You ancient, you free, you mountainous north You quiet, you joyful beauty! I greet you, loveliest land upon Earth, Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes.
You are enthroned on memories of great olden days, When honoured your name flew across the Earth, I know that you are and remain what you were, Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
I forever want to serve you, my beloved land, fidelity until death I want to swear to you. Your right I shall defend with mind and with hand, the glorious ones carry your banner high.
With God I shall fight for home and for hearth, for Sweden, the beloved mother soil. Exchange you, I won't for anything in this world No, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
National anthem of Sweden ("Song to the North")
At international sporting events, only the first verse is usually sung. Part one of the Swedish national anthem (verses 1 and 2) dates back to 1844 and the poet Richard Dybeck.
Only much later, in 1910, the verses 3 and 4 by Louise Ahlén were added. The melody is based on an old Swedish folk song.
Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna! Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord, Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
Du alter, du freier, du hoher Norden. Du stiller, du freudenreicher Schöner! Ich grüße dich, lieblichstes Land der Erde, Deine Sonne, deinen Himmel, deine grünen Wiesen.
Sa vana, vaba ja mõõtmatu Põhjamaa oma sõnatus ja karges ilus! Ma tervitan Sind, kauneim paik maa peal, tervitan Sinu päikest, taevast, aasu haljaid! Tervitan Sinu päikest, taevast, aasu haljaid!
Sä jylhä ja ponteva Pohjolanmaa, sä hiljainen riemun kehto parhain, sa armahin seutu, min kohdata saa. Maa kukkanurmein, koskein, tähtitarhain.
Þú gamla, þú frjálsa, þú fjallkrýnda fold þú fagra, þú gleðiríka væna! Ég heilsa þér ástkæra, ylhýra mold. Með akra þína, sól og skóga græna. Með akra þína, sól og skóga græna.
Du gamle, Du frie, Du bjergrige nord, Du tavse, Du muntre skønhed. Jeg hilser Dig, du dejligste land på jord, Din sol, Din himmel, Dine grønne enge. Din sol, Din himmel, Dine grønne enge.
Du gamle, Du frie, Du fjellhøye nord, Du stille, du livlige skjønnhet! Jeg hilser Deg, vakreste land på jord, Din sol, Din himmel, Dine grønne enger, Din sol, Din himmel, Dine grønne enger.
