Greenlandic Anthem

Nunarput, utoqqarsuanngoravit
Niaqqut ulissimavoq qiinik.
Qitornatit kissumiaannarpatit
Tunillugit sineriavit piinik.

Akullequtaasutut merlertutut
Ilinni perortugut tamaani
Kalaallinik imminik taajumavugut
Niaqquit ataqqinartup saani.

Taqilluni naami atunngiveqaaq,
kalaallit siumut makigitsi.
Inuttut inuuneq pigiuminaqaaq,
saperasi isumaqaleritsi.

Our country, which has become so old
your head is all covered with white hair.
Always held us, your children, in your bosom
and gave us the riches of your coasts.

As middle children in the family
we blossomed here
Kalaallit, we want to call ourselves
before your proud and honourable head.

Humbleness is not the course,
Kalaallit wake up and be proud!
A dignified life is our goal;
courageously take a stand

Always held us, your children, in your bosom
and gave us the riches of your coasts.

As middle children in the family

Kalaallit, we want to call ourselves
before your proud and honourable head.

With a burning desire to develop what you have
to give, renewing,
removing your obstacles
our desire to move is forward, forward.

The way of matured societies
is our zealous goal to attain;
the effect of speech and letters
we long to behold

Humbleness is not the course,
Kalaallit wake up and be proud!
A dignified life is our goal;
courageously take a stand
