While the short version with three verses is already great, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja,_vi_elsker_dette_landet#Lyrics_and_literal_translation full version]] talks about almost a ''millennium'' of Norwegian history, bringing up SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome after SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome along the way. In the end, the Norwegians [[EarnYourHappyEnding win their freedom after enduring plenty of hardship]] and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments forgive their former enemies]] -- but they're still prepared to defend their country should the need arise.
