Nordmannen [English translation]

Between hills and mountains out with the ocean

Has the Norwegian found his home

There he himself has dug the foundations

And sets himself his houses upon them.

He saw out on the stony beaches

It was nobody who there had built

"Let us clear ground, and build ourselves hamlets

And then we will own the clearing for sure"

He saw out at the rugged ocean

It was risky to embark out on

But there were playful fish down in the depths

And that was a sight he wanted to see

During winter sometimes he thought:

"Wish I was in a warmer land!"

But when the spring-sun shimmered in the hills

He started longing to his domestic beach

And when the hillsides grow green like gardens

When there are flowers on every straw

And when nights are as light as days

This is the most beautiful place he ever saw

Between hills and mountains out with the ocean

Has the Norwegian found his home

There he himself has dug the foundations

And sets himself his houses upon them.
