Lyrics of Du Gamla Du Fria - Destiny

Du Gamla Du Fria (original)

Du gamla, Du fria,
Du fjallhoga nord
Du tysta, Du gladjerika skona!
Jag halsar Dig,
Vanaste land uppa jord,
Dina angder grona.
:/
Du tronar pa minnen
Fran fornstora dar,
Da arat Ditt namn
Flog over jorden.
Jag vet att Du ar och
Du blir vad du var.
Jag vill do i Norden.
:/
Jag stads vill dig tjana
Mitt alskade land,
Din trohet till doden
Vill jag svara.
Din ratt, skall jag varna,
Med hag och med hand,
Bragderika bara.
:/
Med Gud skall jag kampa,
For hem och for hard,
For Sverige,
Den kara fosterjorden.
Jag byter Dig ej,
Mot allt i en varld
:/ Nej, jag vill leva
Jag vill do i Norden.
:/

(translation)

You old you free,
You fjallhoga nord
Thou quiet, Thou joyous spare!
I hug you,
Most accustomed land on earth,
Your intentions are green.
:/
You rely on memories
From ancient times,
Da arat Your name
Flew over the earth.
I know You are and
You become what you were.
I want to die in the North.
:/
I want to serve you
My beloved country,
Your faithfulness unto death
I want to answer.
Your steering wheel, I'll warn,
With hag and with hand,
Just brilliant.
:/
With God I will fight,
Go home and go hard,
For Sweden,
The dear mother earth.
I won't change you,
Against everything in a world
:/ No, I want to live
I want to die in the North.
:/
