"Helan Går" - Swedish Drinking Song

The song "Helan går" is a traditional Swedish drinking song typically sung before taking the first shot of schnapps during a festive gathering. It is an integral part of Swedish culture and is often heard during celebrations such as Lucia Day, Christmas, Easter, and especially during Midsummer (the summer solstice festival).
The lyrics can be translated as an invitation to drink "a full cup" or "a whole shot." The title "Helan går" literally means "the whole goes," where "the whole" refers to the first, full shot. The essence of the song is a cheerful call to drink to enjoyment and good company. It is performed with accompanying claps and joyful shouts, creating an atmosphere of communal fun and revelry.
The tradition of singing "Helan går" and other similar songs (called "snapsvisor") during schnapps consumption at holidays and family celebrations is deeply rooted in Swedish history and culture, emphasizing the importance of socializing and joyous communal experiences.
