ok, so everyone knows Christmas is coming, and I found a Christmas carol. Said carol is in another language (I think possibly Danish, but I'm not sure about that) and I'd like to know what the words mean, and also how to pronounce them. any help is gladly welcome!

the carol is Et Barn Er Født I Bethlehem.

Et barn er født i Bethlehem,
Bethlehem,
thi glæder sig Jerusalem.
Halleluja,
halleluja!

Guds kære børn vi blev påny,
blev påny,
skal holde jul i himmelby.
Halleluja,
halleluja!


the two verses here are the ones I need to know, though there are others. Thanks to whoever knows anything!

thankees much, Ellie! unfortunately my prowess with Mr Google is sorely lacking. so thanks for going to the trouble to look that up for me!


p.s. if anyone knows pronunciations, I'd love to know the right way to be singing this.
