Thou ancient, Thou free
Thou mountainous north
Thou quiet
Thou joyful beauty
I salute thee, loveliest land upon earth
Thy sun, thy sky and thy green fields.
Thou thronest on memories
of great ancient days
When honoured Thy name flew across the earth
I know that thou are and will remain what thou were
Yes I want to live
I want to die in the north
Yes I want to live
I want to die in the north
