A distant power draws the map and names the price, as if land and people were goods to be traded. Greenland answers with one word that carries a whole nation: Namminersorneq, the will to stand on your own. Self-determination is not up for negotiation.
Lyrics
Icebergs adrift in a sea of greed
An empire casts for the mineral seed
Rare earth buried beneath the frost
A nation's worth by owners tossed
They drew the map, they named the price
Security spoken as the wolf speaks twice
IKKE TIL SALG! Namminersorneq — the will to stand
IKKE TIL SALG! No strangers carving up our land
We rose from sea-ice, we know the cold
Not buyers, not masters, not bought, not sold
Envoy arrives with a velvet tongue
Courtesies masking a claims register strung
Nuuk resists in the parliament hall
Self-determination — not for trade at all
They drew the map, they named the price
Security spoken as the wolf speaks twice
IKKE TIL SALG! Namminersorneq — the will to stand
IKKE TIL SALG! No strangers carving up our land
We rose from sea-ice, we know the cold
Not buyers, not masters, not bought, not sold
Once shackled to a distant crown
Now courted by a newer throne
Two flags divided, one people stand
Between the eagle and the northern stone
Claim. Court. Coerce. Consume. Claim. Court. Coerce. Consume.
IKKE TIL SALG! Namminersorneq — the will to stand
IKKE TIL SALG! No strangers carving up our land
We rose from sea-ice, we know the cold
Not buyers, not masters, not bought, not sold
Ikke til salg... ikke til salg...
The glacier remembers every hand that reached
And buries what the empires taught
