Sverige [English translation]

Sweden, Sweden, beloved friend,

An ashamed tiger

I know how it feels

When serious things have become a joke

When the silence is scary

What has happened?

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are

Decorate the porch for a party

For a long coming guest

In the country, less is best

We cheers for another Midsummer

Fresh potatoes and herring

Like if time stood still

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are

The rain pounds against the windows now

But the night is bright in a country without light

And the glass glitters quietly on our table

As empty as words

Of course love is large

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are
