Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, under northern skies, where the midnight sun does rise,
In a land of ancient tales and modern dreams that thrive.
[Verse 1]
From the Stockholm archipelago's sparkling embrace,
To the forests of Småland, where the elk find their place.
In the lap of the nature, where the reindeer roam free,
Sweden stands proud by the Baltic Sea.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Viking sagas and Nobel Prize fame,
A land of neutrality, yet never quite the same.
[Chorus]
Sweden, Sweden, where the midnight sun will shine,
From the shores of Öresund to Lapland's pine,
In your heart, peace and innovation combine.
Sing your name, oh, Sweden, with a melody divine.
[Verse 2]
In the whispers of the spruce, by the icy fjords,
Echo tales of Gustav Vasa and ancient lords.
From ABBA's sweet tunes to Ingmar Bergman's screen,
In culture and art, your spirit is seen.
[Chorus]
Sweden, Sweden, where the midnight sun will shine,
From the shores of Öresund to Lapland's pine,
In your heart, peace and innovation combine.
Sing your name, oh, Sweden, with a melody divine.
[Bridge]
With fika moments of coffee and warm cinnamon buns,
A table of smörgåsbord under the sun,
In unity through diversity, you proudly stand,
Oh, Sverige, your legacy grand.
[Final Chorus]
Sweden, Sweden, where the midnight sun will shine,
From the shores of Öresund to Lapland's pine,
In your heart, peace and innovation combine.
Sing your name, oh, Sweden, with a melody divine.
[Outro]
Under aurora skies, in the quiet of the night,
Sweden, oh Sweden, your spirit takes flight.
