English Translation
- 1. From the depth of Swedish hearts,
- a joint and simple song,
- which to the King reaches forth!
- Be faithful to him and his line,
- the crown upon his head, make light,
- and all your faith in him invest,
- you folk of high renown.
- 2. Oh King, the majesty of this people
- Is also yours - embrace it
- And protect it from decline.
- Stands all the armies of the world against us,
- We fear not their threat
- We place them before your foot
- As a royal footstool
- 3. If one day our fall is near
- From your shoulders let the mantle fall
- Remove the burden of the crown
- And put on the beloved colours
- The old yellow and the blue,
- life the sword by the hilt and go
- Towards war and doom
- 4. Raise our last banner in your hand
- And lead your men yet
- To the end and into death
- Your faithful people of heroes stock,
- Of their best blood, they shall sew
- A royal robe, warm and pure
- And shroud you in it
- 5. You Lord of heaven, stay with us
- Just like you did in the olden days
- And live on our shores
- the old life and spirit
- Of the Svea king and his men
- And let your spirit rest
- Above the Northern Land
