English:
Cold and cloaked in an icy frieze,
your roaring storm and whispering breeze;
my rugged country, sage, and strong,
You call me home where I belong.
For when we feel your North breezes blow,
You call us where we long to go,
Dancing and singing us home to the silent snow.
In coldest winter, darkest night,
Your fjording arms they hold me tight;
Your glittering mountains, stormy sea,
They dwell forever inside of me!
And when we feel your North breezes...
Forever North you call me home,
And from the North I’ll never roam.
My wandering spirit has a home,
the North is my home!
Coalblack soil with a blanket of white,
Your night ablaze with ribbons of light,
My home with welcoming glow from inside,
Your sheltering sky, endlessly wide.
Oh when we feel your North breezes...
For when I feel your North breezes blow,
You call me where I long to go,
Dancing and singing me home to the silent snow.

Norwegian:
Kald og brebygd, dekket av is
Du brøler storm og hvisker bris
Lille, store Svalbard*, du er mann
Du løfter, og tar meg som ingen andre kan
For ja, vi lengter nord etter deg
Rop oss hjem og vis oss vei
Dans med oss, gi oss ditt sanne, nakne jeg.
I snøsludd, redsel, kuling og svart
Viser du muskler, holder meg hardt
Du har istapper i skjegget ditt
Og du dunker stort og vilt i hjertet mitt
For ja, vi lengter nord etter deg...
For ja, vi lengter nord dit vi bor
Rop oss hjem, bruk, store ord
For ja, vi lengter nord dit vi bor, i nord.
Kullsvart inni, vårhvit utenpå
Men vakrest i natt og vinterblå
Du er alt jeg vil ha i en boble av tid
Min lyst, din himmel, uendelig vid
For ja, vi lengter nord etter deg...
For ja, jeg lengter nord etter deg
Rop meg hjem og vis meg vei
Dans med meg, gi meg ditt sanne, nakne jeg.
