    Lyrics - Fyn Er Fin (as provided by listener Mats Ahlin (Note: Fyn is one of the Danish islands):

    You can think it's a good sight To look at the scenery in Midtfyn When a groomed hooked road "Stand down and there" No a " Is there a troll with witch shudder? And princesses with sexy skin And they dance wild at night However, they protect the magic tax Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice.

    You can think it's a good sight When you are a bye and you have seen Funen Beautiful houses ... island bukke shower Thy protest singer and a horse contender Between Store and Lillebælt We have a crown with circus tents And we sing and drink at night We will give you if you want to take it Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice.

    To all of you who have only seen Funen And never been to Midtfyn itself You must know, you must suffer And are you blinded with sadness in the mind And do not know a farm Then you will be healed in Lundeborg Because there you sing gently at night An anthem just like people want it Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice.

    Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice Fyn is nice, Fyn is nice, Fyn is NICE.
