Here you will find the Poem Sung for norway's riflemen of poet Bjornstjerne Bjornson
Fly the banner, fly the banner! For our freedom fight! 'Neath the banner, 'neath the banner, Riflemen unite! Graybeard in the Storting Gives his vote for right and truth, Rifle-voice supporting Of our armèd youth. Music runeful Ring out tuneful Bullets sent point-blank, Fiery coursing, Freedom forcing Way to royal rank; They from silent valleys To the Storting's rallies Bring the clear 'Rah! Rah!' And there clamors o'er us Loud the rifle chorus, Piercing and repeated: 'Rah! Rah! Rah-rah, rah-rah, rah-rah, rah-rah.' As the lingering echo rattles, Listens sure our Mother Norway, That her sons can go the war-way, Fight her freedom's future battles.
