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
