Let joy and jubilation
be heralded throughout the land
and be heard among the mighty
and the low
to all races, colours and creeds
a day of celebration is now decreed

A thundering roar of ecstacy
a song of elation
so great that it even wakes
Bellman and Astrid Lindgren from their graves
in this sleeping nation

And you can hear them whisper to each other
in sighs and moans as the measure rises
in increasing tones

"Oh what an extraordinary gal Carina must be
to summon this tide and raise the dead, it's surely history
I wonder what's down the road for her up ahead
Enough said, If only we could borrow
the signature to her work and saga"

"Collect the revenues and royalties and then
Yes, let the Devil take Haga!"
