Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Ton souvenir doit être célébré sans lamentations,
pas comme celui de ceux qui viennent et sont vite oubliés ;
ainsi la patrie te pleurera,
comme un soir pleure la rosée en été,
emplie de joie, de lumière et de sérénité, elle chante
et ouvre les bras en direction de l'aube.
