A Phrase

[Ken Johnson]

What can you tell me about this phrase? What language is it and how do I say it being that I am an American? I know what it means... I want to be able to say it at my parent's funerals and I want it said at my funeral/wake. Thanks, Ken Jonsson  
 
Skåda, Där ser jag min fader
Skåda, Där ser jag, min mor, min syster och min broder
Skåda, Där ser jag
Blodslinjen av mitt folk
Tillbaka till begynnelsen
Skåda, Dom kallar på mig
Dom bjuder mig till att ta min plats ibland dom
I Valhallas salar
Där dom modiga
må leva
förevigt

It is Swedish. How to pronounce it is impossible to describe in writing, the pronounciation of Swedish is very different to that of English.

You could be helped by a phonetic transcription. To get the right prosody you should also listen to it. Hope you find someone to help you with this.  
 
I would also recommend to use the word moder instead of mor, to make it equivalent in style to fader and broder. The old fashion choice of words also calls for a grammatically correct writing. The word dom is spoken language for both de (they) and dem (them). Like this, where I also removed some of the capital letters and a comma:
 
Skåda, där ser jag min fader
Skåda, där ser jag min moder, min syster och min broder
Skåda, där ser jag
Blodslinjen av mitt folk
Tillbaka till begynnelsen
Skåda, de kallar på mig
De bjuder mig till att ta min plats ibland dem
I Valhallas salar
Där de modiga
må leva
för evigt.

Ken,
I've sent you an mp3-file.

[Ken Johnson]

That is great!
 
I started to look up Swedish pronunciation and phonetics but that would of taken quite awhile and who knows if I would of gotten it totally correct.
 
I wish I could speak Swedish for I am 100% Swedish. All of my ancestors immigrated here from Sweden to an area of South Central Nebraska where they were farmers.
 
Thank you so very much! It is most useful
 
Regards

I found these pronunciation sites. I don't know how accurate they are.
