Jämtland English Female version

Hear me by the fire, hear me by the water. Jamtland stands waking, beneath the mountain line. [Verse 1] The mountains rise high, above our land. The forests lie silent, by Storsjön’s strand. [Verse 2] This is our inheritance, not gold, not sword. The earth and the memory, all that we guard. [Chorus] Jamtland, our land, by fire and water we stand. Jamtland, our heart, your song still lives. [Verse 3] Where the people gathered, beneath the open sky, voices rose from the valleys, and law was spoken high. [Verse 4] Children by the hearthfire, fathers in the snow. Mothers bearing wisdom, memories that still grow. [Chorus] Jamtland, our land, by fire and water we stand. Jamtland, our heart, your song still lives. [Verse 5] Frösön keeps the old words, the stone still stands. The water bears the footsteps, of long-forgotten hands. [Verse 6] Freedom is silence, hand beside hand. To stand within the storm, and love your land. [Final Chorus] Jamtland, our land, by fire and water we stand. Jamtland, our heart, your song still lives. [Outro – whispered] When the night is falling, and northern lights burn. Jamtland stands waking, as long as we remember.
