Lovely North
The sun's beams shine upon forest and fine fells¹See meadows, so grand, flourish with life again
Behold the forest's creatures, hear the birds' fine song
Now blooms, anew, the land with life and wealth
Preserve nature so, for now and forever
Let what's lovely live without our treacheries
Leave what we love to those who shall live on
Our fine nature, aye, how lovely it is
Chorus
Nature's gentle hand caresses sea and land
Brings strength and strengthens life's bonds
Defend the forest that grants you shelter
And love the earth that you see
See the trees' green crowns so grand and stately
The river roars through the land for our sake
In lakes filled with life that's lekking² forth
See the bitty bugs' nest in the pine's stem
How the sun glimmers over lakes come night
Hear the rain gently fall upon the ground's green rug
When old times watch over what new is sowed there
The young must now take lead with new times ahead
Hear the wind's song and the stream singing along
It's the simple things that fill us full of life
