Looking for help with pronunciation of the song “Havde jeg, o havde jeg en Datterson, o ha!”

I believe it is either Danish or Swedish.

Hello West end girl !
Yes, this is Danish, but it could also be Norwegian, from for about 150 years ago, as the Norwegian “Bokmål” is built upon the Danish language.
I will try to translate:
"Oh, if I only had a grandson, oh ha ! "

I can’t help much in terms of Danish pronunciation. But have you found the song at Youtube or Spotify or similar? Or pasted the text into Google translate and clicked the loudspeaker icon to get Google to read it for you?
