|
Blow your trumpets, let the feast begin. |
|
Sing for us minstrels tonight. |
|
Let the coronation shimmer and shine in the golden sun so bright. |
|
In a velvet mantle he takes the oath: [Birger:] - |
|
I will protect and serve my homeland in the name of our lord. |
|
Stand by me and we will prevail. [The crowd:] - |
|
Hail! Remember the words of the old and wise about what's wrong and what's right. |
|
Do you know greed's face, the tongue of the snake or the shades of black and white? |
|
Receive the crown and wear it with pride. |
|
With it comes more than just the glory and gold. |
|
Embrace the task to stand by our side. |
|
Fight for our freedom with the powers you now hold. |
