Du gamla, du cold (literally You old, you free) is the national anthem of Sweden. The lyrics of the first two verses were written by Richard Dybeck in 1844 and the last two by Louise Ahlén in 1910.

Unlike in many countries, the Swedish national anthem does not enjoy official status but has been established by mere traditional use.

It was originally written by Dybeck as a folk song from the province of Västmanland and the lyrics began with Du gamla, du friska (literally You old, you healthy), but Dybeck decided to change it soon after to Du gamla, du fria.

The song began to be used as a national anthem from the 1890s, at patriotic parties. At that time, Swedish nationalism reached its peak and was a politically correct ideology.

The last two verses, composed by Ahlén, are little known and rarely sung. The first two verses are always sung when the anthem is sung in Sweden. In an international context, such as in sporting events, the number of verses used varies since sometimes (such as in the Olympic Games) only the first is sung.

Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, 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.

Jag städs vill dig tjäna, mitt älskade land,
dig trohet till döden vill jag svära.
Din rätt skall jag värna med håg och med hand,
din fana, högt den bragderika bära.

Med Gud skall jag kämpa för hem och för härd
för Sverige, den kära fosterjorden.
Jag byter Dig ej, mot allt i denna värld
Nej, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.

You old, you free, you, North high mountains,
You, silent, gentle and cheerful!
I greet you, the most friendly country in the world.
Your sun, your sky, your green meadows.

You reign in the memory of glorious days past,
when your name was venerated all over the world.
I know you are and you will be what you were.
Yeah, I want to live and I want to die in the North.

I want to serve you always, my beloved land,
I want to swear faithfulness to death.
I will defend your rights with mind and hand,
heroes carry your flag up.

Together with God I will fight for my home,
for Sweden, my beloved homeland.
I don't change you for anything in the world.
No, I want to live and I want to die in the North.
