God save Denmark
So embracing, you're so cold
Give me peace, ultra violence
Down to earth and pretentious
Here, I want to live and die
Side by side with wide beeches1
From the west coast to the Devil's Island
Rich kids, ghetto children
Everyone in between
Those who fell like our dannebrog did from the sky2
The stolen cross we've turned sideways in the wind
Half-masting for those who didn't return home
And those who came but the pig fence won't let in
God save, God save
InshAllah3 if fate wills it
It'll (RIGHT!), go (LEFT!)
A little (RIGHT!), more (LEFT!)
It'll (RIGHT!), go (LEFT!)
A little (RIGHT!), more (LEFT!) yeah
Your sons, your daughters
Lose their lives at distant coasts
Breaking for a country
Which won't put people back together
Ogier the Dane, just stay put4
We're in war without you knowing
Little brother syndrome
We just want to go to the party as well
We used to say "Die, HIPO bastard"5
The on-hangers are behind us
Now, we're willingly stepping into line in the middle of chaos
Expecting people to love a country
Which doesn't recognize theirs
May those who sell their fear
Be on their last legs
God save, God save
InshAllah3 if fate wills it
It'll (RIGHT!), go (LEFT!)
A little (RIGHT!), more (LEFT!)
It'll (RIGHT!), go (LEFT!)
A little (RIGHT!), more (LEFT!) yeah
