Den milde dag er lys og lang  og fuld af sol og fuglesang,  og alt er såmænd ganske godt,  når blot, når blot, når blot…  når blot vor nabos Ilsebil  vil det, som jeg så gerne vil,  vil lægge kinden mod min kind  med samme varme sind.  Vil række mig sin lille hånd  med samme redebonne ånd,  vil lukke øjet som til blund  og give mig sin mund.  Ja, dagen den er lys og lang,  og der er nok af fuglesang,  men jeg er bange, Ilsebil  vil ikke det, jeg vil…  Bag hækken kommer Ilsebil,  - mon det er mig, hun smiler til,  hun bærer mælk i klinket fad  og giver katten mad.  Å se, nu smiler hun igen,  min Ilsebil, min egen ven -  det er, som selve solens skin  faldt i mit hjerte ind.

And I never thought I'd feel this way And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe, I love you And if I should ever go away Well, then close your eyes and try To feel the way we do today And then if you can remember Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Well, you came in loving me And now there's so much more I see And so by the way I thank you Oh and then for the times when we're apart Well, then close your eyes and know The words are coming from my heart And then if you can remember Keep smiling and keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for In good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for Whoa, good times and the bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for

about

"I have called the album bånd (bound, in english), because it makes so much sense right now - a tribute to everything that binds us together, to our countries of origin and adoption, to our cultures, which are mutually enriched by meetings and good fortunes," - Line Kruse.
