I Fäders Spår [English translation]

Gustav Eriksson is my name (1)

With the vase on my shield (2)

I fought against Kristian

Then I fell into captivity

But the chains were weak

And I was close to freedom

I traveled to Sweden

And the friends that I had left

My father slew the dane

Then in Stockholm was spilled blood

And with vengeance on my mind

I thus conjured the atrocity (3)

(REF:)

here are the feat and the words that remain:

"In father's footsteps to future victories"

Here's what king Gustav Vasa gave to us:

"In father's footsteps to future victories"

They were perilous times

Yes it was an adventure

I tried to find in Dalarna

Some people for a plot (4)

I hid and concealed myself from the Dane (5)

Among good and malevolent souls

Disguised myself in kitchen and barn

Where people held me dear

But many were in doubt of the uprising

And so i journeyed west

(REF)

It was Engelbrecht and Lars

Out there from Kettilbo

That followed me in my tracks

Without a break and without rest

And thus began the insurrection

Which us then brought freedom

Though hard our regiment

This heritage now we have:

A language that unites us

And a united country

And sweden despite battles

Shall carry its people towards the future
