I have to say it's rather beautiful for being a national anthem. It's not a march. I quite captures the Scnadinavian melancholy. It is said to be a Finnish song from the beginning, though.
There is also 'Värmlandsvisan', or 'Ack Värmeland du sköna.' It's a song from the county I'm from. I am not known to be very patriotic about my country, but I love my home county. I didn't find one of those wonderful folk versions, so you'll have to stick to Monica Zetterlund, I think accompanied by Bill Evans.

A lovely song! My hero NHOP played a few Danish folk songs. My favourite is "I SKOVENS DYBE STILE RO"
