Sweden National Anthem (Instrumental) Du gamla, Du fria
"Du gamla, du fria" ('Thou ancient, thou free'), originally titled "Sång till Norden" ('Song to the North'), is the Swedish title of a 19th-century patriotic song which serves as the de facto national anthem of Sweden – it is therefore unofficial. The lyrics were written by Richard Dybeck in 1844, and its melody is based on a traditional folk tune. (English Lyrics / Translation) You ancient, you free, you mountainous north You quiet, you joyful beauty! I greet you, loveliest land upon Earth, ? Your sun, your sky, your green landscapes. ? 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. ?
