(English lyrics cover of Title: Erik Röde - Frjálst Grænland)

Lyrics English translation:
Erik Röde sailed west where the cold sea broke,
Found green valleys cut by stone and ice.
He named the land for promise, not for truth,
Set hearth and law where none had stood,
Bound fate to soil with oath and steel.

His son sailed farther where the sun fell low,
Past known waters, past remembered fear.
There lay Vinland, rich with wood and vine,
A shore not claimed by crown nor cross,
Seen first by eyes that came in silence.

We stand on ancient ground by blood-bound law,
Our fathers’ mark still cuts the stone.
No crown across the ocean speaks here,
No office born of later days commands this soil.
If forced to choose, we choose the grave with honor,
Guarding our past until the last breath is spent.

Erik stood fast when storms and men pressed in,
Held Greenland firm against hunger and blade.
He kept the Thing, the fields, the homes,
Not by mercy, but by will and order,
A land defended because it was taken.

Long after, voices rose from unborn worlds,
Claiming past shores with future words.
But land is not owned by time unseen,
Nor by those who never stood there,
What was found and held remains so.

We stand on ancient ground by blood-bound law,
Our fathers’ mark still cuts the stone.
No crown across the ocean speaks here,
No office born of later days commands this soil.
If forced to choose, we choose the grave with honor,
Guarding our past until the last breath is spent.
