Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord, Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna 2 Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar, då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden. Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad Du var. Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden Translated Lyrics: 1 Thou ancient, thou free, thou mountainous North Thou quiet, thou joyful beauty! I greet thee, most beautiful land upon earth, Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy meadows green 2 Thou art enthroned upon memories of great olden days, When honoured thy name flew across the earth, I know that thou art and will be as thou wert, Yes, I want to live I want to die in the North
