| The long, hard yers at sea, have taken their toll on me | |
| For thirteen winters and a spring, | |
| I have been so far away | |
| So far, far away from the place | |
| I call home | |
| A place so beautiful, it's where | |
| I want to die | |
| Have you ever seen the rivers of | |
| Nyfors? Or the majestic view at the mountains of | |
| Brevik? Tyreso, you have left a mark in my heart | |
| Home... I am coming home again | |
| As I think of home, the memories burn inside of me | |
| Does my son still remember me? | |
| Does his mother recall how life used to be? | |
| Will she ever recognize this grey and scarred old man? | |
| Will I ever see her smile again? | |
| Will she meet me at the shore when my ship comes in? | |
| Mother Svea, you have left a mark in my heart | |
| So I am coming home again | |
| For home and kindred | |
| I have sailed so far | |
| For home and kindred | |
| I am coming home again |
