Yeah, could be "fyre" and "piger". The latter is basic danish for "girl", and the former is a kind of cute/endearing term for just about any male person (up to some point in age). Actually "fyr" (one "fyr", several "fyre") was originally an old danish term for a castrated male cat...!

LOL
well, I can see why that is an endearing term for a young lad before puberty!
