#sabaton #sabatonreaction #live #reaction
ENGLISH LYRICS:
A lifetime of war
I look around and I see my home fade away
My time at home now feels far too short
Just a youth, barely a man when duty called me
If i get to see my home again, that I do not know
Amongst friends from my village, I went out to fight
And the world burned
For war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who will mourn me?
So see me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never comes home
But who will miss me?
Went to fight for Sweden, was baptized in blood
Out there where death awaits, not heroism
In fields where kinsmen fall no song is heard
Challenging our destiny one more time
Far from home
Baptized and die in battle
And the world burned
For war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who will mourn me?
So see me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never comes home
But who will miss me?
And when my time runs out
Who cares then?
They fight on
Does a soldier get a worthy end?
To fall asleep
Pass away
And never wake up
For war it can
Destroy a man
I give my life for my homeland
But who will mourn me?
So see me as
A husband, a friend
Father and son who never comes home
But who will miss me?

Oh am I proud to be swedish knowing that we have bands like this from this little country. This song is amazing and the crowd, wow. Only good thing about Gothenburg. Hahahahaha. I was supposed to be at this gig but had to work. Big fail. Hahahahaha

[@The_Nightsong]

Håller med till 10000%!! 😁😁😁😁

[@kingteddytheangry3685]

I am swedish too a sergeant in the swedish artillery PBAT-14 and in these times it realy hits hard to experience real combat probably

[@justinholloway1005]

It's funny how we can learn a different language just by listening to bands like Sabbaton, Rammstein,and some Norse traditional music.

[@okanovicka]

Kunde inte sagt det bättre

[@mascha28swinkels]

I loved this so much that I only listen to the Swedish 🇸🇪 version , learned the lyrics and can actually sing along with almost all of the lyrics even though I’m Dutch 🇳🇱 and don’t understand any other Swedish

[@Wloppish]

If you learn the meaning of all those words you could easily learn Swedish. I’m pretty sure, Dutch and Swedish aren’t that different.

[@cuffzter]

As a swede i can assure you that the english translation on the video are spot on. (unlike the english version that changes the story a bit). That makes it wild to me, how hard this cuts and how poetic the swedish can be sometimes, to tell such a story in lyrics, which has to have a certain rhythm and cadence.

[@494Farrell]

The English version is a good listen and has its own place talking about the tragedy of the overall conflict. But this one just hits different, so much more impactful and personal, and this performance is just incredible, the chorus with just drums and clapping is one the most powerful bits of music have ever listened to.

[@Jonsson474]

@@cuffzterThe captions are a bit off grammatically and the choice of phrasing is a bit strange at times but the context is spot on.

[@chrissibersky4617]

Since I knew Scandinavian, English and German, Dutch wasn't very hard to learn.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

I am an USMC widow. This is the song that moved me so much... I learned it in Swedish so I could be a part of this epic sing-along. I've never looked at the english translation. I don't have to. Tmrw is Veteran's Day in the USA... everyone please take a moment to thank a soldier for me!

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Sorry for your loss and thank you for your service. (Being a military spouse still counts in my book)

[@amygoodson-catlady]

​@@AriasandtheNATIONI appreciate that! I didn't even date for 11yrs...then fate brought me Charlie... he wasn't in the official military, he worked for Blackwater for 8yrs... so he has all the skills I admire in a man, and is still a war Veteren. I had given up on love, but it found me. If anyone is feeling like I did... don't give up! Love can happen when you least expect it!

SABATON - Christmas Truce

Let’s hope he watches it to the very end!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Bolo2028]

Christmas Truce is a must, and it must be attended to to the very end.

[@reuben8190]

Yes, exactly. Please Daniel, till the very end (credits included).

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I CONCUR!

[@susanjw7763]

I concur....play to the end.

[@lenahedberg9055]

An American makes me discover this amazing song. Where ever have i been all these years?

This one is fantastic. It is hard to listen to without tears. Imagine standing there in the crowd. I would probably not been able to sing at all just bawling my eyes out. All concerts should be visited in Gothenburg I have never had a bad one there with any band. There is something with the people there.

[@PvtMiniEntertainment]

Oh everyone cried, or at the least shed a tear. The energy was unreal.

[@michaelnolan6951]

Yay! More Sabaton is always good! We are getting close to Christmas, Christmas Truce is a must! (Features Floor singing the outro) Don't forget the Yarnhub story videos!

[@Pammie1221]

This song gave me chills. Beautiful homage to their brave countrymen. Joakim, Tommy, Hannes, Chris and Par are all excellent musicians and performers. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks, Daniel, for the background info and your respectful reaction.❤

[@jarpa153]

Listen to Tommy Johansson covers of any song on here on YT Celin Dion, the power of love for an example. 😊

[@Pammie1221]

@@jarpa153 He is an awesome performer. I've listened to him and watched his videos and have followed him for a while now. And he's such a nice person!

[@karinboman6877]

A song for all swedes , even for us old ladies who has passed 80 years.

[@mikakarki7989]

Well .... back in those days, we finnjävels 🙂 were a part of the great swedish empire, also @ the battlefield. The "Hackapels" (mostly cavalry) were part of the swedish, multinational army @ 30 yrs War. A term "Hackapels" is rooted from a finns battle cry "Hakkaa Päälle!" = Smash 'em. 🙂

[@carinarodebak9419]

One of the greatest Sabaton songs, sung in my city of birth, Göteborg. Where I also saw Sabaton live first time. Loveliest city in Sweden ❤ Sadly not on this occasion,but in a much smaller venue. We did sing this song, with deep feeling too.

[@danielgustafsson9909]

Götet och Ullevi levererar!😄

[@MegaDog555]

🐕goes to show not only is Sabaton awesome so are Sabaton Fans

[@dropzone9639]

Sabaton has educated all of us about so many battles we have never heard of, but need to know about, and respect warriors from each generation❤

[@Marion.k2]

Yes!!!! Finally!!! Sabaton live is undescribable! Their concerts are a must.

[@nicolailillelund1981]

This hits me straight in the feels.

[@fredrikviking5250]

They sing about the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) .. Where Sweden became a great power 💙💛

[@chriso6719]

There are 2 sets of lyrics for this song. The Swedish lyrics tell the story from an individual Swedish soldier's point of view. The English lyrics tell it from a broader perspective.

[@Templarofsteel88]

The entire album carlous rex is with 2 versions, a Swedish one and a English one. The Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldiers view while the English one is more from a outside observers view.

[@PInnHeAd]

I have been in the crowd for this song at least 5 times, i can say the hit in the feels is different live, you don't well up in the eyes, you well up with pride that you and several thousand others are basically singing praise for fallen warriors of any time really. This is why sabaton is special, i have been to their own festival 5 times and each time they played this, people from so many different countries sang this in swedish. Also, Joakim (the singer) does not have to sing a SINGLE word in this song, if you just listen just a little you can hear how the crowd NEVER stops singing. It is amazing live.

[@Elena_Oraevsky]

Sabaton is the best group. Thanks to the stream, they united fans from all over the world. People learn history from these songs. One of Sabaton's greatest songs. The song brings tears, very strong impression.Thank you for the great review. Sabaton unites!

[@ANDZIGCREAM]

Next stop. Sabaton - Swedish pagans. Live at Wacken open air 2019. Two stages at the same time. One with former members and one with current members AND Tina Guo on cello. What can go wrong? Nothing.

[@marinamucic908]

Definitely. Followed by Tommy's Disneyton version after that 😃

[@miafranlund6982]

You finally got to react to this epic moment in time. This was one of their last concerts before everything got shut down due to covid. I was lucky enough to be there, 10th row on the left. It became a moment that I will cherish forever. Everyone singing, crying... We all bonded together in unison of the epic feel of the moment I will never forget!

[@johncrwarner]

The best music lecture I ever went to was on Arnold Schönberg's String Trio. It involved a string trio playing the piece then the lecturer giving a lecture with the trio playing excerpts then a second play through. The amazing thing was there were SEVEN students in the auditorium and that included me who wasn't a music student. So playing the full song again has a great pedigree in my books.

[@SiwElfsberg]

So powerful, one gets goosebumps 🙏

[@alibennett78]

Not to take away from this powerful song we all have songs we sing about history of our nation we sing these songs as its part of our history love this

[@Wloppish]

That’s true, it’s just that many really feel this one. Paying respect the way Sabaton does with this amazing song, atmosphere and crowd.

[@alibennett78]

@@Wloppish thats it exactly ..Daniel put it perfectly himself he said if u don't feel anything from this song there is something wrong..honestly how can anyone not feel it u can feel it both from what it meant to the crowd and the band .Respect .looking forward to hearing more 💚🤍🧡❤️❤️

A very very powerful show of Swedish Devotion and Glory for their Nation 🇸🇪 And the people singing along loudly, with the lights ✨ Goosebumps..... And of course Hannes on a Tank 🥁 and Tommy's guitar - solo - moment - hair wave 🎸 🤎 I love #SABATON 🖤 They are the Best story-telling!

[@birgittalagerstrom6264]

Im so glad you did this!❤😂 I told you it's epic.

[@alancarter41]

One of the best reactions I have seen. The interaction with the crowd in this song is electric and immense. Sabaton has the rare ability to reach into your soul, pressing all the emotional buttons, making you feel pride and sadness for those who sacrificed all for their homelands. I saw them at the Ryman in Nashville, and they didn't play "En Livstid i Krig" but they did play "Gott Mitt Uns" in Swedish. We didn't do a very good job singing along though. best concert I ever attended. (Epica was awesome as well).

[@ljusfen]

As a Swede, I love this song and our history. It's hard not to get teary-eyed when you hear the song and the lyrics, it goes straight to the heart. You see Swedish audiences love our Swedish gods in Sabaton

[@whirledpeaz5758]

What a perfect song for upcoming Veteran's day. I am a Cold War US Navy Vet and this epitomizes my reasons for enlisting, to ensure my countrymen will never suffer conscription and never experience unlimited warfare. I fear our leadership has utterly failed in this.

[@ingramfuristaz]

A great song!

[@TJC754]

With Christmas coming up give there song Christmas Truce a listen. Absolutely worth the time

[@TommyMartensson666]

I was in this crowd. One of those experiences I always remember. The emotions in all of us was like static in the air.

[@robinkarns7512]

I dearly love Sabaton! They sing the truth! And they have such a great sense of humor! 😊❤

[@Sub-Level28]

This song is amazing and so is this live performance and the crowd. While they didn't perform this one live in Oslo the crowd was sooo there to sing along. Seeing the faces on Joakim, Hannes, Tommy, Chris and Pãr recieving the crowd love was the best. 🙂 And this song is one I eventually break down in tears over. (and Christmas Truce and 1916).

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Please The Christmas Truce and don't stop at the credits keep the credits rolling.

[@lenaengell8528]

From the bortom of my heart: THANK YOU for your wonderful reaction on Sabaton En livstid i krig. I am Swedish, so this song is vert spesial to me. And Sabaton in general, of course. THANKS.

[@brucewilliscroft2539]

Thank you for introducing me to this bad. Awesome band and an awesome reaction. Keep up the great content.

[@andyohil7465]

This song, this performance, these lyrics are phenomenal - we all agree on that. This song touches me so much that I have to be in the right frame of mind to follow it. Every time I watch this video, I am humbled. It gives you so much, although it also makes you very sad that it even exists. Is there anything more meaningless? Hopefully there will be a time without wars...

[@cindiisasc9525]

Thank you for your awesome reaction ❤❤❤❤ this is an important band, the world needs Sabaton ❤️ ♥️

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Glad I clicked on this. Don’t know them. But this is beautiful. ❤ I hate wars but I love soldiers. Those are brave people who decide to protect others by risking their own lives. ❤ And I mourn for all the parents that lose their children because they were sent to fight other people‘s children. (Sometimes for no good reason) 😢 Samaltau by Dimash is also sung from the perspective of a soldier who doesn’t know if he will ever see his country again. There are also additional circumstances, but similar emotions. The song is also hauntingly beautiful and sad.

[@persallnas5408]

Top reaction, Bless u my brother.

[@nocturne7371]

This song is such a great sing-a-long song.

[@criwall]

Was at this show, pretty much in the middle, immensely emotional. Was just before things shut down in 2020, so ended up being the last concert for 18 months. One of my best concert memories. Great reaction, and a nice touch that you got the historical context that this is not just about a Swedish soldier, but rather a young conscripted farmhand and not really a professional soldier or mercenary.

[@alibennett78]

Powerful

Beautiful retaliation. Good you got it in you heart, a good thing. I think that most important is the the testamentary their and your your heart.

[@Templarofsteel88]

Nice reaction, I was at this show (sitting somewhere in the middle of the platform to the left from this view of the stage). Just before this clip started Joakim said no one carries around a lighter anymore but you all have phones right? So turn on your lights for this one. Then at the start he said totally wounderful, my friends, let's sing together en livstid i krig. They had sold out the arena for this show so we were 10766 metalheads in the arena and needless to say, it was one hell of a show.

[@alleninfinity6730]

Can't wait for you to see "Lady of the Dark" the animated story by Sabaton, it is good too. I also am looking forward to Saturday, Floor in Amsterdam. Great reaction!

Another a masterpiece from our metal bards Sabaton🤘👊🫡❤️

[@anderswallin3883]

Man that translation is spot on! I love this song and it gets me every time

I made it and sent it to Sabaton because the old translation looked auto-translated. Only a couple things I wish I had changed but it's good enough.

[@jonashoppa415]

Im Swedish and this song hits hard. It is about the thirty years war from a Swedish soldier's point of view. But its applicable to any time, any war. Easily my favourite Sabaton song.

[@DaP84]

You almost got the title! We never pronounce i/I as "eye", so "En Livsteed Ee Kreeg" 😄

[@Murvelhund]

I never get tired of this song!

[@johandahlgren9890]

We all got our grudges, historically. This makes the hair on my arms to stand, actually. My ancestors perished in a nobleman war 🇸🇪

Ive listened to this song at least 50 times with reactions and in my free time and the power of the crowd here still hits me

[@NorthenLions]

Yeah Sabaton comes to Gothenburg ( the heart of the north ) was there and man our yellow and blue hearts burned

[@margahoekstra1179]

i have seen them back in 2009 in the netherlands where i live we went to tilburg 013!wow not that big of a crowd but a lot of fans i never enjoyed any thing so much they were support act with a other swedish band called hammerfall not so good that night they had another gitarist but sabaton was amazing wish it was only them performing that night they were the best and even better than the recording!primo victoria also a very good song to listen to so i hope you do more of this great band

[@E-jit]

There is a channel that’s called Sabaton History where a historian and the band talks about the history behind the songs if you’re interested.

[@jaynecessford1431]

That was lovely felt it and not read as would be distracting glad you didn’t pause thank you. Xxxxx

[@DONTHASSLETHEHOFF]

Hey man, I used to watch your Inbetweeners reactions on the other channel. Didn't expect to see you here listening to Sabaton!

[@alibennett78]

Sorry if I also might add that all of the journeys rabbit holes we are on at the moment honestly I've never heard of any of the bands or artists including Sabotan.. I'll admit some of the journeys and types of music wouldn't be for me but we all can't like the same thing but I will say this I will listen to them and even if it takes a couple or several songs that I hear that's what it could take for me to say ohh this is different I like this ..all I'm trying to say is my ears are open for it all no harm in listening if it doesn't appeal to me it doesn't but I will as I said take the time to listen I mean no disrespect to anyone we are a community from all different styles of music let's enjoy it

[@UlsterHound77]

The best way to put things into perspective. Some regions of Germany lost 60% of its population. Let's say you are married. You have a sibling, and your parents. You are drafted a week before your wife gives birth. You could return, at the end of the war with your parents dead, your wife dead, your sibling dead, and your child, who you never met, returning to the war alongside you, you never knowing he is your son, as he returns to the son he himself never met. That should put into perspective what a 30 year long war with 8,000,000 dead is like.

This name is a legend in the music film industry.
