1. Guhkkin davvin Dávggáid vuolde
sabmá suolggai Sámieanan.
Duottar leabbá duoddar duohkin,
jávri seabbá jávrri lahka.
čohkat čilggin, čorut čearuin
allanaddet almmi vuostái.
Šávvet jogat, šuvvet vuovddit,
cáhket ceakko stállenjárggat.
máraideaddji mearaide.

Šäävvih juuvah, šuveh vyevdih,

meendu muávroo meerâ siis.
1. Far up North 'neath Ursa Major
Gently rises Saamiland.
Mountain upon mountain.
Lake upon lake.
Peaks, ridges and plateaus
Rising up to the skies.
Gurgling rivers, sighing forests.
Iron capes pointing sharp
Out towards the stormy sea.
