[ National Anthems ] [ Patriotic Songs and Marches ]
Kingdom of NorwayJa, vi elsker dette landet

Ja, vi elsker dette landet
som det stiger frem
furet, værbitt over vannet
med de tusen hjem
Elsker, elsker det og tenker
på vår far og mor
og den saganatt som senker
drømme på vår jord
Og den saganatt som senker
senker drømme på vår jord

Yes, we love with fond devotion
This our land that looms
Rugged, storm-scarred o'er the ocean
With her thousand homes.
Love her, in our love recalling
Those who gave us birth.
And old tales which night, in falling,
Brings as dreams to earth.

About Anthem

"Ja, vi elsker dette landet" (or: "Ja, vi elsker") (In eng: "Yes, we love this land") is the national anthem of Norway. The lyrics were written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson between 1859 and 1868, and the melody was written by his cousin Rikard Nordraak in 1864. It was first performed publicly on 17 May 1864 in connection with the 50th anniversary of the constitution. Usually only the first and the last two verses are sung (photo: Scouts holding Norwegian flags lead a parade on the 17 May, Norway's Constitution Day. /source: Wikipedia)
