Heimr Árnadair (Home Valley of Eagles)[Old Norse]Verðug dróttning stórHjarta af gulli skínaKronum þik med vánum, ást ok trúFagra, grýttur land, heimr ÁrnadalrFylgið dróttningu ljóssins

VuelieNa na na heia na na hi ja na Na heia heia na ja no a ha na hei o no a na

No a no no a haia no no a no no a haia noNo a no no a no

Vuelie is the South Sámi word for “a yoik”. Yoik is both a type of Saami song, and a unique vo-cal style used to perform this (often referred to as “chanting”). "The syllables in the song have no linguistic meaning. They are just said to be part of the vocal style." - Frode Fjellheim. [from http://frozen.wikia.com/wiki/Vuelie]
