Il y a un pays charmant,  qui s'étend avec de larges hêtres  près de la plage de l'est salée [ndt: la Mer Baltique] (bis).  Il ondule en collines, vallées,  il s'appelle vieux Danemark  et c'est la salle de Freya(bis).

Y étaient assis dans l'ancien temps  des géants [ndt: les Vikings] en armure,  se reposant après le combat (bis).  Puis ils reprenaient la marche  pour le malheur de leurs ennemis ;  maintenant ils reposent leurs os  derrière le menhir du tumulus(bis).

nu hvile deres bene  bag højens bautasten (bis)

Det land endnu er skønt,  thi blå sig søen bælter,  og løvet står så grønt (bis)  Og ædle kvinder, skønne mø'r  og mænd og raske svende  bebo de danskes øer (bis)

Fly, skreg de, fly, hvad flygte kan! hvo står for Danmarks Christian hvo står for Danmarks Christian i kamp? Niels Juel gav agt på stormens brag. Nu er det tid; Han hejsede det røde flag og slog på fjenden slag i slag. Da skreg de højt blandt stormens brag: Nu er det tid! Fly, skreg de, hver, som véd et skjul! hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel i strid?

Written in 1779 O, Nordhav! Glimt af Wessel brød din mørke sky; Da ty'de kæmper til dit skød; thi med ham lynte skræk og død. Fra vallen hørtes vrål, som brød den tykke sky. Fra Danmark lyner Tordenskjold; hver give sig i himlens vold hver give sig i himlens vold og fly! Du danskes vej til ros og magt, sortladne hav; Modtag din ven, som uforsagt tør møde faren med foragt så stolt som du mod stormens magt, sortladne hav! Og rask igennem larm og spil og kamp og sejer før mig til og kamp og sejer før mig til min grav!

Let’s talk about a country which is located in northern Europe ! The Denmark which is famous for its generosity with world aid. Despite being one of the smallest countries ; it gives freely to nations in need. And through their tax structure, which is inarguably one of the highest in the world (comparable to what Americans pay when they have no children and don't own homes), Denmark provides free emergency hospitalization and basic health care to all Danish citizens. And (you gotta love this!), Danes can get a college education at no cost. Denmark is one of, if not the oldest, monarchys in the world. It dates back to the Vikings.

Education is compulsory in Denmark for everyone between the ages of 6-7 and 16. Whether the education is received in a publicly provided school, in a private school or at home is a matter of individual choice, as long as accepted standards are met.

National Anthem “Der er et yndigt land” was first performed for a large gathering of Danes in 1844, and became popular quickly with the Danish people. It was adopted later that year by the Danish government as a national anthem, but not the sole national anthem. This anthem is on equal status with Kong Christian, which is both the national and royal anthem, however “Derer et yndigt land” is heard more often in the country. The original work has 12 verses, but only the first, third, fifth, and last verses are used as the national anthem.

Der er et yndigt land

Traditions in Denmark • In Denmark, great attention is paid to traditions and festivals, though without great ceremony. Many Danish traditions are based around the Christian calendar, with Christmas, Easter and St. John’s Eve (at the end of June) being some of the most important and typically spent together with family. • Other important celebrations include the carnival “Fastelavn” in February, New Year and Great Prayer Day, which was established to combine several traditional holidays into one day. There are also May Day (Labour Day) and April Fools Day, where Danes tease each other with pranks and outlandish stories. In recent years, Danes have also started to embrace both Valentine´s Day and Halloween. 21

France

< Tell me more France is a unique country with a lot of places worth visiting. So we’ve decided to make a list of the top three places to visit.

Number three is Mont Saint-Michel which is a really… Special city to say the least. It lies along the coast of Normandy. Normandy is known for its tidal waves, so building a city midst the ocean is definitely an interesting idea.

Number two is Loire Valley. Loire Valley is a popular tourist destination and rightfully so. Loire Valley is known for its beautiful scenery, splendid chateaux and seemingly unreal vineyards. It’s also the home to many old villages that are filled with history.

Number one is the city of love and light. Paris. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It’s the capital of France after all. Attracting more than 45 million annually it’s the most popular place to visit in the world.
