Lyrics

Den grønne jord er grøn fordi planter skaber liv
Naturen er det skønneste motiv
Den skal ha' lys og plads og allerhelst ha' lov at stå
I stedet for at fælde
Hver et træ og hver en nælde
Bør vi værne om det mindst lille strå
Så lad det gro
Lad det gro
Både karse og viol og bjørneklo
Lad det gro
Lad det gro
Så vil jorden vær' et bedre sted at bo
Lad det gro, lad det vokse
Bare lad det gro
Vi dækker hele verden med beton og tung cement
Og hele vores jord bli’r endevendt
Vi burde passe bedre på naturen som den er:
Utæmmelig og frodig
Det' den som vi har rod i
Og en skønne dag så ender vi jo der
Så lad det gro
Lad det gro
Både karse og viol og bjørneklo
Lad det gro
Lad det gro
Så vil jorden vær' et bedre sted at bo
Lad det gro, lad det vokse
Tag og lad det gro
Der' noget om snakken
Jeg kan høre græsset gro
Hvis man lytter med det indre øre
Der' ingenting der gi’r en større sjælero
End når jordens hjerte la’r sig høre
Lad det gro
Lad det gro
Både karse og viol og bjørneklo
Lad det gro
Lad det gro
Så vil jorden vær' et bedre sted at bo
Lad det gro, lad det vokse
Bare lad det gro

Lyrics translation

The green soil is green because plants create life
Nature is the most beautiful motive
It shall have light and space, and it shall most certainly stand
Instead of trapping
Every tree and every nettle
Should we cherish the least small straw
Then let it grow
Let it grow
Both cress and Violet and hogweed
Let it grow
Let it grow
Then the Earth will be a better place to live
Let it grow, let it grow
Just let it grow
We cover the whole world with concrete and heavy cement
And our whole earth is being raided
We should take better care of nature as it is:
Untamed and prolific
It's the one we root in
And one day we'll end up there
Then let it grow
Let it grow
Both cress and Violet and hogweed
Let it grow
Let it grow
Then the Earth will be a better place to live
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow
There's something to talk about
I can hear the grass grow
If listening with the inner ear
There's nothing that gives a bigger soul Roo
Than when the heart of the Earth hears
Let it grow
Let it grow
Both cress and Violet and hogweed
Let it grow
Let it grow
Then the Earth will be a better place to live
Let it grow, let it grow
Just let it grow
