Sámiid Ædnan

Lapland
Enkel tone, to små ord: Sámiid Ædnan, samisk jord A simple tune, two small words: Lapland, Sami earth
Kom som vindpust ifra nord, ifra nord, Sámiid Ædnan It came with the wind from north, from north, Lapland
  
Kan et krav få mjukar form: Sámiid Ædnan, Sameland Can a demand get any softer: Lapland, the land of the Sami people
Vokste sæ fra bris tel storm, bris tel storm, Sámiid Ædnan It grew from a breeze to a storm, from a breeze to a storm, Lapland
  
Framførr tinget der dem satt, Sámiid Ædnan, Sámiid Ædnan In front of the parliament where they sat, Lapland, Lapland
Hørtes joiken dag og natt, Sámiid Ædnan The yoik was heard day and night, Lapland
  
Framførr tinget der dem satt, oj... In front of the parliament where they sat, oy...
Hørtes joiken dag og natt, Sámiid Ædnan The yoik was heard day and night, Lapland
  
Joik har større kraft enn krutt, Sámiid Ædnan Yoik is stronger than gunpowder, Lapland
Førr en joik tar aldri slutt, oh... Sámiid Ædnan Because a yoik never ends, oh... Lapland
  
Førr en joik tar aldri slutt, Sámiid Ædnan Because a yoik never ends, Lapland
