Sámi soga lávlla (English: Song of the Sami Family/People) is the anthem of the Sámi people. The text was written by Isak Saba, and Arne Sørli composed the music. Originally a poem, it was first published in the Sámi newspaper Saǥai Muittalægje on 1 April 1906.[1][2] Sámi soga lávlla has been translated into most of the Sámi languages.

History of the anthem

Isak Saba

The poem Sámi soga lávlla was written by Norwegian Sámi Isak Saba, a Norwegian school teacher and a researcher of Sami folklore and politics from Unjárga Municipality.[3] In 1906, he became the first Sami to be elected to the Norwegian Parliament (he was a deputy in 1906–1912). The poem was first published on 1 April 1906 on front page of the first issue of Sagai Muittalægje, a Northern Sami language Norwegian newspaper.[1][3][4]

In August 1986, during the 13th Sámi Conference in Åre, Sweden, Sámi soga lávlla was declared the national anthem of the Sami. The music was written for the poem by Norwegian composer Template:Ill, and in 1992 it was approved as the score for the national anthem at the 15th Sámi Conference in Helsinki, Finland.[1][2]

Lyrics:

1. Far up North 'neath Ursa Major
Gently rises Saamiland.
Mountain upon mountain.
Lake upon lake.
Peaks, ridges and plateaus
Rising up to the skies.
Gurgling rivers, sighing forests.
Iron capes pointing sharp
Out towards the stormy sea.

2. Winter time with storm and cold
Fierce blizzards.
Saami kin, with hearts and souls
Their lands do love.
Moonlight for the traveller,
Living Aurora flickering,
Grunt of reindeer heard in groves of birch,
Voices over lakes and open grounds,
Swish of sled on winter road.

3. Summer's sun casts golden hues
On forests, seas and shores.
Fishermen in gold, swaying
With the golden seas, golden lakes.
Silver Saami rivers gurgling
'round sparkling poles, shining oars.
Singing, men float down
Rapids, great and small,
And waters calm.

4. Saamiland's people
With unbending strength
Defeated killing enemies, bad trades,
Sly and evil thieves.
Hail thee, tough Saami kin!
Hail thee, root of freedom!
Never was there battle,
Never brother's blood was spilt
Amongst the peaceful Saami kin.

5. Our ancestors long ago
Trouble makers did defeat.
Let us, brothers, also resist
Staunchly our oppressors.
Oh, tough kin of the sun’s sons,
Never shall you be subdued
If you heed your golden Saami tongue,
Remember the ancestors' word.
The Saamiland for the Saami!
