Gud Bevare [English translation]

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
