Sang til Sandefjord


Sang til Sandefjord was written to the town of Sandefjord by Thorleif Jacobsen in the 1930s. The original music was composed by Baard Heradstveit. However, his melody was considered to be very difficult to sing. In order to revitalize the song, Rolf Hansen Stub composed an alternative melody in the early 1980s, which is the one in use today.

The melody has been played daily from the carillon of Sandefjord Kirke.

Sang til Sandefjord

Tekst: Thorleif Jacobsen

Melodi: Rolf Hansen, Stub

Sandefjord, du by blandt alle

hvor vår vei så enn kan falle.

Deg vi elsker høyst i verden

i vårt liv og all vår ferden. :/: Vakre by ved fjordens bund

alltid ungdomsfrisk og sund. :/:

By med utferd, by med evne

til mot store mål å stevne.

By med fest og by med hygge

hvor vårt livsverk vi vil bygge. :/: Vinter, sommer, høst og vår

er du byen, byen vår. :/:

Fangstmann, se det når du kommer

hjem til Norges vår og sommer,

når du stevner inn ad fjorden

til den beste by på jorden. :/: Du er byen, byen vår

nu i dag og alle år. :/:
