Danish National Anthem Lyrics
Denmark 1
Der er et Yndigt Land
(A Lovely Land is Ours)
Original Danish Words
Der er et yndigt land,
Det står med brede bøge
Nær salten østerstrand;
Det bugter sig i bakke, dal,
Det hedder gamle Danmark,
Og det er Frejas sal.
English Translation
A lovely land is ours
With beeches green about her
Encircled by the sea
Her hills and vales are manifold
Her name, of old, is Denmark
And she is Freya's home
Denmark 2
Kong Christian Stod ved Højen Mast
(King Christian Stood by the Lofty Mast)
Listen to "Kong Christian Stod ved Højen Mast"
Original Danish Words
Kong Kristian stod ved højen mast i røg og damp;
Hans værge hamrede så fast,
At Gotens hjelm og hjerne brast.
Da sank hver fjendligt spejl og mast i røg und damp.
„Fly," skreg de, „fly, hvad flygte kan!
Hvo står for Danmarks Kristian i kamp?"
English Translation
King Christian stood by the tall mast in smoke and mist;
his sword was hammering so hard,
that the Swedes' helmets and brains cracked.
Then sank every enemy stern and mast in smoke and mist.
"Flee," they screamed, "flee as flee can!
Who can stand up to Denmark's Christian in battle?"
