Min soldat

"Min soldat" (English: "My Soldier") is a Swedish song written by Nils Perne (Jokern).

It was recorded by Ulla Billquist in 1940 and became one of the most popular Swedish songs during World War II.

The song was written for and first performed by Naemi Briese in Gosta Jonsson’s revue Det kommer en vår at the Folkan theatre in Stockholm.

In the song, a woman is thinking of her fiance who is a soldier "somewhere in Sweden" ("någonstans i Sverige").

He has told her that they cannot afford to get married this year, and when he arrived yesterday on leave and took her to a dance, he was so tired that he fell asleep at the table.
