In base alle informazioni fornite qui da Pål Eivind Nes, la versione danese (di autore per ora sconosciuto) risale al 1956, anno nel quale fu anche registrata. Sempre secondo Pål Eivind Nes, il compositore danese Otto Hübertz Mortensen (1907-1986) avrebbe composto la melodia per la poesia di Nordahl Grieg nel 1956, vale a dire nel 20° anniversario della poesia stessa; ma questo contrasta con tutte le fonti (si veda ad esempio qui), che indicano il 1952 come anno di composizione. Più probabilmente, Otto Mortensen compose la melodia originariamente per la versione norvegese; l'adattamento in danese è praticamente naturale, data l'estrema vicinanza tra le due lingue.
According to the info given here by Pål Eivind Nes, the Danish version (by an author still unknown) dates back to 1956, and was recorded in the same year. As Pål Eivind Nes stated in another note, the Danish composer Otto Hübertz... (Continues)

"The song has never been translated into Danish!!!
It has always been published in Norwegian in Denmark."
CCG/AWS Staff:
Yes, I know, there's no need of singing a Norwegian song in Danish. The two languages are nearly the same. But I found a Danish translation of this song and AWS/CCG hosts any translation in any language of any song, even if it has never been published. This is one of the founding principles of this website. Anyway, Holger, thanks for correcting the Danish translation: as it is made by Danes, I was sure it was correct. I should always check any translation. Anyway, this page has been totally restructured with inclusion of your precious notes (that I have personally translated into Italian and English), and of Rod Sinclair's English version. Videoclips of the song in Norwegian and English have also been included.

Contrariamente a quanto affermato a suo tempo dal nostro amico Holger Terp, la canzone non è stata soltanto tradotta in danese, ma anche cantata, nella sua lingua materna, dal famoso cantautore e rockstar Kim Larsen. Presumibilmente, l'autore della traduzione è Kim Larsen stesso:
Despite of what our friend Holger Terp said some time ago, not only has this song been translated into Danish, but also performed by the famous Danish folksinger and rockstar Kim Larsen in his native language. The author of the Danish translation may be Kim Larsen himself:
Da en:wikipedia / From en:wikipedia :
"The song has also been recorded by Danish rock musician Kim Larsen, first on his album 231045-0637 from 1979.

La canzone è talmente famosa in Norvegia (e nei paesi scandinavi tutti) che è stata anche eseguita strumentalmente nella Cattedrale di Oslo, il 24 luglio 2011, in occasione della messa solenne in suffragio per le vittime degli attentati del 22 luglio 2011 nella stessa Oslo e sull'isola di Utøya, compiuti dal nazista xenofobo Anders Behring Breivik:
Il 21 agosto 2011, durante la cerimonia solenne alla Oslo Spektrum, a un mese dalle stragi di luglio, è stata cantata da Sissel Kyrkjebø:

The first Danish version was recorded in 1956, later made into a number 1 hit by Kim Larsen in 1979.
Pål Eivind Nes 2017/5/27 - 21:58
Well, not even the first Danish version. The melody was written by Danish composer Otto Mortensen in 1956, on the 20th anniversary of the poem.
Pål Eivind Nes 2017/5/27 - 21:59
Thanks to Pål Eivind Nes for his precious historical remarks on the Danish version of this important poem and song. We seized the occasion not only to improve the Danish part of this page, but also to update the entire page (f.ex. by adding or changing missing videos, new translations etc.). Just a couple of questions for Pål Eivind Nes: Otto Mortensen's music is generally given as composed in 1952. Is this correct or should we backdate it to 1956? Then, who did record the Danish version first in 1956?
Thanks in advance!

Til Ungdommen (Deutsch: Für die Jugend), auch Kringsatt av Fiender, ist ein Gedicht des norwegischen Schriftstellers und Journalisten Nordahl Grieg aus dem Jahr 1936.

Frisian version from fy.wikipedia
Til ungdommen ('Oan de jonkheid'), ek bekind as Kringsatt av fiender ('Omkringe troch fijannen'), is in gedicht fan de Noarske dichter en sjoernalist Nordahl Grieg (1 novimber 1902 - 2 desimber 1943). De Deenske komponist Otto Mortensen (1907-1986) foarseach yn 1952 it gedicht fan in meldij. Withoe folle muzikanten en muzykgroepen hawwe dit liet opnommen yn harren repertoire. Nei de oanslach yn Noarwegen op 22 july 2011 waard it liet útfierd by ferskate betinkingsgearkomsten.
Yn 1936 skreau Grieg de tekst op fersyk fan de Noarske politikus Trond Hegna (1898 – 1992) by gelegenheid fan in feest fan de Noarske studinteferiening Det Norske Studentersamfund. De tekst is basearre op it útbrekken fan de Spaanske Boargeroarloch yn july 1936. It gedicht ropt op ta in freedsumme reaksje op it geweld dat Jeropa te wachtsjen stie, mar fûn yn dy tiid net folle oanklank.... (Continues)

A poem by Nordahl Grieg
Musica: Otto Hübertz Mortensen (1907-1986) [1952]
Music: Otto Hübertz Mortensen (1907-1986) [1952]
Interpretazione di Lavrans Sørensen
Performed by Lavrans Sørensen
Tekst af den norske forfatter, journalist og publicist Nordahl Grieg (1902-1943), skrevet i 1936 som en kommentar til borgerkrigen i Spanien. Musik af komponisten Otto Mortensen (1907-1986), 1952. Ejnar Kampp noterer i omslaget til De mørke fugle, at han læste digtet første gang i et illegalt tidsskrift i 1944-45. Desværre beretter han ikke hvilket han læste det i.
Digtet Til ungdommen er omtalt i det legale tidsskrift Ny ungdoms leder i nr. 2, 1941, hvilket tyder på en tidligere bogtrykt publicering af sangen. Desværre er første nummer af Ungdommens Fredsudvalgs tidsskrift bortkommet fra foreningens arkiv, så det vides ikke med sikkerhed, om foreningen rent faktisk... (Continues)
