"I Danmark er jeg født" - The Danish National Song.

Lyrics: H. C. Andersen, 1850 Melodi: Henrik Rung, 1850

I Danmark er jeg født, dér har jeg hjemme,
der har jeg rod, derfra min verden går.
Du danske sprog, du er min moders stemme,
så sødt velsignet du mit hjerte når.
Du danske, friske strand,
hvor oldtids kæmpegrave
stå mellem æblegård og humlehave.
Dig elsker jeg! - Dig elsker jeg!
Danmark, mit fædreland!

Hvor reder sommeren vel blomstersengen
mer rigt end her, ned til den åbne strand?
Hvor står fuld månen over kløverengen
så dejligt som i bøgens fædreland?
Du danske, friske strand,
hvor Danebrogen vajer, -
Gud gav os den, - Gud giv den bedste sejer!
Dig elsker jeg! - Dig elsker jeg!
Danmark, mit fædreland!

Engang du herre var i hele Norden,
bød over England, - nu du kaldes svag,
et lille land, og dog så vidt om jorden
end høres danskens sang og mejselslag.
Du danske, friske strand,
plovjernet guldhorn finder,
Gud giv dig fremtid. som han gav dig minder!
Dig elsker jeg! - Dig elsker jeg!
Danmark, mit fædreland!

Du land, hvor jeg blev født, hvor jeg har hjemme,
hvor jeg har rod, hvorfra min verden går,
hvor sproget er min moders bløde stemme
og som en sød musik mit hjerte når.
Du danske, friske strand
med vilde svaners rede,
I grønne ø'r, mit hjertes hjem hernede!
Dig elsker jeg! - Dig elsker jeg!
Danmark, mit fædreland!

5)         Hans Peter Madsen (Klank) ( my Grandfather) born –  born 2 July 1881 in Nordrup Øster, Sorø. He took on the name Klank after he moved to Klank, Jylland and remarried. Rumours goes that he has 5 more children in Jylland, but          I have never been able to find any.

Hans Peter Madsen was quite a guy.  He was running around with other women and Farmor Johanne left him in 1908 and there is a divorce decree of 1911 (It is in the possession of Gudrun Rasmussen) and I have a copy.

We also have copies of letters written to her daughter-in-law Farmor Johnnae,  written by Hans Peter Madsen’s mother Ane Marie Pedersen, who was quite upset at her son for fooling around and not take care of his responsibilities as a Father.

When he came to the divorce court in 1911 the judge asked him why he had paid the 10 kroner that he was supposed to pay Johanne every month.  He said “he forgot”.

His parents Lars Madsen (whom I never met) and Ane Marie had to pay all his debts.

He was judged to never marry again, but as I said above, the rumours goes that he left Sjœlland and moved to Jylland, remarried and had 5 more kids.

Johanne settled in Roskilde where she was running her own laundry business.

She had a German boy friends – Otto-  They had a daughter

Else Madsen. born 25 September 1913

That is the end of what I have for the name HERSOM, since I don’t know the Father of Christian Pedersen Hersom.

Christian Pedersen might have been called just Christian Pedersen and adopted the name HERSOM from the town HERSOM in Viborg Amt, or from a farm called HERSOM? This is just speculation, and have not been researched.

Manden på risten

Melody: Mich. Carr - Tekst: Aage Steffensen

Her står jeg hver aften på "risten",
mens jeg kigger på Vesterbro.
Jeg nyder det flammende neonlys,
uden ophold fra seks til to.
Jeg har det omtrent som de rige,
jeg er hver nat på "restaurant".
Man godt på en måde kan sige,
at jeg br såd'n en slags "gourmand".
Jeg har med de ædlere dele
ej vrøvl som en anden grosser' .
Min mave kan tåle det hele
og lidt til og meget mer' .
Jeg napper "fasanen" i flugten
efter "bøffen", min yndlingsret,
jeg får aldrig andet end lugten,
men af den kan man godt bli' mæt.
Mens de derinde nedsvælger bourgogne og bordeaux,
blir jeg beruset af duften fra Vesterbro.

Jeg skal ikke stille i smoking
så jeg ka' vær' lige glad
jeg har aldrig vrøvl med tjeneren
hvergang jeg har bestilt lidt mad
for mig er der ingen der bukker
drikkepengene sparer jeg
om osse derinde de lukker
ja så rager det ikke mig
jeg har ingen små kontroverser
om elskov, for jeg vil ha fred
jeg slæber ej damer i Nertzer
og hermelinspelse med
en schlager jeg hører på risten
der er piger i Singapore
jeg kender dog ej komponisten
det kan han vær' lyk'lig for
men når så Schubert i øret sig lister kan i tro
så vågner Jensen på risten på vesterbro.

I går fik vi lam i asparges
om det smagte det ikke ordet
et eventyr var osse ribbenstegen
indirekte fra varme bordet
det ville ha glædet johansen
i november han skred gedult
han misted en dag lugtesansen
og så ebbed han ud af sult,
jeg sad ved hans leje på selve
den aften da feberen kom
skønt han havde 47.11
så lå han og talte om
de dejlige nætter på risten,
nå men sådan er livets gang
en skønne dag udløber fristen
og man synger sin sidste sang
nu gad jeg vide om risten ved himmeriges kro
kan være bedre end risten på vesterbro.

LIFE ON VESTERBRO - with Music – Song – and Dance

When I listen to Carl Alstrup singing “Manden Paa Risten”  I can get quite emotional, because it brings back memories of me walking down Vesterbrogade to Tivoli.

Before entering Tivoli, I always lingered a bit at the Wivex Resturant – next door to Tivoli where homeless men would sit in front on the street.

There where grills in the sidewalk that brought up heat and delicious food odors from the restaurant.

My life on Vesterbro started when my parents split up in 1947.

My parents had been married for twenty years when my Dad left the family and married Sigrid Olsen April 1947. Sigrid Olsen was sister to Karla Olsen who was married to my Mom’s stepbrother, so it was a further insult to my Mom.

My parents had survived the Second World War and now that things were getting better, their marriage fell apart. They had to sell our house in Taarnby and my Mom, my sister Birgit and I moved to Vesterbro in Copenhagen. My Dad moved to Frederiksberg.

I was placed in 5^th grade in Enghave Plads skole, but I missed my Taarnby Skole so much that my Mom would let me go back and finish grade five in Taarnby. When the weather was good, I biked the ten kilometers every day and I never regretted going there.

Nevertheless, I entered Enghave Plads School in “Mellemskolen” – middle school - and graduated from Enghave Plads Skole 1953. The one thing I liked about Enghave Plads school was the foreign languages we learned. I loved  foreign languages and actually wanted to be a teacher in foreign languages; but after school was finished my Mom placed me in Adam’s Transport company as a Bookkeeping apprentice for three years.

 Enghave Plads

I loved going to Enghave Plads Park to watch the beauty there and especially the birds.

I loved birdwatching so much that my Dad bought me a book about birds.

Enghave Plads was an interesting place in itself.  Often there was music by “The Salvation Army”.  I liked listening to their music.  It was a quiet place – a total different atmosphere than when you entered Istedgade from Enghave Plads. One felt SAFE at Enghave Plads.

Vesterbro became a whole new experience for me and now that I look back, I can see that it made me learn and experience so many things that I quite likely would not had had if we had stayed in Taarnby.

Since my Mom and my sister were working most of the time and I seemed to have difficulty finding friends, I spent a lot of time by myself.

 As a matter of fact, I was bullied a lot when I moved to Vesterbro.  The boys would make fun of me because I had “red afro hair”.  They would tie me up to telephone poles and dance around me like Indians making a sacrifice.

I was never good at team sports, so at school when we had to play “Langbold” they preferred not having me on the team. So, I would sit “on the bench”.

Result was that – besides from my seven-year-older sister Birgit – I spent a LOT of time alone.

My Mom would purchase me season tickets to Tivoli for summer time and The Royal Theatre for the winter time. I also spent a lot of time at “The National Museum”, Glyptoteket and all the other museums in Copenhagen.

It never did enter my mind that I was actually getting an education in my free time. Now that I am old, I realize that my mom knew exactly what she was doing. I loved history in school and of course going to the museums regularly helped my grades a lot.

SUMMER TIMES ON VESTERBRO

In the summertime’s, I spent most of my “growing-up-time” on Gasvœrkshavnen  swimming.

Bade ved Langelinje

I LOVED swimming and many, many days I spent all day in the water.  I took swimming lessons and ended up with my lifeguard certificate, but never did work as a lifeguard.  It was enough for me just to know that could do it.

I especially liked swimming underneath the water.  I practiced holding my breath as long as possible.

When I got a little older I became a “Viking Swimmer”, which meant that we had to start swimming 1^st of April.  It was cold, but it was a challenge and I liked that.

I also liked biking a lot and one time biked all the way to Prœstø. About 80 km.

NO BATHROOM AT THOME

Regular baths at home were not available.  We only had a hallway, a kitchen and two rooms to live in. We did not have a “private” bathroom nor toilet in our apartment.  There was a toilet “outside” the apartment on each floor which had to be shared with the neighbor.

So, in the wintertime, when I could not go swimming my Mom sent me “once a week” to the public “Badeanstalt”.  A public “bathing place” where you could purchase a shower or a sauna.

We would get a little bunch of “trœuld” which was a little lump of rough wood pieces and a piece of soap to wash our bodies with before we went in to the shower. There was no privacy at all.  There could be 30-40 women and girls there to have “a bath”. Nevertheless, I really liked the sauna and to feel clean all over my body.

MY MOM and MY SISTER BIRGIT

MY MOM AND MY SISTER BIRGIT

It was always nice when my mom and my sister was home.  Then I was very happy. They were my family and my strength and Birgit became like “a second Mom to me” the rest of my life.

They both were good cooks and I loved – and still do – eating. As a matter of fact, my mom was such a good cook that she often did catering for small parties for people in their homes and she would take me along to help serve.

Birgit was also a good cook and at the time I could easy eat “10” of her frikadeller.

Sometimes we would run down to the butcher – which had a corner store in the basement just below us – and purchase some “Dansk smørrebrød” – open face sandwiches.  Wow, that was a treat.

When Birgit was home we would go places together.  Besides walking down Istedgade and Vesterbrogade -  when I got a little older -  we would go dancing at the evening restaurants and Cafees.

ARTS AND CRAFTS WERE A PART OF THIS DANISH GIRLS LIFE

My Mom was very crafty and did a lot of sewing.  She had an old treadle sewing machine and when I was 12 years old she started to teach me how to sew clothes.  By 13 I made my first dress.  Boy was I proud of that.

Mom and me loved to sit in the evening – when she was finally home in the evening and look through patterns and magazines with knitting and crochet patterns etc.

Girls actually learned sewing in school from around grade 3 and sewing, knitting and crochet and other crafts were something a girl “you grew up with” as being just a normal part of life in Denmark

WORKING PART TIME.

When I turned 14 I started working at the local library.  I really liked not only working at the library, because I liked earning money, but I liked reading.

My job was to put books away when people were finished reading them, so I got to know a lot of titles on books. I also borrowed a lot of books and was very curious about life and eventually about “boys” since I knew nothing about them.

THE MUSIC CONTINUED

One things that my mother brought in to my life and which has made a very strong footprint on me forever, was her love for music.

Every day we would listen to music on the radio and then we would dance around in our apartment. Music and dancing are inbred in my brain and soul and I still love both.

She eventually cut a record – which unfortunately broke in 1970 – just before I had hoped to put it on a tape.

My mind is full of songs that she would sing: “Glemmer Du” and “ Sig De Ord Du Ved” with   Liva Veel. Whenever I think about my mom – the word music – comes next.

I will never forget when we went to a concert to listen, hear and see “Louis Armstrong”.  That was a highlight of both of our lives.

When I got a little older, Birgit would take me dancing on Friday nights at the small cafes.

AFTERTHOUGHT

Yes, I must admit that even though life was not always easy, I have many fond memories of my life on Vesterbro.

TRANSLATION of Bent’s songs 

We have made two translations for Bent’s songs – from Danish to English. 

1.      Direct translation of the Danish words.

2.      For easier singing ability.

Most of the times the direct translation does not work so it rhymes, so Bent has gave Vibeke more free hands with the second translation so the song still is "sing able"

In some of the cases Vibeke has written additional verses such as in "Eternal Spring" and "Charity".

SONGS ON CD NUMBER ONE

1. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE

There is a personal story behind this song: Vibeke and Bent are both were both in their mid seventies when they met. Well, they knew each other 50 years ago I Denmark, but both were married at time.  When they connected early 2011 they had both been through divorce and family problems, and given up any hope of finding a life companion, thinking it was too late to start over again. They both felt we were too old to start over again.

Bent says: We met each other in a miraculous way and we experienced that “It is never too late to fall in love.” After Vibeke and I had been married for six months, I was sitting one early morning in my car - while I was driving and doing my job in Zion National Park - and got inspiration for the music and text to the refrain for  "It Is Never Too Late". When I came home from work, I told Vibeke that it was the beginning of a song about us.  I then told her that I would finish it later that day after I had had a nap. When I woke up, Vibeke had finished text and music to the three verses.

It was the first time for us, but NOT the last, to compose and write music together. The song was the first song we recorded with John Houston’s recording studio in Hurricane, Utah.

I am singing this song with my daughter Britta Neilson.

Vibeke and I would like  to dedicate this song to all single adults, to give them hope of finding a spouse.  We want to tell them how happy Vibeke and I are that we found our soul mate and telling them IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO FALL IN LOVE.   Bent 

2. WALKING WITH YOU

5. JUST AN OLD FASHION BLUEs

This song is the first tune Bent ever wrote when he was 14 years old 1948 and which was originally called SPRINGTIME BLUES.  At that time he really liked jazz music and often listened to Louis Armstrong and other jazz players. There was no text for this peace but some of Bent’s daughters asked him to write a text, so in 2012 he wrote the text and changed the title to JUST AND OLD FASHION BLUES  Bent is playing accordion. The song was recorded with Bent singing and playing the accordion.  John Houston played bass, guitar mandolin, drum and piano.
