My Homeland, Dorvik

Beloved Homeland, Dorvik is Dorvik's national anthem.


 * O, Dorvik's placid banks heard
 * The resounding shouting of a heroic people.
 * And the sun of freedom, in bright rays,
 * Shone at this moment in the homeland's skies.
 * As the promise of this equality
 * Was secured by our strong arms,
 * In your bosom, O Freedom,
 * We are ready to die.


 * O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
 * Dorvik, a vivid dream, a lively ray
 * Of love and hope settles on the earth,
 * As in your beautiful sky, smiling and limpid,
 * The image of the Northern Sun shines resplendent.
 * A giant by nature, you are beautiful,
 * Strong, an intrepid colossus,
 * And your future mirrors this grandeur.

(CHORUS)
 * O land we adore, among a thousand others
 * You are the beloved one.
 * You are the gentle mother of the sons of this land,
 * Beloved homeland, Dorvik!


 * Eternally laid in a splendid cradle,
 * To the sound of the sea and the light from the depths of the sky,
 * Dorvik, you gleam, fleuron of the World,
 * Illuminated by the Sun of the North.
 * Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers
 * Than the most attractive land elsewhere,
 * Our forests have more life,
 * Our life in your bosom more love.


 * O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail!
 * Dorvik, may you have as eternal symbol
 * The brilliant banner you display,
 * And may the green laurel of this pennant speak
 * Of peace in the future and glory in the past.
 * But if you raise a strong cudgel in the name of justice,
 * You will see that a son of yours does not run from a fight,
 * Nor does one who adores you fear death.

CHORUS
