Barndomshemmet [English translation]

Where the corn fields bows before the wind

And where dark green spruce forest is shining behind it

The red little cottage is visible next to its gate

Which long ago was my childhood home

There was sun and summer over green meadows

When I was home as an eighteen year old

And the memories that remain from these days

Are the best and most beautiful I have

Within that home I got everything that I wanted

I might not have realized it until I grew up

And my parents taught me all the good things in life

Now both my father and mother is gone

I'm old now and merely my memories keeps me alive

From my home and my country of beautiful dreams

That which before used to capture my childhood mindset

Vividly stands before my mind's eye

And on top of that, my girl, there was no one like her

She was the sun in my life when I was young

She's calmly sleeping now, in the cold kingdom of death

I'm left alone and the world feels heavy

And I long home and grab a hold of my walking stick

And my country of happiness is merely an illusion

No, I will be tucked in within my tomb here

Far from my home and my beloved one

From the country in the west the thought strays afar

Home to my beloved old Sweden now and then

But since then, many long ages has passed

Still I haven't forgotten the childhood home

Still I haven't forgotten the childhood home

Still I haven't forgotten the childhood home
