Du gamla du fria
Thou Ancient, Thou Free
Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna.
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora da’r,
Då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.Jag vet att du är Och du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
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.
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!
United States National Anthem
The Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail by the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
