"Du gamla, du fria" ("Thou ancient, Thou free") is the de facto national anthem of Sweden. It was originally named "Sång till Norden" ("Song to the North"), but the incipit has since been adopted as the title.
Although the Swedish constitution makes no mention of a national anthem, "Du gamla, du fria" enjoys universal recognition and is used, for example, at government ceremonies as well as sporting events. It first began to win recognition as a patriotic song in the 1890s, and the issue of its status was debated back and forth up until the 1930s. In 1938, the Swedish public service radio company Sveriges Radio started playing it in the evenings at the end of transmission, which marked the beginning of the de facto status as national anthem the song has had since.
Swedish Lyrics
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!
English Translation
Thou ancient, thou glorious, thou alp crowned North,
Thou quiet, thou joyful beauty!
I greet you, loveliest land upon Earth,
Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy green meadows.
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!
