Serving you all a small piece of Norway, on this, our National Day - 17th of May. Of course it has just started, but what the hey. In a few hours the morning parade will begin and wake up the city
This song btw, is said by many to be the most beautiful national anthem
Translation: Yes, we love this country as it rises forth, rugged, weathered, above the sea, with the thousands of homes. Love, love it and think of our father and mother and the saga night that sends dreams to our earth. And the saga night that sends sends dreams to our earth.
Norseman in house and cabin, thank your great God! The country he wanted to protect, although things looked dark. All the fights fathers have fought, and the mothers have wept, the Lord has quietly moved so we won our rights. The Lord has quietly moved so we won, we won our rights.
The song actually has 8 verses in total, but most commonly these two verses, or a version with 3 verses is what is sung.

I would give my left pinky finger to see Alanis Morissette live. Most of her songs give me tingles.
