======== En Livstid I Krig LYRICS =======

Jag ser mig om och ser mitt hem försvinna bort
Min tid där hemma känns nu alldeles för kort
Blott ungdom, knappt en man då plikten kallade mig
Om jag får se mitt hem igen det vet jag ej
Bland fränder från min by så drog jag ut i strid
Och världen brann

För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?

Gick ut i strid för Sverige, blev döpt i blod
Där ute väntar döden, inte hjältemod
I fält där fränder faller, hörs ingen sång
Utmanar våra öden, ännu en gång

Långt hemifrån
Döpas och dö i strid

Och världen brann

För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?

Och när min tid har runnit ut
Vem bryr sig då?
De kämpar på
Får en soldat ett värdig slut?
Få somna in
Försvinna bort
Och aldrig vakna

För kriget det kan
Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den
En make, en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?

The part where the crowd sings melody and he sings harmony is ridiculously amazing.

[xibir]

A Song doesn't need to be heavy.

To be heavy.

[maciejbartoszewicz]

Joakim. I am a Polish soldier. A veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. This song broke my heart. She is so real! Thank you!

[BeardnManbun]

"So see me as such, a husband, a friend, father and Son who never returns home" that lyric literally hit me like a truck

[Sannoz]

For our none Swedish speaking friends :)


"I look around and see my home disappear
My time at home now feels far too short
Only youth, hardly a man when duty called me
If I get to see my home again, I do not know
Among relatives from my village, I went out to battle
And the world burned

For the war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as it
A husband, a friend
Father and son never coming home
But who mourns me?

Went out in battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood
Out there, death awaits, not heroism
In fields where relatives fall, no song is heard
Challenging our destinies, once again

Far from home
Be baptized and die in battle

And the world burned

For the war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as it
A husband, a friend
Father and son never coming home
But who mourns me?

"Guitar solo"

And when my time has run out
Who cares then?
They are struggling
Does a soldier get a dignified end?
Get to sleep
Disappear
And never wake up

For the war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who misses me?
So see me as it
A husband, a friend
Father and son never coming home
But who mourns me?"

after the show when i got home, drunk metalheads sang it on the train, and so did i. Amazing show.

[sarpbakrsoy]

I don't speak a word of Swedish but this version sounds way better imo. And sadder, for some reason.

[CallmeA]

The reason the Swedish empire was so successful is because, as mentioned in the lyrics of the song, the soldiers knew and fought for eachother. Not for the king, even though he was a formidable man. These were men from villages who fought among other men who probably went to the same church as they did every Sunday. Sweden only had 1 million inhabitants at this time.. the power of friendship. "Among kinsmen from my village i left for battle" this song is so damn powerful and historically accurate.

[franciscodetonne]

The 2 versions of this song truly express the Sabaton's principle of oppose war, honor soliders - the English version sings about the 30 years war in a very negative light, while the Swedish version immortalizes an unknown soldier and his forgotten peers.
"Has man gone insane" is the most powerful line in the English lyric, while "Men vem sörjer mig?" ("But who'll mourn for me") is easily what makes most people tear up in the Swedish version.

[Kiki_]

You can see how amazed and touched they are by the crowd singing along and that is so pure and wholesome omg

[Conradist]

As a finnish man, this Swedish version is twice more powerful than the English version.

[saschaross]

I was there. A German trying to sing in swedish. What a day it was

[bismarckandthekriegsmarine]

I love how the opening verse is sung by the crowd alone

[TheMmus]

I can't even begin to imagine how awesome it must be to be a rock star and see that amount of lighters/phones in the air... Epic and beautiful. Sabaton, don't ever quit. If you do, you'll answer to me.

[bastianweigel]

Jag är tysk, men mitt hjärta har varit svenskt i 35 år.
Den här låten kan vara Sveriges andra nationalsång.

Jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden. 🇸🇪 🤟

[garruslcr]

This is one of the most powerful and emotionnal live performances i have ever seen from a metal or rock band. Only sabaton can perform this. France loves you

[elssir]

If someone asks me why I decided to learn Swedish from all the languages... I will just show them this.

[johntaylor]

Let's all learn Swedish so this can be sung at every Sabaton concert!

[joehudson]

I know this song is about a soldier’s experience in the thirty years war but it could honestly fit with any soldier, in any war from ancient times to modern day. That’s what makes the song so powerful in my opinion

[ghostofarose]

I wish that one day I will be in the middle of all these swedish guys, hearing them singing in a language I absolutely don't understand, but crying because of all the emotions this song gives me. Thank you so much Sabaton.
