With all love and respect to Norwegian people, I gave my opinion about this anthem from "Musical and Artistic" point of view objectively and with no bias what so ever.

![National Anthem of Norway - "Ja Vi Elsker Dette Landet" [ALL VERSES]](/img/n.gif)
You nailed it. Our national anthem is about love for the country, nature and the people who live there.
I mean, the song is called "Ja, vi elsker dette landet", and that literallly translates to "Yes, we love this country. the song is pretty much about how proud we Norwegians are of our country and what it's been through.
Goosebumps ❤
Im from Norway 🇧🇻
Nice video😊 Greetings from Norway🇳🇴😊
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,
dreams to our earth.
This country Harald united
with his army of heroes,
this country Håkon protected
whilst Øyvind sung;
upon the country Olav painted
with his blood the cross,
from its heights Sverre spoke
up against Rome.
Farmers their axes sharpened
wherever an army advanced,
Tordenskjold along the coastline thundered
so that we could see it back home.
Even women stood up and fought
as if they were men;
others could only cry
but that soon would end
Sure, we were not many
but we were enough,
when we were tested sometimes,
and it was at stake;
we would rather burn our land
than to declare defeat;
just remember what happened
down at Fredrikshald!
Hard times we have coped with,
were at last disowned;
but in the worst distress, blue-eyed
freedom was to us born.
It gave (us) father's strength to carry
famine and war,
it gave death itself its honour -
and it gave reconciliation.
The enemy threw away his weapon,
up the visor went,
we, in wonder, to him hastened,
because he was our brother.
Driven forth to a stand by shame
we went to the south;
now we three brothers stand united,
and shall stand like that!
Norwegian man 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,56
the Lord has quietly moved
so we won our rights
Yes, we love this country
as it rises forth,
rugged, weathered, above the sea,
with those thousand homes.
And as the fathers' struggle has raised
it from need to victory,
even we, when it is demanded,
for its peace will encamp (for defence).
----

----
The King himself stands strong and open
As our border guard
and his most powerful weapon
is our brethren pact
Thanks for your great translation
I am proud of you for calling Norway the best Nordic country, Thank you!
About the length of our anthem, you listened to 1/3rd of it all, it has all in all 9 verses, written by my great great great grandfather Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
We only sing 1 or two verses normally
I like Norway too
Norway has basically always been called Norway since its founding (In norwegian its called "Norge" or "Noreg") But the most common word for Norway back at its greatest extent is "Norgesveldet" i believe
you are absolutely right
No, Norgesveldet was from the time when Norway colonised Greenland, Iceland and The Faroe islands. It's just an old way of saying "the Norwegian empire". Norway's called "Norge" because of "Norig" - meaning "the northern realm" or "Noreg" derived of Nordvegen - meaning the path North.
I am Norwegian and know that it’s only called Norge, but i misread the comment. I am not very good at english
@catboy_Gaming-no No worries:) Most Norwegians have no clue why Norway is called "Norge/Noreg". There's very little historic evidence to the name. Two possibilities are what I wrote earlier. It's an old name for a country still in use, but the coat of arms is the oldest in the world - still in use. Denmark has the oldest flag in the world - still in use.
It was called Norvegr (spoken; norvegir) , Nortugia, Norđweg and Norđmanna land in books and maps during the 800s. Before our time in greek litterature it was seen as part of Germania, but was also called "the land of sky seas" and "the land before heavens" as they thought the slushy (Not quite frozen in late Autumn and during spring) oceans and fjords was clouds. But it was also called Thule and "the land of fire and ice" .The northern light was the "Shine" from the bridge (Bifrost) to Heaven's gates. Heaven's gates are never far fom the gates to hell and as the sun set between two pointy islands, they saw were those gates were. To this day those islands are called "Hell's gates" (Helvetesporten). The tall people walking on those clouds, were heavenly beings, and they could gift the visitors the abillity to walk on water and clouds while they were there. 🤗
Yes, we love this country as it rises from the waves.
Furrowed, weather stained, over the water, with a thousand homes.
Love, love it and think, about father and mother, and the sage night that sinks, dreams upon our earth/land.
That's my best attempt at translating the first part.
If you're interested I can try the other ones too.
At least a few.
A bit late here :P
saganatt, which you translate as sage night doesn't really have a translation so we can describe the definition.
Saganatt is defined as an era of history, though since it's a word no one uses anymore it's definition has become somewhat debated and some even thought the stanza was in relation to war. Personally I've always been confused by this line and just taken it for granted as even when knowing the definition of saganatt, I still cannot 100% tell anyone what the line really means. I take it as the history of our country and people giving us hope and dreams for the future, as it is in a line talking about loving our predecessors.
Funny how you said you felt the song had a deep love and emotion for the country. Because the lyrics is about that, about the country, the people and how we have fought for it and how proud we are of our little place up in the north. The wiki page has the lyrics translated in english also, you can check it out here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja,_vi_elsker_dette_landet
Personally I also love the desert landscape, especially where there are sanddunes...And theres the most perfect sand beaches everywhere. I am norwegian, but I used to live in Qatar from I was 10-16 years old. Have a lot of great memories from it and the culture. One funny thing: Norways national day is 17th of may. And each year the Qatar royal corps came to visit our norwegian school there to play our national anthem because they liked learning new songs to play.
The song is much longer, it has 8 verses. But we usually oinly sing the first and two last verses.
Norevegen was the Norse-name of Norway,which means ‘the way to the North’ 🇳🇴
Nice video:) Where are you from my friend? Thanks from Norway
Thanks, KSA.
amazing video
gratulere med dagen Norge.
gratulation with this day Norway
Hi mate!
If you still want to visit, we can make that happen!
Of course, why not
Thank you for the great advertising you give us Norwegians. Yes, we are a proud nation. We are a maritime nation that had many, many sailors. Unfortunately, the politicians in Oslo (the capital) ruined it by flagging our boats under the guise of saving money. In the North Sea we have oil and fish. We have fjords that are so long and deep, with high mountains that look majestic from the sea side. I am a sailor myself and have sailed along one of the world's longest coastlines more than once. I am proud of my ancestors. The family tree goes back to a little before the year 1000 AD. "Viking" means two things. When they said they were "Going Viking", they meant plundering wherever they went in the world. But it also means "We Kings", as there were many kings before Harald Hårfagre united Norway into a kingdom. Hence the name Viking.
Harald Hårfagre hardly came from Vestfold, as Snorri has taught us and generations after him have accepted. Where was Harald Hårfagre from, if he did not come from Vestfold? The contemporary "Harald's squad" tells that Harald's opponents went east after the battle at Hafrsfjord. This may indicate that Harald was staying somewhere else, in Western Norway. The hub of Avaldsnes on the island of Karmøy (where I was born and raised). They, the Vikings, did not let foreigner boats through the fjord until those who wanted to pass through the fjord had paid for a safe voyage. On the other side of the island is the North Sea. King Ferking was waiting there to stop those who would not pay taxes.
The saga tradition gives Harald Hårfagre strong roots in Sogn, through his foster father. It is equally likely that he was from or had a base at Avaldsnes, where, according to Snorre, he is buried.
In recent years, excavations have been carried out at Avaldsnes to try to gain more knowledge about Harald Hårfagre's royal estate. Avaldsnes was a key point along the coast, not only for the early kings, but also for powerful chieftains far back in time.
Archaeologist Bjørn Myhre has shown that there were chieftains' seats along the Westland coast all the way back to the first centuries after Christ. In the Migration Period (4th-5th centuries) there were around eight-nine chiefdoms along the coast, but towards the Viking Age they were reduced to three: Agder, Jæren and central Sogn. King Harald's farms.
Skaldekvad mentions five royal farms that Harald Hårfagre traveled between after winning at Hafrsfjord: Utstein, Avaldsnes, Fitjar, Alrekstad and Seim. Chiefs had previously lived on these farms. Later in the Middle Ages, they became royal property and eventually church property, when the king gave much of his best property to the church.
Harald Hårfagre probably came from Western Norway, and traveled between these farms, which were centrally and strategically located on the sailing route, about a day's journey apart. The core of what would become Norway is probably five farms in Western Norway.
In the later Icelandic saga tradition, Harald Hårfagre was described as a tyrant and an important reason why people sought west to Iceland: Freedom-loving Icelanders did everything to escape the king's harsh rule.
King Harald's harsh rule was undoubtedly important to Icelanders in the 13th century, to explain how their society had come about, and to exalt its values. But this version hardly has much history to it.
Harald ruled over his small core area along the Westland coast by traveling between his farms. The presence was necessary partly to ensure control over the area, partly to secure resources. The king ate and drank his way around his kingdom.
What then of areas that were further away - how to rule a larger kingdom? In modern thought we will look for how power was delegated in the form of offices. We know of royal proxies from this time, but by far the most effective way of delegating power was to disperse their offspring.
According to Snorre, Harald Hårfagre had over twenty children with seven wives. There is no reason to rely on Snorre's specific information. But the mechanism itself, to have as many children as possible with as many women as possible - was a likely strategy. In the next round, it was about marrying off their children to powerful families around the country.
To the extent that this society had a political sphere, it consisted of precisely this: forming alliances through leaving physical traces.
Norwegians and the others
Ottar's report from approx. 890 can tell us more about the term "Norvegr", because he defined "the men from the north" (northmen) in relation to two other people groups: the Sami in the north and the Danes in the south. They differed from the Sami in that they were permanent residents and not nomadic - a difference that had probably crystallized gradually over hundreds of years.
In relation to the Danes, the distinction was more politically and geographically based. While the Danes dominated in the areas around the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, people along the Westland coast - the actual Norway - were oriented towards the North Sea, towards the British Isles and the Atlantic islands. In the Viking Age and for a long time to come, it was sea that bound together, and land that separated. When Norvegr later became Norway, it was to include much larger areas. But that is a different story, and far from an obvious scenario seen from the Viking Age.
HIPP HIPP HURA🎉 Norway national day is today 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Yes, the oldest names for Norway are "nuruiak" and "inuriki", but for the last 1000-1100 years, it has been most commonly known in variations of its current form. The current Norwegian name is "Norge" or "Noreg", but nobody knows what it actually means. The two most common theories is the obvious one; the way to the north "norðrvegr", but another is that it actually means "the land along the narrow fjords; "norvegr". We just don't know. Some believe it comes from a mythological forgotten king, Nor, who is supposed to have been the first ruler before known history.
Nobody knows what Oslo means either. :)
As for the anthem, I think it's very beautiful, but it's not my favorite Norwegian anthem. My favorite is the Children's Anthem, "Vi ere en nation vi med", ("We are a nation too, the small, the cubit tall"), perhaps because I think it's fairly unique for a country to have a children's anthem. It was fun to hear your perspective. :)
Fear enough and convincing. Thank v. much for your input.
I agree, "Vi ere een Nation vi med" is beautifull. The REAL Norwegian anthem (until 2017 I believe) was "Sønner af Norge" which won a competition to introduce a national anthem for a "new independent Norway" after the Napoleonic wars 1814/15. (The competition was in 1820). "Ja vi Elsker" was written/composed (by Bjørnson and Nordraak) in 1864 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Danish/Norwegian union in 1814. It somehow stuck as an alternative national anthem after the first modern Olympic Games in 1896..(when Bjørnson was still alive).
@@kristena9285: We never had a "real" anthem before December 11th 2019, but it _sort_ of officially became our anthem in 1905, because the King said so and the parliament agreed. It was simply never written into law because of the lack of controversy. Then a political party needed a win, so we gave them a formalization of something that had been completely uncontroversial for 155 years. That's politics in a nutshell. :)
@@jeschinstad Well.. according to Wikipedia (which is allways right ;-) ) ""Sønner av Norge" is the common title of the song "Norsk Nationalsang", which was the de facto national anthem of Norway from 1820 until the early 20th century."
And: "Sønner af Norge, poem by Henrik Anker Bjerregaard, winning of a contest by invitation of "Selskabet for Norges Vel" for the best "National Song/Anthem". Christian Blom composed the music and the song was the national anthem until 1864, when it was replaced by "Ja, vi elsker."
@@kristena9285: Well, that is wrong. The title is Sønner av Norge. As an entry in the competition to make a national anthem, it may have had that title originally, along with hundreds of others, but that doesn't make it the real title. De facto just means exactly what I said, that the song was not formally recognized as the anthem of Norway.
Er noen norske her?

Sjunga har ni aldrig kunnat men ett vackert broder land :D
