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.
