Sverige [English translation]

Sweden, Sweden, beloved friend

A tiger that is ashamed

I know how it feels

When seriousness has become a joke

When the silence frightens

What is it that has happened

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are

Deck your veranda for a party

For a guest from far away

In the land where moderate is best

We drink to another midsummer

Fresh potatoes and herring

As if time stood still

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are

The rain hits the window panes now

But the night is light in a land without sound

And the glass glitters quietly on our table

Just as empty as words

Of course love is great

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are
