Thou old, Thou free

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Sweden

You old, you free, you mountainous north
You quiet, you joyful beauty!
I greet you, loveliest land upon Earth,
Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes.
Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes.

You are enthroned on memories of great olden days,
When honoured your name flew across the Earth,
I know that you are and remain what you were,
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Sweden

You old, you free, you mountainous north
You quiet, you joyful beauty!
I greet you, loveliest land upon Earth,
Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes.
Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes.

You are enthroned on memories of great olden days,
When honoured your name flew across the Earth,
I know that you are and remain what you were,
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

I forever want to serve you, my beloved land,
fidelity until death I want to swear to you.
Your right I shall defend with mind and with hand,
Your banner, the glorious one, (I shall) carry high.
Your banner, the glorious one, (I shall) carry high.

With God I shall fight for home and for hearth,
for Sweden, the beloved mother soil.
Exchange you, I won’t for anything in this world
No, I want to live, I want to die in the North.
No, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

The national anthem Sweden was adopted in 1866.
It was written by Richard Dybeck and composed by Swedish traditional music and arranged by Edvin Kallstenius.
