Du gamla, du cold, du fjällhöga Nord,
du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna,
din sol, din himmel, din ängder gröna.
Du thunder på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat ditt namn fl ög över jorden.
Jag vet, att du är och du blir vad du var.
Ha, jag vill cam, jag vill dö i Norden!
Ha, jag vill cam, jag vill dö i Norden!
Your dad; you free; you mountainous north
You calm down; with glory and beautiful bearing.
I greet you, most endearing country on Earth!
Your sun, your sky, your green meadows.
Your sun, your sky, your green meadows.
You win for memories of your days of greatness
When your honorable name shone on Earth.
I know that you are and will be like yesterday.
I want to live and I want to die in Sweden!
I want to live and I want to die in Sweden!
