Heidenstam, Verner von: Sweden (Sverige in English)

Portre of Heidenstam, Verner von

Sverige (Swedish)

Sverige, Sverige, Sverige, fosterland,

vår längtans bygd, vårt hem på jorden!

Nu spela skällorna, där härar lysts av brand,

och dåd blev saga, men med hand vid hand

svär än ditt folk som förr de gamla trohetsorden.

 

Fall, julesnö, och susa, djupa mo!

Brinn, österstjärna, genom junikvällen!

Sverige, moder! Bliv vår strid, vår ro,

du land, där våra barn en gång få bo

och våra fäder sova under kyrkohällen.

Sweden (English)

O Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, native land,

The home and haven of our longing!

The cow-bells ring where heroes used to stand,

Whose deeds are story, but with hand in hand

To swear the ancient troth thy loyal sons are thronging.

 

Fall, winter snow! And sigh, thou wood's deep breast!

Burn, all ye stars, in summer heavens peeping!

Sweden, mother, be our strife, our rest,

Thou land wherein our sons shall build their nest,

Beneath whose church-yard stones our noble sires are sleeping.
