Here is the text in swedish Du gamla du fria du fjällhöga nord Du tysta du glädjerika sköna Jag hälsar dig vänaste land uppå jord Din skog din himmel dina ängder gröna Din skog din himmel dina ängder gröna Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden. Jag vet att du är och du blir vad du var. Ja, Jag vill leva jag vill dö i norden Ja, Jag vill leva jag vill dö i norden. Here comes a rough english translation Thou ancient,thou free thou mountainious North Thou quiet,thou joyful beauty! I greet thee,most beautiful land upon earth. Thy sun Thy sky thy meadows green Thy sun Thy sky thy meadows green thou throne upon memories of great olden days, when honoured thy name flew over the world. I know that thou art and wilt be as thou wert, Yes I want to live I want to die in the north Yes I want to live I want to die in the north the song is here sung by a singer named Arvid Asplund in an old recording from 1905 on a wax cylinder it comes from the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project at the University of California in Santa Barbara Ancestry.com has lately put up some swedish sources the two largest is called Swedish Emigration records 1783-1951 and it contains among other things some passanger lits. the other group are Värmland,Sweden Parish records 1661-1895. it contains scanned images of churchrecords from the province of Värmland I have taken a look at both groups the podcasts new e-mail is annakarinsgenealogicalpodcast@gmail.com Comments[6] |
