Sweden National Anthem ENGLISH TRANSLATION You ancient, free and mountainous North, Of quiet, joyful beauty, I greet you, loveliest land on earth, Your sun, your sky, your green meadows. Your sun, your sky, your green meadows. You are throned on memories of olden days When the honour of your name spread over the earth. I know that you are and will remain what you were. Oh, may I live, may die in the Nordic North! Oh, may I live, may die in the Nordic North! Forever I shall serve thy my beloved country, until death I owe thy my fidelity. Your right I will protect with mind and with hand, Thy banner, feats of bravery carry Thy banner, feats of bravery carry With God I shall fight, for home and for bliss, for Sweden, the dear fatherland. For nothing, in the world, I would trade thee. No, I would live and I would die in the North No, I would live and I would die in the North
