@DarthForest
A really nice piece, so I give a translation to Polish (probably correctly)
Pijemy za Kraj.
Czy słyszysz góry wołające wysoko nad dolinami.
Wszyscy wołają „Na zdrowie” w swoich chatkach i barach.
Czy słyszałeś wystrzał strzelby tak jak w zeszłym roku.
Z darniowych dachów śpiewamy jednogłośnie.
I wszyscy śpiewają:
Wypijemy za Hemsedal
Wypijemy za Trysil
Wypijemy za Hafjell
I wypijemy za Kraj.
Wypijemy za Hemsedal
Wypijemy za Trysil
Wypijemy za Hafjell
I wypijemy za Kraj.
Wypijemy za Hemsedal
Wypijemy za Trysil
Wypijemy za Hafjell
I wypijemy za Kraj.
Wypijemy za Hemsedal
Wypijemy za Trysil
Wypijemy za Hafjell
I wypijemy za Kraj.

Do you hear the mountain calling high above valleys?
Everyone is cheering in cabins and bars.
Did you hear the shotgun bang like last year?
From sod roofs we sing in unison
and everyone's singing:
We'll have a drink for Hemsedal,
Drink for Trysil
Drink for Hafjell
A drink for the country.
We'll have a drink for Hemsedal,
