Hino da Dinamarca

National Anthem of Denmark

Hino da Dinamarca

There is a lovely countryDer er et yndigt land
It stands with broad beech treesDet står med brede bøge
Near the salty eastern shoreNær salten østerstrand
Near the salty eastern shoreNær salten østerstrand

It winds itself in hill, valleyDet bugter sig I bakke, dal
It is called old DenmarkDet hedder gamle Danmark
And it is Freja's hallOg det er Frejas sal
And it is Freja's hallOg det er Frejas sal

There sat in ancient timesDer sad I fordums tid
The armored giantsDe harniskklædte kæmper
Resting from battleUdhvilede fra strid
Resting from battleUdhvilede fra strid

Then they went forth to the enemies' injurySå drog de frem til fjenders mén
Now their bones are restingNu hvile deres bene
Behind the mound's menhirBag højens bautasten
Behind the mound's menhirBag højens bautasten

The land is still beautifulDet land endnu er skønt
For the sea belts it blueThi blå sig søen bælter
And the leaves stand so greenOg løvet står så grønt
And the leaves stand so greenOg løvet står så grønt

And noble women, lovely maidensOg ædle kvinder, skønne mø'r
And men and brave ladsOg mænd og raske svende
Inhabit the Danish islesBebo de danskes øer
Inhabit the Danish islesBebo de danskes øer

Hail king and fatherland!Hil drot og fædreland!
Hail every citizenHil hver en danneborger
Who works, what he canSom virker, hvad han kan
Who works, what he can!Som virker, hvad han kan!

Our old Denmark shall endureVort gamle Danmark skal bestå
As long as the beech reflectsSå længe bøgen spejler
Its top in the blue waveSin top I bølgen blå
Its top in the blue waveSin top I bølgen blå

Our old Denmark shall endureVort gamle Danmark skal bestå
As long as the beech reflectsSå længe bøgen spejler
Its top in the blue waveSin top I bølgen blå
Its top in the blue waveSin top I bølgen blå
