The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Sweden – Du Gamla, Du FriaDu gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nordDu 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.

Canada - O CanadaO Canada!Our home and native land!True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise,The True North strong and free!From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.God keep our land glorious and free!O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
