LYRICS & TRANSLATION

Enkel tone, to små ord: Sámiid ædnan, samisk jord
Kom som vindpust ifra nord, ifra nord, Sámiid ædnan
Kan et krav få mjukar form: Sámiid ædnan, Sameland
Vokste sæ fra bris tel storm, bris tel storm, Sámiid ædnan
Framførr tinget der dem satt, Sámiid ædnan, Sámiid ædnan
Hørtes joiken dag og natt, Sámiid ædnan
Framførr tinget der dem satt, oj…
Hørtes joiken dag og natt, Sámiid ædnan
Joik har større kraft enn krutt, Sámiid ædnan
Førr en joik tar aldri slutt, oh… Sámiid ædnan
Førr en joik tar aldri ѕlutt, Sámiid ædnаn
