It goes the other way too. For example I understand most of the german anthem with limited knowledge in german language.

I often hear about germans and dutch that get up and running in Norwegian rudimentary in just 2 weeks. I think it takes a talent for languages, but the stories keep coming. The biggest help is probably just getting dumped in the country so you are exposed to the language all the time.

@@snoozieboi I think learning Germanic languages is especially easy for germans since we understand most germanic words but also have a lot of latin words which makes learning german for other Germanic speakers hard to learn, I am not sure about that tho

they sure are :)

I speak English and I can understand a good portion of it even. A lot is just common sense and context clues.

They said he wouldn't show up so people wouldn't gather.

@@trygveblacktiger597 They are cool except when they push the multiculturalism stuff, that really pisses many of us off.

@@dystrix What you mean is that this is Britten's version of our national anthem ", God save the Queen/King", but was taken and used in the Norway version.

this same rendition can be heard for the British anthem here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptORqpt_26qdoGg.html

It is British. Norway copied it for their Royal anthem. It isn't their national anthem.

@@jhibberd6290 britain copied france

The same tune is used for the Liechtenstein national anthem and until the 60s was used for the Swiss national anthem It as also used by many other countries.

Thats how i know its good

This is the Benjamin Britten arrangement for God Save The Queen. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7xhYLKcrbede4U.html

Our monarchy is very related with the English monarchy

I'm sure there is an equally epic version of God save the King out there somewhere.

@@jhibberd6290 BBC proms "God save he queen" is quite near to this amount of epicness

It makes me very happy to see the king and makes me positive for the future

Please invade us again! As we often joke about here in the north of Norway, "If the Germans had stayed a little longer, we would have had train tracks all the way to finmark!"

We are proud to call you our friends too, regardless of our past we now stand together in unity, we may not be full members of the EU yet, but we will be some day. Our peoples need to realise our potential as a united Europe

@@CrimsonsDeath12 Lol. Let me ask you how it would benefit Norway?

@@CrimsonsDeath12 Here’s something convincing I found: “Norway has high GNP per capita, and would have to pay a high membership fee. The country has a limited amount of agriculture, and few underdeveloped areas, which means that Norway would receive little economic support from the EU.”

@Dag Bakka jeg er norsk og fransk så jeg vet det.

This Melody is Austrian

When I listened to the first two words, I knew instantly Norway had stole another from storbrittania. :)

@@alexwang6207 Not quite. Interestingly, even though it was indeed composed by an englishman (though there are speculations of a french origin), this melody used to be an international «royal» melody. For quite some time as well. This melody was used in many countries all over Europe, back when «national anthems» were not dedicated to the people, but instead were written to honour their royals. It's just that Britannia, along with Lichtenstein, kept their royal anthem as their national anthem while most european countries changed theirs. If you listen to Lichtensteins national anthem you will hear this exact melody. So this is the old «kings song» that used to be the sung in Norway before «Ja vi elsker» took the spotlight as the national anthem to honour the people as well as the royals. Just felt like sharing :)

@@elli1327 Ah, thanks so much! I meant it more like a joke, but haha I learned a lot more today. :)

Alexandru-Marius Crișan Konge means King, and i think Drott means Royal, Monarch, like Re or Roi

Drott is an older general word signifying some form of power, often back in the day it was semi-affectionate. There are writings of different people with a lot of local land or just in control of different regions such as one former admiral who owned quite a bit of a larger western valley whom was referred to as "Vestlandet's største jorddrott" The Western regions largest landowner. Semi-affectionate at times but also respectful.

In modern Norwegian 'drott' is an unknown word. We would say 'konge'.

Alexandru-Marius Crișan It’s a very archaic word, which is pretty much never used. I suppose the best translation would probably be something akin to “Lord”

Thank you! Tak!;)

In which country do you live then?

Kazakhstan?

That is the most norwegian profile pic i’ve seen in a while

This song or the melody is French. Alot of monarchies in Europe uses/used this song since the 1700"s. It was the national anthem of the German Empire until the end of ww1.

That is because it is based upon the Benjamin Britten's arrangement of God Save the Queen/King in which "Proms" always sung in its finale.

The French may have played it in 1689, but the lyrics of and hymn of Britain were written beforehand. So it is debatable who was first...

@@supernightt Lyrics are the same than the original one. They were written by Madame de Brinon, supérieure de la Maison royale de Saint-Louis,

@@Raisonnance. Grand Dieu, sauvez le Roi = Domine salvum fac regem = completely different tune.

@@ace5065 Ja

They should, i would love to see a Norway-England Football match, and they play this.

I like it the way it is now. We have an anthem for the country, and the King.

While I don't like "Ja vi elsker", I would rather bring back "Sønner av Norge" if we were to get a new anthem. Kongesangen should remain a royal anthem.

@@drehdraalnis9258 and then Norway gets absolutely wrecked by England. It’d be fun tho

Although it adapted Sir Benjamin Britten's 1960s arrangement for the British national anthem, that's why this version is more awesome, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7yXd92X0LOpgGg.html

Yes. apparantly they were very lazy

The King of Norway is in family with the royal family of Great Britain. King Harald V of Norway is second cousin of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. That is why they use the same royal anthem. Royal anthem: / The honors music for a person, office or rank is music played on formal or ceremonial occasions in the presence of the person, office-holder, or rank-holder, especially by a military band. The head of state in many countries is honored with a prescribed piece of music; in some countries the national anthem serves this purpose, while others have a separate royal, presidential, or, historically, imperial anthem. The national anthem serves as the national anthem of Norway while the royal anthem serves as an honor piece for the head of state.

@@Cta2006 Many thanks! In the meantime I had already found on the internet that there seems to be a ROYAL anthem in Norway (which is the same as God Save The Queen), and also a NATIONAL anthem with a completely different melody. So 2 DIFFERENT anthems in Norway! But you have explained it very well! I didn't know that the king of Norway is a cousin of the queen of England, so I have learned something new! Thanks and greetings!

They have different functions.

do you think we don't realize that it's the same melody?

This melody has been used by a number of countries in europe.

Yes, but it depends on what dialect. This is Eastern dialect (regarded as standard), but I speak more North-Western dialect (Regarded as more native). I also had a mix of Icelandic since I’m 1/3 Icelandic.

Almost every country in europe has their own version of this song

It is literally an English arrangement, by the composer Benjamin Britten. Look it up on KZfaq- there is a version of God Save the Queen to it at the last night of the proms on KZfaq.
