O Vermeland, my heart cries in longing from afar
For thee, O most precious spot in Sweden.
Though years have past since I've been gone,
You're still my guiding star,
The hope all men cherish for an Eden.
'Twas there my mother and my father lived,
And where they lie.
One day I shall return and I vow I will remain,
In my blessed Vermeland forever.
