Sang om merværdi - The surplus value songI'm doing another Danish translation to confuse Moonside, and this time I'm going full Marxist mask off with The surplus value song. From what I gather, this tune is somewhat popular even with non-socialist Danes thanks to its excellent hum- and whistleability:
| Sang om merværdi | The surplus value song |
|---|---|
| Jeg står op om morgenen | I get up in the morning |
| og går hen på mit job | and I go to my job |
| og jeg laver noget | I do some work |
| og jeg får min løn | and I get my pay |
| men det jeg laver | but what I do |
| er mere værd | is worth more |
| end det jeg får | than what I get |
| Hvordan sku' nogen | How else could |
| mennesker ellers | some people |
| blive rige | get rich |
| uden at lave noget? | without doing anything? |
| (0:34) | |
| Nogen er mere værd | Some are worth more |
| end det de får | than what they get |
| andre bruger mere | others consume more |
| end de er værd | than they're worth |
| Penge alene skaber | Money alone creates |
| ingen værdier | no value |
| penge skaber penge | money creates money |
| papir papir. | paper creates paper |
