Arlgiht I've been driknign a litl' and decigded to get nto som patriotisch luv-show-letting!8!-!!
There is a lovely land
it stands with broad beeches
near the salty eastern strand
It winds itself in hill, valley,
it is called old Denmark
and it is Freja's hall
There sat in former times,
the armour-suited warriors,
rested from conflict
Then they set out to slay the foe,
now their bones are resting
behind the mound's menhir
That country is still lovely,
because the sea waves so blue frolic,
and the foliage stands so green
And noble women, beautiful maidens,
and men and brisk swains
inhabit the Danes' islands
Our language is strong and soft,
Our faith is pure and purified
And courage is not dead.
And each a Danish is just free,
Each faithfully obeys his/her king,
But slavery is over.
A friendly South in the North
Is the green Dane-realm,
Your clad ax-clad Earth.
And the ship walks itsproud way.
Where the plow and the keel furrows
There hope does not fail.
Our Danish flag is beautiful
The fans along the Sea
With Flag Red Bay.
And always has his white Colour
Your Holy Cross in blood,
O Flag of Denmark in battle.
Pure is the Danes's Spirit
It hates Prejudice's fetters,
And fascination's ties.
For friendship open, cold for mockery
Beats the Jute's honest heart,
For girl, country and king.
I swap Denmark not,
For Russia's winter deserts,
For Southern May Flowers.
We do not know plague and serpents
Not the melancholy of the west
Not the rage of the east.
Our time does not stand in reek,
It has raised his voice
Of Science and Arts.
A Cultist I Am.
Not Bragi's and not Mímir's cry
Aroused in equal stretch
A better hope for the future.
Not large, our native soil,
However soars among cities
Your proud Copenhagen.
To better City did the sea not come
Yes no river in the valley;
From Trondhiem and to Rome.
With holy remand
Preserve you, All-father!
Our old dynasty.
King Fredrik resembles Fredegod;
Where is a better prince
Of better hero blood?
Hail king and fatherland!
Hail every a Dane-citizen,
who works, what he can
Our old Denmark shall endure,
as long as the beech reflects
its top in the blue wave
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
Seems a correct translation although part of it is a bit clunky and probably have better translations. Also if there is an English word meaning king, but isn't king and is archaic then it should replace king in 'Hail king and fatherland'. I only checked the four stanzas I have memorised so I cannot vouch for the other 8 being correctly translated though; it would take too long if I am to go look it up. Though they appear currect. And I do remember the Fredegod part for instance.
And now I have the national anthem on my brain...
Also just noticed from your translation that we sing 'vort' (our) and not 'og' (and) in the last stanza. (Our old Denmark...); you cannot hear that when it is sung.
Also God save th Queen is more British. If anything you would want to use 'God preserve Denmark' which is what the queen---and before her her father king Frederik IX---always says at the end of her new years speech which almost everybody watches.

Day 1
There starts going rumors about that Dr. Bombay actually isn't who he says he is; the rumors originate from a soldier who claims to actually be female! The officers naturally wants to find her, but the soldiers are surpricingly reluctant to give her up. Apparently she slept with Malin last night and saw Dr. Bombay shoot him. That Danish India was sold to England a while ago shoud have made his lie obvious. So you decide to put him under pressure and after some serious pressure he starts singing Austrian national anthem Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser...
You start singing Der er et yndigt Land and then you have Dr. Bombay executed by fireing squad.
(Sorry wasn't able to find a version with all 12 stanzas, because these days only 4 are sung---at most. This is those 4 stanzas---the first 3 and the last one---and it appears to be the new years eve singing---i.e. the singing done just after 24:00 on the night between the 31st of December and the 1st of January.
Dr. Bombay turned out to be a well informed brutal Austrian soldier; on his way to the firing squad he bashed in the head of Mathilde Kramer; an inspiring leader and a female soldier.

Night 2
The night appeas to go well, but in the morning you find out that Abelone Mikkelsen has been killed while sleeping; besides being a picturesque lass she also slept really lightly though so she trusted a knife into the chest of one of her attackers. Karl Jørgensen lies dead next to her with a knife in his chest; he turned out to be a Prussian soldier with the ability to go underground.

No. We have two words for king. Konge and drot. Drot is rather archaic and not really used anymore, but is used in the national anthem. Both words are at least 1000 years old. The word for queen---dronning---is a corruption of drotning meaning female drot---i.e. the wife of a drot.
The new forum cannot downsize pictures; sorry. Complain to whoever coded the forum.
