Christina!
Christiana, we welcome you with honor!
Christina,
Christina welcome to the throne!
My
dear fellow countrymen this is unprecedented
path.
I
officially would like to proc--
I'm
sorry I'm a little bit nervous....
But
I wanted to say thank you,
For
this journey you’ve bestowed upon me.
I'd
like
to say thank you, Sweden…
For
this journey you’ve bestowed upon me.
My
father was great military man
He
taught me to be brave and strong.
My
mother's not well but does all she can
To
teach her child right from wrong
And
though I’m scared
Though
I’ve very scared
I
will face the thrown.
But,
I wanted to say thank you
For
this journey you’ve bestowed upon me.
Sweden,
oh, my Sweden oh, our hearts are no longer
silent
I’ve
come of age in a time of wrath, we are full of
violence
Our
enemies around the world wait to hear my
philosophy
Our
country is exhausted and that’s our reality
Sweden,
oh my Sweden oh our hearts will never be quiet
again.
A
higher plane of civilization
I
support the arts, it’s cultivation
Freedom
for my people and prosperity!
Sweden,
unearth me now!
I’ll
take your passion and your war
And
bring God back home!
Like
a dove after the storm
The
future lies in Rome!
I
am your queen, Christina!
Thirty
years of war have come to pass
The
blood of your children have fallen on my hands
I
must ask you to stand behind me
Higher
learning to the masses
Common
bonds between classes
Lutherans
and Catholics will hold hands under God
I
see thirty years of war have come to pass,
friends, it’s time for peace again
Take
this as a proclamation to every man across the
nation
My
chancellor can keep his philosophy
Sweden,
unearth me now!
I’ll
take your passion and your war
And
bring God back home!
Like
a dove after the storm
The
future lies in Rome!
I
am your queen, Christina!
I
am your queen, Christina!
I
now proclaim peace in Westphalia!
Christina!
All
these dream pictures of fatherland, honor and
pride which have inspired noble men to perform
great deeds are in truth, no more than
daydreams. I hereby declare this war over!
Sweden,
unearth me, now!
Education
belongs to the people today we celebrate the
founding of the first Swedish newspaper!
Christina!
Watch
my dress...
Sweden,
unearth me now!
I’ll
take your passion and your war
And
bring God back home!
Like
a dove after the storm
The
future lies in Rome!
I
am your queen, Christina!
I am your queen, Christina!
God
bless Sweden forever!
