Description
"Nunarput, utoqqarsuanngoravit" (Danish: Vort ældgamle land under isblinkens bavn, English: You, Our Ancient Land) is the regional anthem of Greenland, an autonomous state of the Kingdom of Denmark. With lyrics by Henning Jakob Henrik Lund and music composed by Jonathan Petersen, the anthem was officially adopted in 1916. Since 1979, "Nuna asiilasooq" (The Land of Great Length), an ethnic anthem used by the self-governing Kalaallit people, has also been officially recognised by the government.
The third verse is more often to sing after the first verse than after the second verse when it comes to short versions.
