The Playing Man

 Ooh he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

If the sun glimmer in water, so that the playing light glints on – for example - a wall, then people could say: “Det er Loke Lejemand” (There is Loke the Playing Man) – “Nu skal du sidde stille der på (køkken)bordet og se på Loke Lejemand oppe på væggen” (Now you shall sit still on the (kitchen)table and watch Loke the Playing Man on the wall). These were the exact words of an old skipper’s widow from Copenhagen to a little child. This was during a stay on Bogø.”
