Mitt lille land [English translation]

My little country

A little place, a handful of peace

Spread out between plateaus and fjords

My little country

Where high mountains stand planted

Between houses and people and words

And where silence and dreams grow

Like an echo in meagre earth

My little country

Where the sea strokes gentle and soft

Like a caressing from coast to coast

My little country

Where stars glide past

And become a landscape when it gets light

While the night stands pale and silent

My little country

A little place, a handful of peace

Spread out between plateaus and fjords

My little country

Where high mountains stand planted

Between houses and people and words

And where silence and dreams grow

Like an echo in meagre earth
