Sabaton - Konungens likfärd (Lyrics English & Svenska)

[@tman9619]

“But we’ll never become what we once were” damn that line hits hard and I’m not even Swedish

[@MrEgofreak]

Really makes you feel the Karoliens sorrow at the loss of their leader.

[@Sonkens]

Nothing hits as hard as Ruina Imperii in Swedish, the first chorus hits like a freight train

[@BioCrushed]

@@Sonkens "Fränder, Bröder, Vår stormaktstid är över, vårt rike blöder, fanan står i brand!" As a soldier thats painfull to hear.

It was for the best. Had we kept up our line of good military kings there might've been worse to come. We weren't exactly fans of peace, neither was Karl The 12th

[@TurtleSlayer94]

Breaking news November 2022: Researchers at the Finnish University of Oulu have concluded that Carolus was not assassinated, but killed by enemy forces. By studying x-rays of his skull and extensive test shooting of different ammunition, they have concluded that he was killed by a an iron ball with a diameter of more than 2cm, travelling at a velocity of 200m/s at the moment of impact. This implies that the shot was fired from the enemy fortress, about 200 metres from where Carolus was standing when he was killed.

Absolutely flawless translation. You even made a lot of the English translation fit the Swedish melody. That's an A+

[@Mr_Kian_Kane]

Agreed

[@qwystr]

As for fitting the melody, they were good, but some of them are pretty weird

[@clashof6d]

Not everytime was a translation but it means almost the same and fits in the melody better than the correct translation. If i'd need to give it something, its an A

[@HansenSWE]

@@clashof6d Tack för att du påminde mig om den här videon!

[@arm4nduk3]

"Var inte rädda" meaning "don't be afraid", the most fitting final words for this king...

[@Nevergooneddepedde]

I don't think it was the final words, he died inspecting a trench, but it feels more heroic that way so we'll keep it.

[@Razzlion]

@@Nevergooneddepedde No, his aid urged him to get down in the trench again and he responded with "Var inte rädda" and turned back to watch the fortress and then he died. That's according to the reports at least.

The times when people could truly fight for their king, not because they were told to, but because they wanted to

[@AsharOzborne95]

What I like most about this song is that at the last repetition of the chorus, Joakim's voice falters and he rushes to catch up to the choir at several points and then he screams "Carolus Rex" at the end. It's like Joakim is singing from the perspective of one of the soldiers carrying his late, beloved king back to Sweden whilst they are singing this very song like a funeral dirge and he can't contain his grief. It's such a... human and raw tone to end the song on. I love it!

[@MrEgofreak]

I never thought of that! That's such an interesting thought!

[@caajcs]

Yeah. I especially love when he says "Tanken tär / the thought hurts". That line, for me, has so much emotion.

[@martinottesen1053]

True. This was actually a goal with the Swedish version of the album. They wanted to make the Swedish version more personal, and told from the perspective of the Swedish soldiers. Considering this song and “En Livstid I Krig”… Mission fu**ing accomplished!!!

[@Gokaes]

and it hits harder

[@6th_Army]

That's because it's supposed too. The English album is from the outside point of view. From those not involved, looking at the rise and fall of an Empire. While the Swedish album is from the Swedish point of view. From the eyes of average Swede, we see the rise and fall of a mighty Empire that would never rise again. Just as the mystery of it's demise would never be known.

Swedish is one of at least two languages (the other being German) that appear to be perhaps better suited to metal than English...

[@obj.2684]

yes, right sentence, generally german-skandinawian languages are super in metal songs

[@qwystr]

Yes, and Sabaton has done a very different focus and feel in the two languages, more deep and personal in swedish

Никогда раньше не воспринимал Карла XII как такого трагического персонажа. Жаль его. Был героем и так невнятно погиб...Сейчас думаю о нем, как о героическом короле, последнем Конунге. Ну да, воевал с нами,но тогда все со всеми воевали...

[@soft_er0030]

Чем более велик человек - тем более бесславна и глупа его смерть. Так почти со всеми великим полководцами, а по поводу воевал… На шведов напала коалиция из Датско-Норвежского королевства, Речи Посполитой с Саксонией и Московским царством - под предлогом того что Карл тогда был 15 летним мальчишкой (конечно у всех были территориальные мотивы, но смелости добавлял именно этот факт)

Great! but "bragd om livet" means killed. its a euphemism translated to literally as deeds of life here. Its used in the north to day mostly.

[@agidotexe7167]

i think the line about sand is alot sadder in swedish cuz in literal translation it translates to: ''the dream spilled out/poured out into (like) sand'' ''turned into sand'' defo works better but it hits harder in swedish

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

Mhm, when I translated it the actual line I got was closer to "The dream ran out of sand" i.e ran out of time, but in English this translation definitely hits better than that. Not a native Swedish speaker so I'll have to take your word for it.
