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.
