Sverige [English translation]

Sweden, Sweden, dear friend

An ashamed tiger

I know how it feels

When seriousness has become a joke

When the silence frightens

What's happened

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are

Set* your porch for a party

For a guest who has traveled far

In the country of just enough** it's best

We cheer for another Midsummer***

Fresh potatoes and herring

Like if time has 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 country without sound

And the glasses quietly shimmer on our table

As empty as words

Love is big, isn't it?

Welcome, welcome here

Whoever you are, wherever you are
