Aldrig Slav [English translation]

Heavy dark clouds are darkening the blue sky

Only rain and thunder, together shall we go

We become more and more like the future looks

Walking through life, wearing our belief in freedom

If war shall come, I will give

Like those that gave before

My life to never, never become a slave

From the poems of ancient times, we take our sustenance

Listening to the councel, that the skalds gave us (1)

If we lose our ancient past, our future is our grave

Open your eyes to see, and take your counsel from them
