[EvanC0912]

[SantaFe19484]

This tune must be the most commonly used for royal anthems.

[brettsworld99]

god save the queen anyone?

[saevaroa]

This song is also in my country Iceland as a tribute to Iceland , also in UK as their national anthem and from this I see that it is also used in norway. Of course with different lyrics in each country.

[DuPuieproductions]

This isn't God save the queen?

[schs1977]

Same music as the English song - "God Save The Queen" and the American song "My County 'Tis of Thee". Very nice!

Samme musikk som English sang - "Gud redde dronning" og den Amerikanske sang "Min Amter 'Sporty av dig". Veldig nice!

[lortexx]

Yeah this is not the national anthem, its the Kings song ^^,

[vegbuh94]

Gir meg alltid en liten tåre i øyekroken, Måtte du leve i hundre år Harald !

[knight7fox2]

God Save the Queen !

[Cromag3]

Hvorfor bruker vi den samme melodien som England? (God save the Queen, kan det stemme?)

[Zugvogel1]

Jup !

Melodien er gleiche.Auch andre land som Tyskland hadde melodien som kongelig nasjonalsang.

(Oversatt av goole)

Greetings ZV

[3kono3]

@Cromag3 hvorfor vi bruker den samme melodien som England når kongen representeres: dette var en av de melodiene som stod dronning maud nært, og hun var jo fra england, og da brakte hun den med seg til norge, oversatte den og innførte den :)

[Faenihelveteasso]

For Konge og fedreland! Alt for Norge!

[robertjohnson487]

I have lived in several countries in the world. Norwegians are the most unfriendly people I have met.

[leander75]

With that attitude i can see why you didn't get your supply of smiles.

Oh by the way.. when i come to listen to our beatifull national anthems i don't find it very friendly seeing your negative shit..

Happy new year!!

You reap what you sow

[subsisting]

pleae note; This is not Norways National anthem, but just the Royal Anthem which many others have.

[TivvyLad]

omg thts jst the the britich national anthem in norwegian

[tellefs]

Yes, the same melody, its called "kongesangen" in norwegian or "the kings song" in english

[Johnnocp]

The Norwegians aren't the only ones try these videos, it seems at somepoint everyones tried to copy the British Anthem;

Molitva Russkikh (The Prayer of the Russians). Valaam Ens

Die deutsche Kaiserhymne (Originalaufnahme)

[varvarg]

Well, the brits stole it from the french first, it was the french royal anthem way back.

[Johnnocp]

Norway only addopted the tune in about 1905, following the accesion to the Norwegian throne by Charles/Carl of Denmark or as he became King Haakon VII. Following the Storthing's decision to end Norway's Union with Sweden. Set to slightly different words form that of the UK one. First performed at Trondheim Cathedral, during Haakons' coronation, used as the coronation Anthem, and laterly adopted as the Royal Anthem of Norway.

[varvarg]

Well, the brits stole it from the french first, it was the french royal anthem a long time ago.

[Johnnocp]

The tune, itself originates in England, and later used in France. Similar lyrics where in common use though in France, before England. As where variation of the lyrics set to different tunes accross Europe, before many adopted, the formalised version of the anthem form the 1760's. The one still used by Britain today.

Nevertheless the French often traditonally used a different tune.

[jasperdg]

It was used throughout Europe. Al the German states for example used the tune (thats why Liechtenstein still uses it with Oben Am Jungen Rhein). It is one of the most common melodies in whole Europe.

[MrHand1926]

God save the King, and the Queen!!!

[dcp93]

Har merka at kongen av Norge er en av di lojaleste du kan finne, ta f.eks 2. verdenskrig, norge hadde kansje tapt men det hadde ikke Kong Håkon, han fortsatte, Norge fortsatte, vi blei aldri slått så lenge Kong Håkon ikke ville gi seg, måtte Kong Harald gjøre det samme.

Lenge leve Kong Harald 5. av Norge!!

[NinaArgus10]

føkk kongen!

neida :P

[rightmoment]

Moron

[NinaArgus10]

Jeg bare kødda. Jeg er glad i kongen vår jeg

[geitebukk]

Heia Norge! Heia Kongen!

[bizbutton]

Leve Kongen og Fedrelandet!

[danishpride1]

One big fony copy of God Save the Queen

[notanadikt666]

We had it first, n00b

[nonnene]

It was the franch king in 1645, it was sung to first, then the english king/queen in the 1900 ct.

Then it was "given" to the danish and norwegian king in the end of the 1900 ct. and whene Norway did get ther king in 1905 it was Norwegian.

So needer the English or the Norwegians had it first.

[diekken]

And it was the 'Anthem' of the Germans in the 19th and 20th century.

[tellefs]

I just want to tell you that this is not our national anthem, n00b xD

[Elvuz]

Long live Kingdom of Norway and long live H.M. King Harald the Fifth!

And long live the monarchy - the only natural and righteous form of government!

GUD, SIGN NORGES KONGE GOD!

[muffles12]

well king harold grandmom is garndaughter of queen victora

[aubergine2c]

Wow! That sounds like our national anthem, God Save the Queen.

[Hasselberg666]

it's not our National Anthem, but the Royal Anthem :) if we win in wintersports you won't hear this being played...

[vsovereign]

isn't that God Save the Queen?

[sonoNEKO]

yes, and God Save the King, and Bozhe Tsarya Khrani, and My Country 'Tis of Thee, and I'm sure many other songs

It's fairly common.

[bizbutton]

Bozhe Tsarya Khrani had a different melody.

[fightthespoons]

the other Bože Tsarja Khrani

[stuc1012]

You mean Molitva Russkikh

[buchen9]

yes and its the melody of the old swiss anthem and the anthem of liechtenstein has also this melody

[BellaPigen90]

It really sounds like the old Danish songs, I mean the melody .. I like it :P

[muffles12]

god bless king is that royal anthem of norway? theme45

[Stelgim]

yes..

[andrewh1112]

In Norwegian the song goes a bit like this:

God bless our King (well)

bless him with power and courage

bless his home and castle

shine upon him (by your spirit)

bind with your strong hand

holy bonds of allegiance

between people and King

[muffles12]

how long is take? what go frist prime minster or your king?

[erikfloan]

the king do not have any political power, he cannot even vote!

[muffles12]

that king of norway?

[andrewh1112]

Yes, that is the King of Norway. His Majesty King Harald V.

[SamHawkens]

English translation:

Hail to thee in victory's crown,

Ruler of the fatherland,

Hail to thee, Emperor!

Feel in the throne's glow

The high ecstasy in full

To be darling of thy people!

Hail to thee, Emperor!

[lehtorja]

Thanks so much! I've never seen these words, not to mention a translation. The Germans replaced this anthem with the then Austrian imperial anthem (with new words Deutscland über alles) during the Great War, if I have got it right?

[SamHawkens]

Not exactly. The Song of the Germans ("Deutschland über alles") became national anthem in 1922. Before that, the German Reich had no official national anthem but only an official Emperor's anthem (as mentioned above) and an unofficial anthem ("The Watch at the Rhine").

[Totto87]

without bothering to fully correct; King, not emperor.. emperor would be "keiser" in norwegian.. :)

[SamHawkens]

The German Emperor's anthem used the same melody:

Heil, dir, im Siegerkranz

Herrscher des Vaterlands,

Heil, Kaiser, dir!

Fühl in des Thrones Glanz

Die hohe Wonne ganz

Liebling des Volks zu sein,

Heil, Kaiser, dir!

[muffles12]

are you from the norway?

[wtanoto]

o lord our god arise scatter her enemy and make them fall. counfound their politics frustrate their knavish trick. on thee our hopes we fix. god save us all

[slibrebu]

God bless this country, long live the nation and the people.

[theme45]

That is the original english lyrics, indeed!

[OBrasilo]

God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen.

[Chubbyoslo]

DØ for Norge!!

[HobotovEtoMelko]
