Norwegian translation (Nynorsk)

Kom lat oss vera glade,
Kom lat oss jubla
Kom lat oss syngja for Gud. (2x)

Kom la oss gled oss no,
Dansa og syngja ut
Kom lat oss jubla saman for Gud. (2x)

Vakna, alle saman!

Vakna opp, ver med i songen
Vakna opp, ver med i dansen
Vakna opp, ver med i krinsen,
Vakna opp!
Vakna opp!
Ver med i songen.
