Danish Royal Anthem - Kong Christian stod ved højen mast

Kong Christian stod ved højen mast - King Christian stood by the lofty mast.
It is an instrumental version of the song as performed by the U.S. Navy band, lyrics come in danish and english, sing along!
==LYRICS==

Kong Christian stod ved højen mast
i røg og damp.
Hans værge hamrede så fast,
at gotens hjælm og hjerne brast.
Da sank hvert fjendtligt spejl og mast
i røg og damp.
Fly, skreg de, fly, hvad flygte kan!
hvo står for Danmarks Christian,
hvo står for Danmarks Christian, i kamp?

Niels Juel gav agt på stormens brag:
Nu er det tid!
Han hejsede det røde flag
og slog på fjenden slag i slag.
Da skreg de højt blandt stormens brag:
Nu er det tid!
Fly, skreg de, hver, som ved et skjul!
hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel,
hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel, i strid?

O, Nordhav! glimt af Wessel brød
din mørke sky!
Da ty'de kæmper til dit skød,
thi med ham lynte skræk og død.
Fra valen hørtes vrål, som brød
den tykke sky:
Fra Danmark lyner Tordenskjold.
Hver give sig i himlens vold,
hver give sig i himlens vold, og fly!

Du danskes vej til ros og magt,
sortladne hav!
Modtag din ven, som uforsagt
tør møde faren med foragt,
så stolt som du mod stormens magt,
sortladne hav!
Og rask igennem larm og spil
og kamp og sejer før mig til,
og kamp og sejer før mig til, min grav!

==LYRICS IN ENGLISH==

King Christian stood by the lofty mast
In mist and smoke;
His sword was hammering so fast,
Through Gothic helm and brain it passed;
Then sank each hostile hulk and mast,
In mist and smoke.
"Fly!" shouted they, "fly, he who can!
Who braves of Denmark's Christian,
Who braves of Denmark's Christian,
In battle?"
2
Niels Juel gave heed to the tempest's roar,
Now is the hour!
He hoisted his blood-red flag once more,
And smote upon the foe full sore,
And shouted loud, through the tempest's roar,
"Now is the hour!"
"Fly!" shouted they, "for shelter fly!
Of Denmark's Juel who can defy,
Of Denmark's Juel who can defy,
The power?"
3
North Sea! a glimpse of Wessel rent
Thy murky sky!
Then champions to thine arms were sent;
Terror and Death glared where he went;
From the waves was heard a wail, that rent
Thy murky sky!
From Denmark thunders Tordenskiol',
Let each to Heaven commend his soul,
Let each to Heaven commend his soul,
And fly!
4
Path of the Dane to fame and might!
Dark-rolling wave!
Receive thy friend, who, scorning flight,
Goes to meet danger with despite,
Proudly as thou the tempest's might,
Dark-rolling wave!
And amid pleasures and alarms,
And war and victory, be thine arms,
And war and victory, be thine arms,
My grave!

we kicked your ASS and greenland is still ours, and the reason why we "gave up" some places is because we had no interest in them anymore they were more trubble then they were good for.

Fantastisk sang - vi nordmenn ville bare ønske at Danmarks Kong Kristian hadde stått fastere om masten, slik at Norge hadde forblitt et sant land - og at de danske konge ikke frastjelte Nordmænderne Island. Færøerne, Shatland, Orkenøerne, Man og Grønland. Det hele var tidligere norsk, men det er tydeligt at det ikke gikk at styre fra det tysk-venlige Danmark. Nesten alt har jo gått tabt mens danskerne har hat hånd om de norske landområder!!!??
