Svea Saga [English translation]

Thor, went upwards with thunder

Odin, was known as a sage

There were Aesirs and gods, in our former generations

We put our hopes in the box of Yggrdasil (1)

You shall hear the Swedish Saga

As it was told once ago

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one

King Olaf xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (X)

And Svitjod ... the saga of the (swedish) realm yet young (1b)

Here are the brother wars, and many power struggles

Here are mead and whine, from the Nyköping banquet (1b)

Thus hear the Swedish Saga

Told all over again

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one

Engelbrekt... his fight for freedom against the bailiff empire (2)

King Gustav, with the vase on his shield (3)

They built the swedish cradle, and guarded her children

The foundation that they built, it still lies today

Thus tells the swedish saga

And gives to us this song

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one

Of swedish heroes, lovers of freedom

Of kings and knights

Many more than one
