Midsommarnatt [English translation]

The red sun goes down,

coloring the open sea

And sometimes trees and shrubs delay

the shine twilight slowly

And from far away I hear

the happy laughter of Hubbe and Sussie (1)

For there is feasting, and happyness

and singing at midsummer night

(REF)

Midsummer Night

We dance all night long

The accordeon resounds from the bay bridge

With giggling and laughter and song

Midsummer Night

And the sun just won't go down

It feels so good in your heart

When Midsummer Night smiles at you

by the beach sits

an old man with his fishing rod

And peering secretly

at every beautiful little maiden

And old Gösta (2)

Is dancing with Sussie, whom he received

For everyone is equally happy

At our midsummer night

(REF)

(SOLO)

On our dancefloor

the orchestra plays a swift song (X)

Which by both young and old

Is just as easily received (X)

And the air smells like

Firewood, moonshine and happy laughter

For everyone's become friends

When it's midsummer night
