Genius English Translations - Johanne Holmedahl Til Dovre Faller English Translation Lyrics

[Chorus]
Join the party
Throw on your suit
The seventeenth of may!
Hands in the air for
The seventeenth of may!
Jump up and down, it is the
The seventeenth of may!
Never forget why
The seventeenth of may!
What it's good for
The seventeenth of may!
Yell it like in the halls of Eidsvoll:
Agreement and faith until Dovre falls!

[Verse 1]
Let me tell about Norway's history
About the constitution law makers and everything they did
They sat together all hundred and twelwe
And made the law for Norway hеre on - Eidsvoll!
For four hundred years wе were lead by danes
Then we lost a war and that created difficulties
The kielfred gave us to Sweden as a gift
Norway could just go ahead and bow and thank
But "NO!", said some men in 1814
This is the year of the bold kind
It's enough now, don't just sit there and sleep (No!)
Let's rather make our own law (Yes!)
[Chorus]
Join the party
Throw on your suit
The seventeenth of may!
Hands in the air for
The seventeenth of may!
Jump up and down, it is the
The seventeenth of may!
Never forget why
The seventeenth of may!
What it's good for
The seventeenth of may!
Yell it like in the halls of Eidsvoll:
Agreement and faith until Dovre falls!

Until Dovre falls!
Shout it out!
Until Dovre falls!

[Verse 2]
The men were together for constitution party
From south and east and over from the west
But Northern Norway didn't make it to this song
Because the deadline was too short and the way was too long
No women came along - you can criticize that
But the women weren't even allowed politics!
What? That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard
Yes, i know. It's all nonsense!

We have to govern ourselves!
Was many peoples ambition
Others wanted in on a Union with Aweden
It was Wedel, Collet, Konow, Falsen
The last man took the lead in the waltz
Then they wrote a constitution, were happy and moody
Because Norway was to be a democracy
Until now the king had the head say
Now there will be democracy - Now we will decide!

In the end, the men would seperate as friends
And show off social antennas
They yelled loudly in the halls of Eidsvoll:
"Agreement and faith until Dovre falls"

[Chorus]
Join the party
Throw on your suit
The seventeenth of may!
Hands in the air for
The seventeenth of may!
Jump up and down, it is the
The seventeenth of may!
Never forget why
The seventeenth of may!
What it's good for
The seventeenth of may!
Yell it like in the halls of Eidsvoll:
Agreement and faith until Dovre falls!
Until Dovre falls!
Shout it out!
Until Dovre falls!

[Bridge]
Norway! Happy birthday!
And everyone sing:
(National anthem)
Yes, we love this country as it rises
You are ours, you are our, old Norway
We want to dress you in red, white and blue!
Until Dovre falls!
Shout it out!
Until Dovre falls!

[Chorus]
Join the party
Throw on your suit
The seventeenth of may!
Hands in the air for
The seventeenth of may!
Jump up and down, it is the
The seventeenth of may!
Never forget why
The seventeenth of may!
What it's good for
The seventeenth of may!
Yell it like in the halls of Eidsvoll:
Agreement and faith until Dovre falls!
