Sverige [English translation]

Sweden, Sweden, beloved friend

A tiger in shame

I know how it feels

When gravity becomes a joke

When silence is feared

What has happened?

Welcome, welcome

Whoever you are

Wherever you are

Set the table at your porch for a feast

For a long distanced guest

In the country moderate is best

We toast for another midsummer

Fresh potatoes and herring

As if time stood still

Welcome, welcome

Whoever you are

Wherever you are

The rain is hitting the windows now

But the night is bright in a country without sound

And the glasses glitters quietly at our table

As empty as words

Love sure is grand

Welcome, welcome

Whoever you are

Wherever you are
