Every listen to Amon Amarth?

Svealand is one of the main parts of Sweden. Sweden was made from an union between Svealand (land of the svear) and Götaland (land of the göter) in early medival Times. Stockholm is in Svealand.

Konung is King. Konungen is the King. Konungens is someting belong to the King. Lik is an dead body. Färd is travel (think fahren in german). Likfärd is the travel when take the body to the final rest.

there is an English version to the swedish translation to this song

btw, i work with someone from the, i think west side of South Africa

Sabaton is, just that, Sabaton, they bring you in no matter where you are from

11:25 - Svealand (The land of the Swedes) is the middle of the three regions of Sweden, the others being Norrland (The land of the North) and Götaland (The land of the Goths).

It's My Favorite Song

Translation of the Swedish lyrics, so you can maybe get some of the shifted emphasis, but can't really be directly translated: Death stod by the door, this cold winternight Beraved of life, it stood written, when his destiny caught up Who would now lead us, In a time that has ran out. Lost our king, our sorrow is heavy, when his rule has ended Did the shot come from his own army, the thought consumes 300 years and no one knows, his deaths secret Dead on the realms border, the dream ran out in the sand Long live Carolus, carried home by hand, return to Svealand(Sweden proper) Long live Carolus Rex The marching goes to Sweden, no songs in our line carrying our king homewards still, over mountains and hills How shall we remember him, was he a hero or not foolishness or heroism, yes that is what you ought to ask yourself Did the shot come from his own army, the thought consumes 300 years and no one knows, his deaths secret Dead on the realms border, the dream ran out in the sand Long live Carolus, carried home by hand, return to Svealand(Sweden proper) Long live Carolus Rex Last journey, new times appraoches, shall it finally be peace but we will never be what we once were Dead on the realms border, the dream ran out in the sand Long live Carolus, carried home by hand, return to Svealand(Sweden proper) Long live Carolus Rex Dead on the realms border, the dream ran out in the sand Long live Carolus, carried home by hand, return to Svealand(Sweden proper) Long live Carolus Rex

"Killed by his own men" is about the possibility that he may have been fragged. This is probably not true but it is possible hench this persistant rumour.

He fell in battle at Fredrikshald while inspecting the enemy troops on the wall when he got shot and for a long time no one knew where the bullet came from. He had alot of enemies in the nobility who wanted to get rid of him but he was loved by the people and specially by the soldiers. With new technology etc. they have been able to determine the bullet type, angle of the shoot atc. with computers and there is no doubt that he was killed by an enemy bullet. After his death Sweden lost alot of it's territory and power in Europe.

This song is about an event that marked 2 things in history: 1. Carolus Rex's death effectively means the end of the Swedish Empire, and Sweden's role as a big military power. 2. This was also the death of the last European Warrior-king. Most king at this point in time (1700's) did NOT participate in battles. Carolus was pretty much always in the front of the battle, and in the deepest fray. It is believed the king died from a grapeshot from a Norwegian cannon. Also, Swedish is a Germanic language, so it is related to German, Dutch and the like :)

Swedish is a north germanic language so its part of the germanic languages which include German, Dutch, Afrikaans etc.

are you mixed south African mi asking because well I'm currios or how ever you spell it

Swedish language is related to German and Dutch. Gamla ord som arm,finger mm är samma. Titta på sabatons historia kanal de handlar om deras sånger.

Sverige is the name for Sweden and it literally means "svea rike" so we sometime refer to it as that. Svear (eng: sweons) was the germanic people which the country was named after. The three largest regions Sweden can be divided into is: Götaland, Svealand and Norrland in order from south to north. Götar (eng: geats/goths) was another germanic people and the most southern region is named after them and of course the city of Göteborg (eng: Gothenburg).

hmmmm..... Something is wrong here

All Sabaton songs that relate to Swedish history have both Swedish and English lyrics. The album covers the time of the Swedish Empire (1611-1721) so most of the songs are centered arund the 30 years war (1618-1648) when Gustav II Adolf 1611-1632 (Gustavus Adophus, The Lion From The North) was king or The Great Northern War 1711-1721 when Karl XII 1697-1718 (Carolus Rex) was king. Konunges Likfärd is directly translated The King's Corpse Journey, but in English you would probably say Funeral Procession.

Love the overall setup. Keep rockin 🤘 Greetings from Germany

You should react to sabaton history they go in depth about the history and a little about the song itself and this is about the death of king carolus rex or karl the 12th it was confirmed by a finnish research team that he was killed by a Norwegian danish soldier not his own men

The whole Carolus Rex album is a masterpiece.

As being a swede, this is the only song from the Carolus Rex albums I actually prefer in english. Well both versions are superb but somehow the english one gets to me. Probably it is when Joakim screams out: Fredrikshald!! This was a really great reaction, love when you do them both. And your pronounciation of the song was really good. All the best from Sweden.

Bro went from a Boer to a biore (I'm going to hope Boer isn't a slur now)

Between common Germanic roots as well as lots of contact between Old English and Old Norse, I often recognize words in Swedish also. Interestingly, one language CZcamsr I saw said that Afrikaans was one of the easiest language for an English speaker to learn.

Svealand is an alternative name used in old times for Sverige (Sweden). Today Sweden is divided by 3 parts GÖTALAND (Gautaland in Vikingtimes) , SVEALAND (the center part of Sweden where the power and Stockholm is situated) AND NORRLAND (Northland)

It's not known if Carolux Rex was killed by his own or by is foe. However recent investigations indicates that Carolux Rex actually was killed by his foe, not by his own! "Likfärd" translates to cremation, which are not really the appropriate word here, it's more related to the journey his dead body took from Norway to Sweden. Best regards from Sweden!

noone knows if he was killed by his own or an enemy that is what they are singing

Keep em coming

I heard this song on Instagram, and since I've been hooked to this song mate 😅

Love this band!

Thousands of feet march to the beat Its an army on the march Long way from home Paying the price in young men’s lives Thousands of feet march to the beat Its an army in despair Knee deep in mud Stuck in a trench with no way out

Moscow looks a lot more barren than I remember.

I failed to not head bang on every one

I felt my head trying to make me headbang

Beautiful

No mate this is a classic Sabaton song. Their new thumping boring as hell songs they have done to death are so bad. The last 10 years this band has become the new iron maiden... This song was from the prime era of Sabaton.

This song actually has a connection to South Africa! It is about the Battle of Monte Cassino (Which is where the casino in SA got it's name from), and men of the South African Engineer Corps fought in said battle, alongside other allied soldiers.

Yes, it's not the usual banger but it's still good.

What are these goofy ahh ai images? ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Yea, this is one of the Sabaton songs that doesn't drop to half speed or something in the bridge, they did a key change instead. Even though this album came out in 2007, it was actually their first album. It's full of gems 😎🤘

Раньше я думал что нейросети не могут принимать наркотики... Чтож, я явно ошибся

It looks like it was confused by Warhammer. Too many space-y and warhammer-y themes in the AI art.

Panzerkampf kill me
