Original verses by Richard Dybeck:

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, Thine meadows green.:/

2

   Thou throne upon memories of great olden days,
   When honoured thy name flew over the world,
   I know that thou art and wilt be as thou wert,
   /: Yes, I want to live I want to die in the North :/
