| VI PRISER DE GRØNKLÆDTE HØJE | WE PRAISE THE GREEN HILLS |
| | |
| Vi priser de grønklædte høje, | We praise the green hills, |
| der bølger fra strand til strand, | That roll from strand to strand, |
| vi favner med tanke og øje | We embrace with thought and sight |
| vort dejlige fædreland. | Our lovely homeland. |
| | |
| Men ude i fremmede riger, | But out in foreign realms, |
| fra palmer til snefjeldes rand, | From palm to eternal ice, |
| går frejdige drenge og piger | Cheerful children sing, |
| og synger om deres land. | In praise of their own countries. |
| | |
| De priser i vester og øster, | They celebrate in the west and east, |
| hvad fædrene elsked engang, | What our fathers loved, |
| og de er vor broder og søster: | They are our sisters and brothers, |
| vi tolker den samme trang. | We express the same desire. |
| | |
| Og alle de stemmer vil mødes | We will find ourselves once more. |
| og tone i jublende kor, | In a jubilant chorus. |
| når intet i tvedragt forødes, | When nothing is wasted on armour, |
| men retten er magt på jord. | And when justice has power on earth. |
