English subtitled version.

Four years after its success with the "Nøtteknekker" (the "Nutcracker") commercial, the Aker group of companies is launching the industrial story "Made by Norway" on prime time Norwegian television. The film is a tribute to people working in industry today - people who work hard and never give up.

About the subtitles: I wanted to stay as close to the Norwegian words as possible, and so the subtitles don't always rhyme in all the right places, but I hope they convey the original meaning of the poem better because of it.

  • @markustk: It IS an old poem, but I did have to come up with the translation myself. :)

    I did find some translations on the internet at first, but I didn't think they relayed any of the emotion of the poem. Almost looked like they'd simply been run through the Google translator.

  • Proud to be Norwegian-American. I love this video.

  • Thank the lord, the subtitling was done properly. So much dreading that there would be some emo punk, messing it all up.

    Man, this vid gives me goooose bumps!

    Go Anderz! :D

  • I do. But I read the right BOOK.

  • @Norsknurse plate tectonics made Norway. Read a book

  • This dialect sounds a bit like french

  • Nice, but God made Norge not man.

  • Fantastiskt bra reklam. Många av mina norska vänner blir berörda av den på ett eller annat vis. Som svensk rör den också en del av mig som symboliserar allt det som är norskt. Havet, naturen, kampen, fisket, det lilla och det stora.

    Fina bilder och en fin dikt. Kjempegreit Norge! :)

  • Absolutely gorgeous. Someday . . . I hope to be able to be part of such a wonderful country.

    Elsker fra Seattle, Washington, USA

  • I am extra proud to be Norwegian-Corsican when watching this video.

  • Elsker mitt land!

  • This gives me goosepimples!!!!

  • @UploadingFriend It's a nice translation, well done.
