Anthem of the Faroe Islands - Tú alfagra land mítt - Played By Elsie Honny

Faroe Islands National Anthems. Lyrics in Faroese: Tú alfagra land mítt, mín dýrasta ogn! á vetri so randhvítt, á sumri við logn, tú tekur meg at tær so tætt í tín favn. Tit oyggjar so mætar, Guð signi tað navn, sum menn tykkum góvu, tá teir tykkum sóu. Ja, Guð signi Føroyar, mítt land! Hin roðin, sum skínur á sumri í líð, hin ódnin, sum týnir mangt lív vetrartíð, og myrkrið, sum fjalir mær bjartasta mál, og ljósið, sum spælir mær sigur í sál: alt streingir, ið tóna, sum vága og vóna, at eg verji Føroyar, mítt land. Eg nígi tí niður í bøn til tín, Guð: Hin heilagi friður mær falli í lut! Lat sál mína tváa sær í tíni dýrd! So torir hon vága - av Gudi væl skírd - at bera tað merkið, sum eyðkennir verkið, ið varðveitir Føroyar, mítt land! English Translation: My land, oh most beauteous, possession most dear, becalmed in the summer, in winter snow covered, Thou drawest me to thee, embracing me near; magnificent islands, by God named beloved. The name which men gave thee when they thee discovered, Oh, God bless thee, Faroes my land. Bright gleam, which in summer makes hill-tops so fair; rough gale, which in winter drives men to despair; oh life-taking storm, oh conquest of soul, all making sweet music uniting the whole. Each hoping and trusting, inspiring us all, To guard thee, O Faroes my land. And therefore, I kneel down, to Thee God, in prayer, may peaceful my lot be, and do thou me spare, my soul cleansed; in glory; I ask Thee to bless, when I raise my banner and venture the stress. The sign of my task, be it lifted on high, To guard thee, O Faroes my land. #FaroeIslands #Europe #NationalAnthem
