Der Koungssång is the royal anthem of Emerstari. It is also commonly known by its incipit: "Fråm Depter av Emerska hjartar, until vår Kuing" (English: From the depths of Emerstarian hearts, unto our King). It is sung on events such as the King's birthday despite it having been originally written to honor the death of King Erik VIII Olaf in 1744. Although it was written by Emerstarian composer and Rikskongress member Hughes Erik Strandberg and published 1744, it was not adopted until 1779 by Olaf III Aleksender.

The whole song is not typically sung unless the King is present, only the first and fourth stanzas.

1 Fråm Depter av Emerska hjartar, Until vår Kuing, enkelsk sången vi geven Båste av der Nord han ar, Fur han mijt ikke resten, Når onfrihedt fortsattar! 2 O, Kuing, Majestet har dig, Dine lojalska folker, med heltemodde, Skal tappar deras behållning drifti, Å ge until dig, lila kladde Varm åg val, filt sjelven innudti! 3 O, Kuing, Majestet har dig, Skal vi vinnar allta dine krigger, Maj fiender bør som sigs påll vedlig, Å du står uppå hvorud allt dine reger, Lamnar de skal until dig! 4 O, Kuing, Majestet du har, Maj regeller du langtig Båste av der Nord han ar, Fur han mijt ikke førbli, Når onfrihedt fortsattar!

1 From the depths of Emerstarian hearts, Unto our King, a simple song we give Best of the North is he, For he wilt not rest, When injustice persists! 2 O, King, majesty have thee, Thy loyal people, with heroism, Shall tap their last energy, To give until thee, a [royal] purple robe Warm and well, beclad yourself within! 3 O, King, majesty have thee, Shall we win all thy wars, May your enemies live as your stool, For thou to stand upon all throughout thy reign, Submit shall they unto thee! 4 O, King, majesty thou have, May thou rule long Best of the North is he, For he wilt not remain, When injustice persists!
