The song was written by Greenlandic organist and piano teacher Jonathan Petersen, probably during or after a stay in Denmark in 1910–1911, during which he passed his organ exam with distinction. It was originally set to the tune of the Danish national anthem, "Der er et yndigt land". Petersen wrote an original composition for the song around 1920, which retained the repetition of the third line of each verse, as in "Der er et yndigt land".[2]
In 1979, when home rule was granted to Greenland, the song was adopted as a national anthem, alongside "Nunarput, utoqqarsuanngoravit". In 1985, it was translated into Danish by theologian Mads Lidegaard. Both the Greenlandic and Danish versions have been published in the Højskolesangbogen.[2]
I Et vældigt klippeland fik Grønlands folk i eje 𝄆 med fjeld fra strand til strand. 𝄇 Og ved de dybe fjordes vand var godt at bo og bygge og øers perlerække bandt et bånd langs kystens rand.
II Det er en lykke og en lyst for dem der er på rejse 𝄆 langs landets lange kyst, 𝄇 at strejfe om fra syd til nord og møde nye venner hvor gæstfrihed og glæde stor i lave hytter bor.
III I høje fjeldes ly hvor fjorden møder havet 𝄆 de bygged bygd og by. 𝄇 De levede med kunst og flid af havets rige vande – fra nu og indtil evig tid er det kalaallits land.
I Land of greath length, That's what the Kalaallit have as a country, among entire mountains, The many fjords on the coast, well suited as a country, and the coast is speckled with islands.
II It is so beautiful when you journey the entire coast. Up north and down south, there is a meeting place for people and wherever you have land there is a place to live.
III At the feet of her mountains and the mouths of her fjords her inhabitants meet each other. The sea is their domain which they treat so well It belongs to the Kalaallit until the end of time!
