"Ack Värmeland, du sköna" or "Värmlandsvisan" is a Swedish popular song, best known in the English-speaking world as "Dear Old Stockholm".
"Ack Värmeland, du sköna"
The Swedish title may be roughly translated as "Oh Värmland, you beautiful" and the song praises the historical province (landskap) Värmland. The lyrics were written by the Värmlandian Anders Fryxell in his 1822 musical Vermlands-Flickan (The Värmlandian Girl), and then expanded by Fredrik August Dahlgren for his 1846 work Värmlänningarna.
The song is sung by the young Nicolai Gedda in the 1952 film Eldfågeln. The song was recorded, in Swedish, by Israeli folk duo Esther & Abi Ofarim for their 1968 LP Up To Date.
