【1 of 2 Greenland Natl Anthems: Our Country, Who's Become So Old or You Our Ancient Land (1912)】

Henrik Lund (1875–1948)

Our country, which has become so old your head is all covered with white hair.

Always held us, your children, in your bosom and gave us the riches of your coasts.

As middle children in the family we blossomed here Kalaallit,

we want to call ourselves before your proud and honourable head.

With a burning desire to develop what you have to give, renewing,

removing your obstacles of our desire to move forward, forward.

The way of matured societies is our zealous goal to attain;

the effect of speech and letters we long to behold.

Humbleness is not the course, Kalaallit wake up and be proud!

A dignified life is our goal; couragously take a stand.

【绿地岛国歌第一首：《我们的家乡多么古老》(1916)】

家族统治者·树林(1875生—1948卒)

我们的家乡，古老得白发苍苍。

富饶的港湾，是您呵护儿女的胸膛。

家庭的忠实儿女，我们在绿地岛成长。

在您光彩面前，我们立下誓言。

热切地把您的赏赐发扬，铲除障碍不断向前、向前。

富裕社会的道路，是我们热烈的愿望。

言语和文字的理想都一一实现。不甘落后，绿地岛要傲立于世上！

勇敢地屹立，富裕的生活是我们的向往！

【注】尽管绿地岛是世界上最大的岛屿，但迄今人们对它仍然知之甚少，岛上只有大约15%的地方全年不结冰。绿地岛隶属丹麦王国三个自治国家之一，海角市位于其西南海岸，人口约为16,000—18,000，不仅是全球最北的首都和真正的北极珠宝，而且还是通往广阔峡湾的交通要道。与绿地岛大多数地方一样，它以色彩缤纷的木制房屋、原始山脉、瀑布冰山而闻名，而其历史可以追溯到1728年，当时来自丹麦的路德“人民战士”传教士“神慈·迷人”(Hans Egede)抵达这个被称为好望角的地方，先后建立了贸易站和救世主教会，慢慢打开了北极土著(Inuit)和欧洲佬之间日益交融的大门。

地球上99%以上的淡水源于覆盖绿地岛和南极洲的两片冰原，绿地冰原覆盖了绿地岛约79%的土地——面积是英格兰的14倍，最厚处冰深可达10,500英尺/3,200米。

绿地岛建筑五颜六色，最初根据用途涂漆——黄色代表医院，蓝色代表渔场，红色代表商业住宅，黑色代表警察局，绿色代表电话公司。如今，建筑物外表依旧艳丽，但业主不再遵循颜色编码系统。
