Legendary hockey player Börje Salming by the fire place.

I love how they pay him to be in it for a second

This is one of the best commercials I've ever seen, I still remember it, and it's from like a decade ago. It's just amazing. As a Swede, you can really feel this imagary and lyrics deep down, we all know this so well. This is us. The subtitles aren't very good though, I feel like almost half the song gets lost in translation. The thing about this song describing Sweden so well, in the dark months, is that it mentions so many places. From someone not living here, those places means nothing, so I guess that's why they translated it like this, but to me, I think that removes a bit of the soul of the song. Hope you could check out this other version of the same song, with both Swedish and English lyrics, and with the amazing singer Sarah Dawn Finer: "Vintersaga - Sarah Dawn Finer on TheSwedishLad's channel"

[@cynic7049]

Yes, they lose a LOT of references, but some would be hard to catch if you are not from here: "På andra sidan sundet börjar världen" Literally: on the other side of the straits the world starts. Translatd as: on the other side, another world. But from the meaning it is very clear that "sundet" refers to Öresund/the Sound not just any strait, on the other side is Denmark and Europe and yes the rest of the World. A lot of similar translation where the literal ones would be lost for most people not from here, specific places replaced be generic ones. And the song do a very good work in catching the Swedish soul. I somethings think it would make a much better National hymn than our current one

[@swedishmeatball4382]

Yeah, the subtitles are AWFUL. Completely misses the point of the lyrics. Woun't even grade them 1/10 because they are so, so bad. Why even bother? Might as well go full Sven-Melander-translating-Casablanca

[@nocturne7371]

This song was not written for Volvo, they changed the lyrics a bit to suit the ad. The Swedish lyrics talks of specific places in Sweden but the English captions said things like a local bar or a border station, but in the lyrics she names the specific places. The lyrics takes you all over Sweden. Ted Ström wrote this in 1984, and several artists have had chart topping success covering it. My favourite being Jerry Williams' version. Probably because it hits a chord in all Swedes inner feelings.

[@RandomerFellow]

Yes! Recommended! Its here on YT; Vintersaga by Jerry Williams (Tor Halvor Solheim - best sound)

[@uncommonman]

Imo Monika Törnell version is the best.

[@susannenymanback]

Yep! Jerrys is my best version aswell. ❤

[@birgittae9046]

Volvo have also made an ad with Zlatan (the famous football player) and our national hymn that is really good too

[@monikawigers8158]

Och Volvo trucks reklam med Jean Claude van Damme är rätt häftig med.

[@RobinAsp77]

This was like a story beeing told. Beautiful. Sweden is a long country and the temperature differs a lot from north to south. The part where Timbuktu (swedish artist) walks on the sea between sweden and denmark is a rare thing to be able to do becuase most winters its not that cold.

[@bjoardar]

Thank you for your reaction. I've been thinking about making this request for a good while. I really love the way they portray Sweden in this video, and the song really brings it home.

[@lailalightfeather3234]

Love your norwegian Marius sweater! 👍🇳🇴🇸🇪

[@theresenydahl9531]

Thank you for another great video reaction ❤🇸🇪

[@marithadman7168]

It was a Swedish singer called Monica Törnell who made this song famous. But it was written by Ted Ström 1984. In the later years another singer called Jerry Williams did it too. It's best by Monica Törnell I think,then Jerry Williams

[@MissMcGuyver]

Agree 🥰👌🏼

[@andretollefsen]

Great Norwegian Marius sweater you are wearing!

[@camillaa-k6179]

❤

[@fredrikwallvik5265]

Original song! Monica Törnell, Vintersaga

[@tooswedish4u380]

But Jerry Williams cover is better :) Subtitles is not correct. In Vintersaga they sing about diffrent citys in Sweden. But in the video subtiles was something else :p

[@zpitzer]

original is by Ted Ström.

[@finnenjr]

Jerry Williams, AKA. Erik Sven Fernström. RIP

[@milesdust3465]

Check out "Volvo for life" and you will really get your head blown. Cheers from Italy!

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

A bit surprised that Monica let them use her arguably best selling song for this, it's not like she likely is short of money, but perhaps she just likes Volvo

[@rickardelimaa]

Her version was a cover, so I don't think she had any saying in this.

[@henriklundstrom4543]

try too find the vintersaga video made by Jerry williams

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]
