lyrics

Sámi lyrics:

Čiŋadan gahpiriin,
maid fuolkán duddjon lea
mun máttaráhku hápmái
fas gárvodan ođasin
dál bajidat ládjogahpira
midjiide kruvdnun
maid dolin eai udnon

Hervvošat gahpira
mii Golle-Gádjá lei
nu čáppisin kruvnnidan
ja geallun bajidan
máttaráhkkumet
áŋgirvuohta
ain doarju bargat
iešráđálažžan min

Doai láiddesteidde min
de jávkan gáldu lei
fas buhtes čáhcin gávdnon
dat ođasmahttá min
čihkkon ártnaid dat máhcaha
iežamet gáhttet árbámet várjalit


English lyrics:

I stand tall in the Sámi hat
That my sister sewed for me
A copy of our matriarch’s
Strength flows from each seam
My head holds high the horned hat
In defense of all who are small
Its power once forbidden
To our women in the old days

We admire the ladjogahpir
That once crowned Golle-Gádjá
That exalted her grandeur
Her strong will, a torch
Informing our own paths

Sisters lead the way
To the hidden spring
Where clear water flows
Refreshes our spirits
Returns long-buried seeds
Our heritage, life source
We will nurture and protect
