Schweden Schweden [English translation]

What luck little me have had

I feel so honored

To have grown up in your care

It’s a privilege who few have had

So thank you mum and dad

Thank you my teachers

And thank you all of us

All of us who has it so good

But Sweden, Sweden motherland

Sweden, Sweden motherland

Tell me, Tell me is it really true

I have been taught

To thank for the food

And I have been taught

That I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine

And I search my feelings and try

You don’t want to become one of those that you know

One of those who hangs around

One of those who stares

But Sweden, Sweden motherland

Sweden, Sweden motherland

Tell me, Tell me is it really true

I have been taught

To never lie about anything

To never steal in the shops

Because you know how wrong that is

And to never argue with elders

Because you know that they are always right

But strangely enough I feel bad today

Just like I did yesterday

But Sweden, Sweden motherland

Sweden, Sweden motherland

Tell me, Tell me is it really true

But Sweden, Sweden motherland

Sweden, Sweden motherland

Tell me, tell me is it really true
