Danish National Anthem

The Danish National Anthem is known as Faedrelandssang – Fathers Land Song.

You can click on the video below to hear the music; if you would like to hear the accompanying words, click on the second video.

On the second video you can hear Miriam Jul Rasmussen singing the Danish National Anthem.

The words are in Danish, but here is the English translation. The words don't really follow that well in English, but at least you can get an idea of what she is singing about.

1: There's a beautiful country

It stands with wide beeches (the tree)

Near the salten eastern beaches

Near the salten eastern beaches

It bays in the back and valley

It's called Old Denmark

And it's the floor/hall of Freja

2: Who sat in former times

The armour dressed fighters

Rested from the fight

Rested from the fight

then went up to the enemies injury

Now resting their legs

Behind the menhir of the hills

Behind the menhir of the hills

3: The country that's still great

because blue is the sea that waves

And the foliage is so green

And the foliage is so green

And noble women and beautiful virgins

And men and healthy swains

Inhabit the islands of the danish

Inhabit the islands of the danish

4:Hail king and motherland

Hail any danish citizen

who gives what he can

who gives what he can

Our old denmark will consist

As long as the beech reflects

it's treetop in the blue waves

it's treetop in the blue waves

And it's the floor/hall of Freja
