Lyrics: Sámiid Ædnan 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 slutt, Sámiid Ædnan English translation: Lapland A simple tune, two small words: Lapland, Sámi earth It came with the wind from north, from north, Lapland Can a demand get any softer: Lapland, the land of the Sámi people It grew from a breeze to a storm, from a breeze to a storm, Lapland In front of the parliament where they sat, Lapland, Lapland The yoik was heard day and night, Lapland In front of the parliament where they sat, oj... The yoik was heard day and night, Lapland Yoik is stronger than gunpowder, Lapland Because a yoik never ends, oh... Lapland Because a yoik never ends, Lapland lyrics from diggiloo.net
