[Vers 1: Molly Sandén]
Sweden, Sweden, beloved friend
An ashamed tiger
I know how it feels
When austerity has become a joke
When violence doesn't scare
What has happened?
[Refräng: Molly Sandén]
Welcome, welcome here
Whoever you are, wherever you are
[Vers 2: Victor Leksell]
Set the patio-table for a party
For a faraway guest
In the country "moderate1 is enough"
We toast to another MIdsummer
As if time has stood still
While the world is burning
[Refräng: Molly Sandén & Victor Leksell]
Welcome, welcome here
Whoever you are, wherever you are
[Vers 3: Joakim Berg]
The rain splatters the windows now
But the night is bright
In a land without God
The glasses shine quietly on our table
As empty as words
Isn't love grand
[Refräng: Joakim Berg & Molly Sandén]
Welcome, welcome here
Whoever you are, wherever you are
Welcome, welcome here
Whoever you are, wherever you are
[Outro: Joakim Berg & Molly Sandén]
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Whoever you are
1. "Lagom" as is sung in the original lyrics is a swedish word that signals when something is just right, in the middle of two options, etc. We (Swedes) usually make fun of ourselves for being too "lagom" (moderate), indecisive, or always arguing for a non-existent middle-option if a choice is involved.
