- Sjung du min dal, med brinnande röst, tyst dina heta sånger. Sjung markens gräs, och susa vart träd, sakta om dagen som kommer. Sjung källa och flod, sjung stenar och jord. Ge oss till tröst deras sånger. Och sjung du min dal, och brinn i din tro, på frihetens dag som kommer.

And sing, [you] my valley, and burn in your faith, in the day of freedom that comes.
