Vita vidder was the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 in Dublin performed by the group Family Four. The country was returning to the contest after participating in the walk-out following the four-way win of 1969.

The song says that many people of Northern Europe (such as Sweden) like to travel to sunny countries of Southern Europe, with beaches, sunny days and warm nights, but the band prefers the white horizons with snows of Sweden.

The song was performed 12th on the night, following Italy and preceding Ireland. At the close of voting, it finished in 6th place with 85 points.

Soliga stränder, gröna vajande palmer
Medelhavsländer, mörka nätter, varma, sköna
Där vill du leva, jag har ett annat paradis

Vita vidder, gnistrande skare
Fjäll med snö så långt man kan se
Djupa skogar, vipor och hare
Evig sol som aldrig går ner

Här är min värld och den vill jag dela med dig
Om du vill vara vid min sida
Du vill vara vid min sida

Bara vi båda förstår varandra, då är världen vår
Sol på en strand eller sol över snövitt vinterland

Lummiga vindar gör små vågor i sanden
Medelhavs vindar för var segelbåt mot stranden
Så vill du leva, jag har ett annat paradis

Snö som virvlar runt mina skidor
Nerför branta hisnande stup
Glida ner för fjällkammens sidor
Ensam mellan himmel och djup

Så’n är min värld och den vill jag dela med dig
Om du vill vara vid min sida
Du vill vara vid min sida

Bara vi båda förstår varandra, då är världen vår

Sunny beaches, green swaying palms
Mediterranean countries, dark nights, warm, pleasant
That’s where you want to live, I have another paradise

White expanses, sparkling frozen crust
Mountains with snow as far as you can see
Deep forests, grouse and hare
Eternal sun that never sets

Here is my world and I want to share it with you
If you want to be by my side
You want to be by my side

As long as we understand each other, then the world is ours
Sun over a beach or sun over a snowy white winter landscape

Warm winds make little waves in the sand
Mediterranean winds bring our boat to the shore
That’s how you want to live, I have another paradise

Snow that whirls around my skis
Down steep dizzying slopes
Gliding down the sides of the mountain edge
Alone between heaven and abyss

That’s my world and I want to share it with you
If you want to be by my side
You want to be by my side

As long as we understand each other, then the world is ours
