Swedish March - 'Björneborgarnas Marsch' [English Translation]

"Björneborgarnas Marsch" - (English: March of the Björneborgers)

A Swedish military march from the 18th century by unknown composer. The march is used in Finland since 1918 and is known as Porilaisten Marssi. The Finnish-Swedish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg used the march to write this text which is included in the poems of Fänrik Ståls Sägner. The text was later translated to Finnish amongst other languages. The painting depicts Georg Carl von Döbeln, a Swedish General known for his efforts in the Finnish War of 1808-1809.

This was one of my favorite marches when i was member of a small German marching band, and esp we drummers like to play this. We called it the "Schwedenmarsch".
Unfortunately the band doesnt exist anymore...
Glad to hear it again, thx for sharing ✌️👍

"Skarpt är vårt stål" Implicerar att våra svärd var mycket vassa. Den saken kan jag tro helt.

The Finns did not die for Finland only, they died for Sweden as well. Förr var vi ett enat folk, låt vara att några av oss talade olika.

How is it "Swedish march" when there are so many references to Finland?

[lukum]

Its not really a Swedish march when it was written in Finland by a Finn and the song is about Finns. Only thing Swedish about this is the language. And yes, I know Finland was a part of Sweden for 600 years but it was not anymore when this was written.

I'm tempted to memorize this whole song just so I could sing it anytime. I've been humming the tune of it. I don't even know any Norwegian language. But this is just beautiful
