[Verse 1 In sixteen fourteen, by Helge's tide, King Christian's vision came alive. From Vä and Åhus, people moved, To Allö's isle, a city proved. [Verse 2 A fortress strong, with walls of might, To guard the realm, day and night. Heliga Trefaldighet's spire ascends, Nordic beauty that never ends. [Chorus Kristianstad's tale, through war and peace, A legacy that will not cease. From Danish crown to Swedish hand, A storied past upon this land. [Verse 3 In Roskilde's pact, the Swedes did claim, This bastion with a Danish name. Through Skåne's war, the cannons roared, Yet Kristianstad its strength restored. [Verse 4 The nineteenth century saw the fall, Of fortress walls, once standing tall. Boulevards replaced the stone, A modern city had grown. [Chorus Kristianstad's tale, through war and peace, A legacy that will not cease. From Danish crown to Swedish hand, A storied past upon this land. [Bridge Through floods and flames, the city stands, A testament to human hands. From railway's rise to present day, Kristianstad leads the way. [Verse 5 Now biosphere reserves embrace, The Vattenrike's cherished space. Four centuries of history, A living, breathing tapestry. [Chorus Kristianstad's tale, through war and peace, A legacy that will not cease. From Danish crown to Swedish hand, A storied past upon this land. [Outro So raise the banner, sound the call, Kristianstad's spirit unites us all. From past to present, future's cast, A city built to last.
