SABATON - Lejonet från Norden (Official Lyric Video)

[@Sabaton]

Known as the 'Lion From The North', King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden was a pioneer of modern warfare and statesmanship. He laid the foundations for the Swedish Empire and influenced many elements of the modern Swedish state. After his death, he was given the formal title of Gustav Adolf the Great.

Have you ever thought about doing a song about Leif Eriksson? He was a viking who was believed to be the first European to discover the new world almost 500 years before Columbus birth.

To be honest every Carolus Rex song in Swedish is worthy to be a war chant or national song. Sabaton were digging deep into every Swede's and historic nerd's heart with this album.

[@ararune3734]

[@greendragon4058]

Exactly oh, I kind of use it as a ringtone

[@Kim.Chaos.Possible]

It really is extraordinary how different the story is in both languages. The Swedish version is so much more emotional. The English version is a fantastic history of Gustavus Adolphus. But the Swedish version is the heart of the Lion. The blood that is spilled for a couple of centuries to be on top of the rest of the world. It's heartbreaking really. Tack mina killar. 🤘🏻

[@mighty_spirit8532]

I'm incredibly glad to see that we will be getting the swedish versions for these songs as well. This is my favorite Sabaton album!

[@ALinusAppears]

The interesting part, for those who don't know, is that the Swedish version isn't just "the same music in another language". It's actually a different point of view of the same event.

[@Miraihi]

Swedish version is always my choice out of the two. Bands should sing in their native languages more.

[@kvjbreaker7054]

Have you listens to The HU? They are literally a Mongolian metal band that combines Mongolian throat singing with metal music and traditional Mongolian instruments like the mouth harp, horsehead fiddle, and other is instruments. If you like listening to bands in their native language, they are a great choice.

[@Miraihi]

@@kvjbreaker7054 Last time I listened to them they lacked the "Metal" part and were more akin to a heavy folk or something. Maybe it's time to revisit.

[@FUnazis]

The thing is, they do such a phenomenal job with both versions. You can really tell with Livgardet/The Royal Guard, for example. I have listened to both versions, many, many, times, and I still couldn't say which one is my favorite. They understand how to bring a song from one language to another, which is not an easy feat at all, since you have a set melody and rhythm, a sort of given "length" of how much you can fit in each line for it to be able to be sung in place, and if you want to properly maintain the original meaning, while doing that, and ideally ALSO stick to the rhyming way of the original song (since most songs do have that), it's incredibly difficult. I have attempted it a few times (with Japanese and Russians songs; intented to bring them into German, which is my native language. English versions of each song already existed, helping me out), and even though I spent quite a bit of time on those, I was only somewhat happy with one of the end results (which was Anarchya-Mama, or, "Mother Anarchy loves her sons"). So, either way, I got sidetracked a bit. Sabaton's ability to make these songs work so perfectly in two different languages is absolutely increbible. It is a very hard task; much more than a simple translation, and I think it's safe to say it's almost like making two working songs from scratch. I love and respect it so much.

[@kentagent6343]

Unfortunately many people do not like to listen to music which they can't understand which in turn narrows the audience by a fair bit. For many bands it is not possible to reach an international audience without making music in English.

[@Miraihi]

@@kentagent6343 Yes, I understand that this is the case. But what I'm also observing is the growing appreciation of the native languages among metal bands, so it looks like the trend is changing. I love Vintersorg and Saurom for staying true to Swedish and Spanish lyrics for many years.

My dream is for Sabaton to pay musical tribute to the legendary fighter aircraft made by Sweden, an amazing feat for the nation. Maybe call it "Mythical Beasts" since this includes planes like the Draken (Dragon) and Gripen (Griffon)

[@GhastlyGhostrider]

[@NoName-iq3rx]

It's good when peapole honor their history. Spasibo Sabaton for opening for me the story of legendary king. Cheers

[@MisterLindqvist]

Gustav is the greatest king Sweden has ever had. He was a very well educated man and could speak fluently at least 7 different languages. He and his closest man, Axel Oxenstierna, modernized Sweden's Riksdag and developed the country on many fronts. At this time, Sweden also had many skilled generals and field marshals. Carl Gustaf Wrangel had become outrageously rich from the raids in the German-Roman Empire and built one of the world's most lavish baroque castles that can still be visited today. Skokloster Castle. At the top of the castle, you can visit the world's largest collection of weapons from the Baroque era.

[@Igorilianu]

[@LibraMiku271]

Lion from the North... good song. So much power, emotion, and a ballad of young Gustavus Adolphus aka Guustav II Adolf. Sabaton never disappoints. Keep on rocking
