Danmark, du kornblonde datter by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
1. Danmark, du kornblonde datter af den mandlige muld og det moderlige hav,

Vi hilser dig fra havets og muldens rige favn, vi bringer vore sejre,
vor gernings fulde gavn, moder, til ære for dit navn!
2. Danmark, du sangmilde søster til det solrige syd og det vinterlige nord,
vokset her, hvor isbjerge smelted, da de mødtes med våren og vælted:

About Danmark, du kornblonde datter
Carl Nielsen’s Danmark, du kornblonde datter is a patriotic four-part song for SATB choir, sung in Danish. The text paints an evocative picture of Denmark, celebrating its connection to the land and sea, and its strength forged through hardship. It addresses the nation as a maternal figure, a daughter of the earth and sea, born under vast skies. The lyrics speak of bringing achievements and the best of what has been learned and understood, offering them as a tribute. This piece captures a deep sense of national pride and resilience, reflecting the country’s character and spirit through its powerful imagery and direct address.
