Norway National Anthem for Students
“Ja, vi elsker dette landet” (English: “Yes, we love this country”) is the Norwegian national anthem. Originally a patriotic song, it came to be commonly regarded as the de facto National Anthem of Norway since the early 20th century, after being used alongside “Sønner av Norge” since the 1860s.

Norway National Anthem in Norwegian:
Ja, Vi Elsker Dette Landet
(Yes, We Love This Land)
Original Norwegian Words
Ja, vi elsker dette landet,
som det stiger frem,
furet, værbitt, over vannet,
med de tusen hjem.
Elsker, elsker det og tenker
på vår far og mor
og den saganatt som senker
drømmer på vår jord.
og den saganatt som senker,
senker drømmer på vår jord.
Norske mann I hus og hytte,
takk din store Gud!
Landet ville han beskytte
skjønt det mørkt så ut.
Alt hva fedrene har kjempet,
mødrene har grett,
har den Herre stille lempet,
så vi vant vår rett.
har den Herre stille lempet,
så vi vant, vi vant vår rett.
Ja, vi elsker dette landet,
som det stiger frem,
furet, værbitt, over vannet,
med de tusen hjem.
og som fedres kamp har hevet
det av nød til seir,
også vi, nar det blir krevet,
for dets fred slår leir,
også vi, nar det blir krevet,
for dets fred, dets fred slår leir!
Norway National Anthem in English:
Yes, we love with fond devotion
This our land that looms
Rugged, storm-scared o’er the ocean,
With her thousand homes.
Love her, in our love recalling
Those who gave us birth.
And old tales which night, in falling
Bring as dreams to earth.
And old tales which night, in falling
Bring as dreams, as dreams to earth.
Norse man, whatsoe’er thy station,
Thank thy God, Whose power
Willed and wrought the land’s salvation
In her darkest hour.
All our mothers sought with weeping
And our sires in fight,
God has fashioned, in His keeping
Till we gained our right.
God has fashioned, in His keeping
Till we gained, we gained our right.
Yes, we love with fond devotion
This our land that looms
Rugged, storm-scared o’er the ocean,
With her thousand homes.
And, as warrior sires have made her
Wealth and fame increase,
At the call we too will aid her,
Armed to guard her peace.
At the call we too will aid her,
Armed to guard, to guard her peace.
