VALBORG

What Is Greenland?
What Is Greenland??
What Is Greenland???
Why does nobody know??

An inuit majority with Danish authority
Tho home rule was awarded here in ’79
An autonomous constituent country which exists within
Denmark, yes, dependent - but less so all the time.

We are a parliamentary representative democracy
Autonomous on policy, save foreign affairs
What’s so hard for you to figure out? I don’t see what’s to fuss about -
From the top of Uummannaq hear me shout: (YOO-man-ock)

This Is Greenland!
This Is Greenland!
What Is Greenland? Come on!
How can nobody know!

I get there’s not a lot of us, sure - we’re hardly populous -
But if you get to know us, know there’s plenty to like!
We’re the world’s largest island, growing ever self-reliant
A Hydro-powered giant, tied to the earth for all time.

We’re the people of the land and ocean, heritage remains unbroken
Kayaking and harpoon throwing - still without peer!
Of the past and of the present, our culture’s hyper-relevant
So get why I lament when I hear:

Oh is that like, Iceland? NO.

It’s fine if you can’t pronounce Kalaallit Nunaat
Just call us Greenland - land where cold stuff’s pretty hot!
We will not be forgotten -
Can you hear the reindeer calling?

Greenland!

This is Greenland!
Frozen Eden!
It’s a feeling
That you oughta Know!

Don’t call us Iceland!
That isn’t nice, man!
Yes, this is Greenland!
Why does nobody
Why does nobody
Why does nobody know?
