Vårt land (Swedish)
- Vårt land, vårt land, vårt fosterland,
- ljud högt, o dyra ord!
- Ej lyfts en höjd mot himlens rand,
- ej sänks en dal, ej sköljs en strand,
- mer älskad än vår bygd i nord,
- än våra fäders jord!
- Din blomning, sluten än i knopp,
- Skall mogna ur sitt tvång;
- Se, ur vår kärlek skall gå opp
- Ditt ljus, din glans, din fröjd, ditt hopp.
- Och högre klinga skall en gång
- Vår fosterländska sång
Our Land (English translation)
- Our land, our land, our fatherland,
- Sound loud, O name of worth!
- No mount that meets the heaven's band,
- No hidden vale, no wavewashed strand,
- Is loved, as is our native North,
- Our own forefathers' earth.
- Thy blossom, in the bud laid low,
- Yet ripened shall upspring.
- See! From our love once more shall grow
- Thy light, thy joy, thy hope, thy glow!
- And clearer yet one day shall ring
- The song our land shall sing.
