Svea Arv, Svealand [English translation]

I love to wander alone

In a moonlit forest

With the smell of damp moss

And I can hear all its sounds

I can feel it breathing

And fill me with life

Follow me down to the water

Out to the foothills shall we go

We will watch the horizon

And hear the fish strike

Stare into the distance

And enjoy our time

(REF:)(2x)

I miss summertime in winter

And the spring when it's autumn

I complain about the heat

And also gripe in rainy weather

But over everywhere else in the world

I want to stay here

In the autumn I want to show you

A place out in a marshes

That is so very beautiful

Just when the leaves change color

I have seen the King of the forest (1)

There's also deer and foxes

I celebrate these regions

For I love the open countryside and forest

(They are) A gift given unto me

They give me comfort and bestow peace

My roots (go) deep into the soil

And I know my place is here

(REF)(2x)

But over everywhere else in the world

I want to stay here
