Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog was the Danish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1958 in Hilversum performed by Raquel Rastenni.
The song is about a woman who regrets her actions, hence "tearing a page out of her diary" and suggesting that her lover/friend needs to do the same to her.
It was performed sixth following Sweden and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting, it placed 8th with 3 points.
Lyrics[]
Dengang du gik i vrede, så fortrød jeg
Fejlen var min – fornuften, tja, den snød mig
Det, vi havde sammen, var smukt og stort
Ved du, hvad jeg nu i dag har gjort?
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære
Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog
Hvis du syn’s, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi’ mig, om også det er svært
Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Gør du li’sådan, min ven
Hader du mig, forsåvidt er der grund nok
Min jalousi, der var jeg mer’ end ond nok
Prøv dog på at tilgi’, at jeg var slem
Og hvis du er stor nok, ja, så glem
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Hvert lille ord har jeg fortrudt, du kære
Hvad nytter det, at jeg er bagklog
Hvis du syn’s, alt skal være slut?
Prøv på at tilgi’ mig, om også det er svært
Så vil jeg love dig, det aldrig hænder mere
Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog
Gør du li’sådan, min ven
Gør du li’sådan, min ven
When you left in anger, I regretted
The fault was mine – reason, well, it tricked me
What we had together, was beautiful and great
Do you know what I’ve done today?
I tore a leaf out of my diary
Every little word I regret, my dear
What’s the use, that I’m wise afterwards
If you think, everything must come to an end?
Try to forgive me, even if it is hard
Then I’ll promise you, that it will never happen again
I tore a leaf out of my diary
You do the same, my friend
If you hate me, really, you have a reason
My jealousy, I was more than mean
Do try to forgive, that I was bad
And if you’re great enough, well then forget
I tore a leaf out of my diary
Every little word I regret, my dear
What’s the use, that I’m wise afterwards
If you think, everything must come to an end?
Try to forgive me, even if it is hard
Then I’ll promise you, that it will never happen again
I tore a leaf out of my diary
You do the same, my friend
You do the same, my friend
