Here is a very direct word-by-word translation into English of Henrik Lund's Qitornat saperasi. It was first printed in 1913:
Our-land because-you-have-grown-very-old
your-head it-is-full of-grey-hair
your-children you-have-always-embraced-them
yoy-have-given-them your-cost's things
And here a word-by-word translation of Jonathan Petersen's Sineriak from the same year:
a-land that-is-roomy
Greenlanders we-have-it
it-all mountainous
lots-of-fiords its-coast
they-make-it-a-good-place-to-live
the-whole its-coast
islands they-lie-in-front-of-it
