"Du gamla, du fria" ("Thou ancient, Thou free") is the de facto national anthem of Sweden, but has never been officially recognised. It was originally named "Sång till Norden" ("Song to the North"). The lyrics (words) were written 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. 𝄇
