Today I will speak about the Swedish National Anthem "Du gamla du fria"
rougly translated. "Thou Ancient Thou free"
The text  was written in 1844 by Richard Dybeck and the melody comes from an old folktune from the province of Västmanland.
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
