The Swedes are happy people
We sing and dance
Clicking heels and spinning with wide smiles
Laughing and joking as friends
For the night
Listening to a story, we are children
Buffet, we eat like adults
We bring risgrynsgröt
Rice pudding
Sing about maidens and frogs
Fiddlers and children
We lose the raffle again
(We do every year)
(Who wins these anyway?)
Being Swedish for a night
Pretending there is snow outside and
The trees are firs
Undisturbed by cars or people
Pretending we know the language
We are those few tonight
Eating and singing
Being happy
Being Swedes
