There is an English version, yes.

It's ugly compared to the Norwegian version, though.

Yes, we love with fond devotion

This our land that looms

Rugged, storm-scarred o'er the ocean,

With her thousand homes.

Love her, in our love recalling

Those who gave us birth.

And old tales which night, in falling,

Brings as dreams to earth

Norseman, whatsoe'er thy station,

Thank thy God, Whose power

Willed and wrought the land's salvation

In her darkest hour.

All our mothers sought with weeping

And our sires in fight,

God has fashioned, in His keeping,

Till we gained our right.

Yes,we love with fond devotion

This our land that looms

Rugged, storm-scarred o'er the ocean,

With her thousand homes.

And, as warrior sires have made her

Wealth and fame increase,

At the call we too will aid her,

Armed to guard her peace.
