    This performance would already be great if it had been sung by a Swedish choir. But the fact that these are non-Swedish speaking boys and girls singing this from memory makes it all the more astounding. Incredible domain of the pronunciation and an impeccable, moving performance. Congratulations.

    Wow... I´m a Swede, visiting Wisconsin, my Mexican wife working with herbal medicine asks me about "hierbabuena" in Swedish... I tell her it´s "krusmynta" and then find this recording (with the word "krusmynta" in it, as any Swede would know). And my mind travels to... New Zeeland...! What a fantastic world we are living in! Great performance, as a Swede I´m humbled, I´m happy, I´m proud.
    And yes, you nailed it!

      That's a myth. None of the plants mentioned have any such effects or were ever considered to have any such effects, and this assertion doesn't appear until comparatively late in history, making this a modern myth. But it's a compelling one, I grant you.

    For the English speakers:
    Uti vår hage
    "In our pasture grows blue berries
    Come joy from the heart
    If you need me for something, we will meet there!
    Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
    Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
    Fair little flowers will ask for a dance.
    Come joy from the heart!
    If you want, I can make a crown of flowers.
    Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
    Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
    The crown of flowers I will put in your hair
    Come joy from the heart!
    The sun goes up and down, but the hope stays strong
    Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
    Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
    In our pasture there are flowers and berries.
    Come joy from the heart!
    But out of everyone, I love you the most.
    Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
    Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!"

      Minor correction: Hjärtansfröjd, lit. “hearts' joy”, is the old name of a plant we now call citronmeliss. I believe it's called lemon balm in English. But the wordplay is definitely on purpose.

      Det är förvisso extremt ovanligt med skoluniform i Sverige. Jag reagerade dock mer över att det var så många elever med asiatiskt påbrå i kören. Det har vi ju inte i Sverige.
      Framförandet är i mitt tycke helt enastående. Otroligt duktig gymnasiekör! Naturligtvis ännu svårare att sjunga på ett helt främmande språk.

      Med all säkerhet, då det är standard för alla klassiska sångare att veta vad de sjunger om. Vi sjunger inte bara stavelser, vi sjunger meningar i ett språk. Mina körledare har alltid lärt ut betydelsen av låten och ibland vissa meningar för att vi i kören skall kunna sjunga med inlevelse som om vi själva sade det på språk som texten är skrivet på.

    Nice try. They get the "u" in "ljuva" and "ö" in "fröjd" nicely.
    The "ä" in "hjärtans" is a bit off; needs to be opened up.
    But in all a nice effort, Swedish is really hard to pronounce perfectly.

    To all the people who thinks this speaks of an abortion-potion.
    The fact is most scholars think it is just a song that welcomes/celebrates summer. Why would Blåbär be mentioned? To kill a baby ? It even mentions that he should make her a wreath out of the flowers which he puts in her hair, just as we always do around midsummer. People need to read the lyrics.
    Sure summer is a time of life, and that wreath as a gift might lead to lovemaking. But to leap unto birth-control from that is ludicrous. If you havn´t tested the recipe yourself and studied its effects on fertility, you don´t have nothing except myth.
