The lyrics are very emotional in this version. It describes the 30 years war in Europe (1618-1648) from a young Swedish boys perspective, sent out to a war far from home in a small village to a country he dont even know where it is. One can say that this conflict actually was the first world war, because so many nations was involved. Great reaction! The next Sabaton reaction should be "The Lion from the North" (official version), the story about the Swedish king Gustav Adolf. Sabaton vocalist Joakim Brodén says that this song are the best he ever wrote.
What the lady said in the beginning is reflected in church records. Some families lost their fathers and uncles then the sons got called up and died too. In some cases the fathers who went to war left a pregnant wife at home, and the child also got killed in the war. This is the Swedish records. Apparently the church relaxed the enforcement of monogami for the noble women because the nobility were the officers and they died like flies. So in some parts of Sweden there were 3 women for every 2 men and for a period there accounts of "sharing" men. Keep in mind that Sweden came out on top and never had any battles on it's soil. Germany however was turned into hell on earth. It's perhaps better to look at the 30-years war as 30 years with a massive amounts of smaller wars being fought within that period. When I read and think about these people I'm glad to have heat inside and food every day :)
@@lightdampsweetenough2065 things we swedes take for granted are the church records. Most swedes can do genealogy research and follow their ancestors back in time hundreds of years. Ive traced my scandinavian forefathers back to AD 1350, but earlier than that is nearly impossible.
Hey guys, you found the video that wanted me to see Sabaton in their home country. And I do so in April next year, travelling to Stockholm from Germany. The song title is pronounced" en leevsteed ee kreeg". It is Swedish for a lifetime of war and it is about the 30years war that raged through Europe in the 17th century. I get goosebumps whenever I see this video. I can't wait to see them live in Stockholm. The passion of the Swedish fans for Sabaton is just amazing
We do love Sabaton in Sweden, and I'm sure you will have an amazing experience. I do think Sabaton might have their most passionate fans in Poland though, like, I think they got the "key to the city" or something similar after performning 40-1 (amongst other songs) at what-was-then-named Woodstock, a free rock festival in Poland.
@@SueSueandthewolfman Same here, Ami the Golden Retriever, my shadow, companion, support, and friend, spent over 14 years with me, which is long for a Golden. Its been 9 years now, but it still hurts. Even if it was 14 really good years, except for the last weeks, when it was hard on him it still hurts. It is as they say, they are a, huge, part of our lives, we are their entire life.
This song has 2 sets of lyrics. One in Swedish, tells the story of the 30 Years War from an individual soldiers point of view. The other set in English, tells the story from a broader perspective.
Powerful song…truly about the historical story and lyrics. I love reactor Bisscute’s reaction to this one. She is from Romania and she cries like a baby on this one, really hit home for her.
Someone once told me that Sabaton gives a voice to the dead and remembers those who were forgotten. Honoring the fallen soldiers of broken empires. It's a nice way to look at it.
Gothenburg is the English name but also an old German name for the city of Göteborg. This is both the Swedish and current German spelling and here you got the Umlaut. However the pronunciation is different of course. So, Wolfman, you were on the right track there 🤘🏻.
Ps. We are a little bit patriotic about the border and keeping russians on the other side of it. We have had 24 wars with them and it is 12/12 right now. (they won the last one). They see us as a " small but aggressive country" according to their embassy, wich sounds a bit comforting. Anyways, for mr wolfaman, have you checked out " werewolves of London" with Warren Zevon. Big hugs! Jonas.
How deadly was the thirty years war? Well, something like a third of polands population was wiped out, which tends to be a sore point in swedish history... It was one of the biggest wars in european history, and sweden was a major player in it (they were the leader of the protestant league)
Look, Sweden is good on energy and heat and barely uses gas at all. Our problems are mostly of the home-made and first-world variety. It's Ukraine that deserves your condolences. We're fine, homes are insulated, heating centralized, redundancy available and we are actually exporting power to the rest of Europe. Edit: the 30yrs war was pretty bad, there was a severe reduction in population that took place over a large amount of land (1/3rd of Germany died basically). Us Europeans have been killing each other for quite a while.
EPIC SHOW with a great audience 🕯️💥🙌👏 One line I think you would understand if you think about it... Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem 💙💙💙 Father and son never coming home 😢 This is so 💪🤘 🤍 SABATON 🤍 ❤️🌻🦋😘
Thanks for your reaction. I was born and raised in Göteborg (Gothenburg) second largest city in Sweden as a Johansson. Sorry that you don't get to see anything of our city in this video. In February I get to see Sabaton live in Göteborg, but in a smaller venue than this one. To see Tommy and the others live!! PS You are getting better at saying Johansson now.
Oh wow! I'm so jealous you get to see him and have his last name and live in his home country lol - I hope you have a great time and you must must must report back to me! Suesue
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 Joakim (the singer) asked everyone to hold up their cellphones since no one carries around a lighter anymore. Going by what was in the newspapers (and online) after this show we were around 10 766 people at the arena that night. This was just before covid broke out and started canceling shows (had for once tickets for 5 shows and 1 festival that year and this was the only one i got to attend)
Hey Guys! I finally had the time to watch this reaction. Embarassingily I suggested this video to You on Your next reaction of Sabaton, failing to check You already did this. To tell You the truth, I was quite socially lubricated, while reacting to that one, "Lion from the North". And ok, no tears this time, but the lights were still very bright... That being said, I can tell You I like to visit some sites in The Czech Republic, with my Czech Wife, which were visited earlier by Hakkapeliitat, (The Finnish troops of Swedish Army) several hundred years ago. "Sorry for looting this town, really!" Anyways, as today the 6th of December, we celebrate in Finland our 105th year of Independence, I wish You to have a glorious day! Let Freedom Reign!
The 30 year war! When Sweden fought the Catholics in Germany 🇩🇪 The Thirty Years' War, was one of the longest and most destructive conflicts in European history, lasting from 1618 to 1648. Fought primarily in Central Europe, an estimated 4.5 to 8 million soldiers and civilians died as a result of battle, famine, and disease, while some areas of what is now modern Germany experienced population declines of over 50%. Casualties and losses Combat deaths: 110,000 in Swedish service. 80,000 in French service. 30,000 in Danish service. 50,000 other. Combat deaths: 120,000 in Imperial service. 30,000 in Bavarian service. 30,000 other. Military deaths from disease: 700,000-1,350,000. Total civilian dead: 3,500,000-6,500,000. Total dead: around4,500,000-8,000,000.
The Thirty Years War (1618-48) was a religous war between the katholic and the evangelic side. It was fought in the middle of Europe, mostly Germany, leaving the land devasted with around 1/3 of the population dead. Sweden was on the evangelic side and one major player in the war. If you was drawn to army, you were lost for your family with nearly no contact possibilities until the war ended and the army was disbanded. Remember at this time: no home phone calls possible, no traveling to home for a vacation possible, because it would take months to reach home (mail too). But even this was not possible, because traveling long distances (+100km !) was very dangerous.
Wolfman bro! Did you understand this lyrics to this song? It doesn't feel like that. Time to open your heart and this song is like your National Anthem so maybe you will understand!!! Love bro
Thing is Sweden was at war long before the 30 year war started and were at war for a hundred more years, During this wars we lost more than 30% of our population from war alone. The thing is the camps with food and medics and repair guys and sutch had wifes and children with them and since the war was so long, the children grew up and went to war, hence father and son.
Å ja. Didn't expect this song but liked your reaction to it. Personal opinion: It's their best and most powerful song. Probably because it's in Swedish. They make songs about war, which is a very serious topic, but sometimes it's hard for me to take them seriously because their English lyrics, honestly... hmm, how do I put it? - leave a lot to be desired. The subtitles in the video are surprisingly correct. I'm used to seeing Swedish songs butchered when translated into English. Not the case here. P.S. Å hej, Hannes. Hur mår frun din? Vi är fortfarande lite bekymrade. Bara lite...
If you're Swedish (Jag är svensk/norsk) that might in part be bcs of a sort of language "barrier" thing for lack of a better word or bias. It's natural for people to be able to get more feeling from our native language and to add to that many of the other European languages seem to have a particular quality of specifically sounding more Raw than English
When I used to write darker poetry I'd always do it in Swedish bcs just nothing could beat Swedish with how much more raw and gritty you can make it feel with few words but whenever I want to be more specific, explain or describe something I'll use English bcs it's much better for that in part bcs of its more extensive vocabulary and then maybe just me personally but I switch to English when I want to express affection bcs with that feeling I feel Swedish is lacking
@@pink_alligator I'm not Swedish, I'm just a weirdo who has wasted a lot of his precious time learning this completely useless language. :) I understand it well enough to appreciate poetry, though every time I try to write or speak, I either mess it up or make it svorsk. :) To me, most languages sound better than English does - both in singing and in general. Also, the more grammatically complex a language is, the better it is suited for writing poetry. German and Swedish are my favourites. The reason people write lyrics in English, even when it's not their native language, is because they want more people to understand them - which basically means that they want to be more mainstream. "Mainstream" and "metal" don't sound good when put into the same sentence. Quality may suffer because of this. I wish more people would just write good lyrics in their native tongues rather than mediocre lyrics in English.
A band like this is very important, to put the light on the worst failiure of man, war........ Young men killing each other for some old men disagreements is just insanely wrong. War is humans worst failiure PERIOD.
Hi guys. I'm sorry to say you have not fixed your screen size. You now have black areas all around the screen. Try opening a new tab, and then go to your own website. You should see what we see there. Good day to you two.
Thx Jeff - it is a little better than the small box though right? We depend on help from our viewers to figure these things out, because we are not very good, technically lol
@@SueSueandthewolfman Actually it is worse, You are getting more black and less you. I have a question. Did you and Sue set up your site months ago? If you did you had the skills to install OBS by yourselfs. If that is true, my suggestion would be to uninstall OBS. Then reinstall it. It will clean all the modifications you have added. For the first 6-7 months your vids were fine. So it was done properly at the start. This would eliminate the need to find the setting that's causing this. I saw on this video that as you closed out of the video and the windows blue screen with your programs on it, taskbar at the bottom was all full screen and correct. Your computer is definitely set correctly. If you chose to uninstall OBS, windows has a system to do it, it's way or the highway. I could tell you how.
I’m not so sure that you are “a regular married couple”. You guys are awesome, and have something rare that should be cherished and can be admired by many. But then again, you ARE from Arkansas (kidding!). Love ya!
Thank you for caring. But this winter we have loaded up, both with sticks and stones. Sticks for heat and stones for mr Putin, if he cares to come over. Watch "Swedish pagans", with Sabaton. He will be surprised. Love to see u two react together, makes me feel like there is some hope. God speed and greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden.
No it is not the same at all, Invading afganistan was not a peer on peer war at all.... the 30 years war was a war between the superpowers of europe, all with the same technology... This song is about the fact that 20% of all europeans died during the 30 years war... Now imagine 20% of american population killed, that would equal to 60 million dead...
I think this is the war where the Swedish people ended up overthrowing the king and becoming a republic. Ever since then they have been a passifist nation
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? lyricstranslate.com
We‘ve been at war since 2001, says the man in his recliner, that hasn’t had his house bombed or raided in that time - or went hungry. It doesn’t seem to me that you know what the hardships of war are. Neither did happen to me, and i am very thankful for that.
Wolfman has had some severe neurological events and memory problems. He actually was a history major in college, and used to know all of this. I mentioned after that that it was very different being in that war than what he was talking about, and he agreed. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Sue.
If this song was played id totally weep next to my gf. I would not be able to hold my tears back if the male part would start to sob, It is so sad I feel like our female counterparts don't understand. We are the ones sent to war. we are the ones who pay with our lives, Why would we like to... But we go first. And I do feel proud for my countries history ,what they whent trough. I reallly do and I HOPE I DONT HAVE TO. BUt i WIILL if my neighbours are attacked..
The 30 year war was by far one of the worst wars throughout history (not counting ww2 for obvious reasons, since that will surpass any other war just by the insanity of all of it) but the 30 year war comes pretty close to horrid. Protestants versus Catholics. Germany versus Roman Empire, and soon a lot of European countries joined in, including Sweden on the Protestant side. But that wasn't the end of wars for Sweden, since they had already been in so many wars prior and just continued to wage war until Carolus Rex died basically. So almost another 100 years of war.
I don't like the translation though so I tried to do one myself that I think fits the melody better and still keep the meaning of the lyrics. Let me know what you think. I turn around to see my homestead fade away I wish I could have stayed there, just another day Not yet a man, though called to arms to do my part Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart With kinsmen from my village I went out to war In a world of flames ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who won't be home again But who mourns over me? Went out to war for Sweden, baptized in blood No gallantry awaits us, dying in the mud In fields where friends has fallen, there’ll be no songs Our fate once more we challenge, and marching on Far away from home (To be baptized and die in war) In a world of flames ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who won't be home again But who mourns over me? And when my time is finally here Who’ll sing my song? They’re fighting on I hope to die without much fear I fall asleep, and fade away And never wake up ‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man I give my life, for my motherland But who’s missing me? So see me as them the husband and friend the father and son, who won't be home again But who mourns over me?
"I wish I could have stayed there, just another day" Okay, you just changed out the lyrics completley here, no correlations to what they are singing in Swedish. "Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart" So, you were correct until the comma, then you just changed out the lyrics completley once again (Still no correlation). " 'Cause " You actually had to shorten the correct spelling, The correct spelling is; Because. Actually, the translation on the video is just a lot better, Sorry for shattering your version.
First time I’ve disliked your reaction. It just seemed like you weren’t ready to focus. Later in your reaction you got into your thoughts. Bumpy start to this one

14,000 people all singing the first verse! Awesome!
Almost right..they sing the whole song with sabaton and you can hear through the whole song
10 766 if you go by the statistics.
I was there
@@Templarofsteel88 Looks like there are more!

It describes the 30 years war in Europe (1618-1648) from a young Swedish boys perspective, sent out to a war far from home in a small village to a country he dont even know where it is.

Great reaction!
The next Sabaton reaction should be "The Lion from the North" (official version), the story about the Swedish king Gustav Adolf.
Sabaton vocalist Joakim Brodén says that this song are the best he ever wrote.
"Lion from the North" aka Tommy Johansson. 🦁
Good choice! 👍
I agree with Sabaton vocalist, its their best song - EVER!
The Swedish version give the view from a Swedish soldier's view while the English is more of an outsider's view.

A lifetime of war is actually relating to being born while the war was going on, being sent to the war and dying in the same war. Thus the lifetime.

Young men killing each other for some old men disagreements is just insanely wrong. War is humans worst failiure PERIOD.
Love your reactions !
Thank you! 💜
Sabaton is power full live
In 1618 the average life was much less than today so it could well be a person's lifetime
Hi guys. I'm sorry to say you have not fixed your screen size. You now have black areas all around the screen. Try opening a new tab, and then go to your own website. You should see what we see there. Good day to you two.
Thx Jeff - it is a little better than the small box though right? We depend on help from our viewers to figure these things out, because we are not very good, technically lol
@@SueSueandthewolfman Actually it is worse, You are getting more black and less you. I have a question. Did you and Sue set up your site months ago? If you did you had the skills to install OBS by yourselfs. If that is true, my suggestion would be to uninstall OBS. Then reinstall it. It will clean all the modifications you have added. For the first 6-7 months your vids were fine. So it was done properly at the start. This would eliminate the need to find the setting that's causing this. I saw on this video that as you closed out of the video and the windows blue screen with your programs on it, taskbar at the bottom was all full screen and correct. Your computer is definitely set correctly. If you chose to uninstall OBS, windows has a system to do it, it's way or the highway. I could tell you how.

I’m not so sure that you are “a regular married couple”. You guys are awesome, and have something rare that should be cherished and can be admired by many. But then again, you ARE from Arkansas (kidding!). Love ya!
Thank you for caring. But this winter we have loaded up, both with sticks and stones. Sticks for heat and stones for mr Putin, if he cares to come over. Watch "Swedish pagans", with Sabaton. He will be surprised. Love to see u two react together, makes me feel like there is some hope. God speed and greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden.
God be with you Jonas! 💜
No it is not the same at all, Invading afganistan was not a peer on peer war at all.... the 30 years war was a war between the superpowers of europe, all with the same technology... This song is about the fact that 20% of all europeans died during the 30 years war... Now imagine 20% of american population killed, that would equal to 60 million dead...
I think this is the war where the Swedish people ended up overthrowing the king and becoming a republic. Ever since then they have been a passifist nation
🤟🏻🔥
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?

Can you react on Ghost - Square Hammer 👍
check out there woodstock vids....they are live and awesome
We‘ve been at war since 2001, says the man in his recliner, that hasn’t had his house bombed or raided in that time - or went hungry. It doesn’t seem to me that you know what the hardships of war are. Neither did happen to me, and i am very thankful for that.
Wolfman has had some severe neurological events and memory problems. He actually was a history major in college, and used to know all of this. I mentioned after that that it was very different being in that war than what he was talking about, and he agreed. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Sue.
@@SueSueandthewolfmansorry to hear that, i take everything back, just rubbed me the wrong way. Please disregard my comment, my apologies.
@@georgeb8976 no worries at all! Be blessed George 💜
If this song was played id totally weep next to my gf.
I would not be able to hold my tears back if the male part would start to sob, It is so sad I feel like our female counterparts don't understand.
We are the ones sent to war.
we are the ones who pay with our lives, Why would we like to... But we go first.
And I do feel proud for my countries history ,what they whent trough. I reallly do and I HOPE I DONT HAVE TO. BUt i WIILL if my neighbours are attacked..
The 30 year war was by far one of the worst wars throughout history (not counting ww2 for obvious reasons, since that will surpass any other war just by the insanity of all of it) but the 30 year war comes pretty close to horrid.
Protestants versus Catholics.
Germany versus Roman Empire, and soon a lot of European countries joined in, including Sweden on the Protestant side. But that wasn't the end of wars for Sweden, since they had already been in so many wars prior and just continued to wage war until Carolus Rex died basically. So almost another 100 years of war.

I don't like the translation though so I tried to do one myself that I think fits the melody better and still keep the meaning of the lyrics. Let me know what you think.
I turn around to see my homestead fade away
I wish I could have stayed there, just another day
Not yet a man, though called to arms to do my part
Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart
With kinsmen from my village I went out to war
In a world of flames
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who won't be home again
But who mourns over me?
Went out to war for Sweden, baptized in blood
No gallantry awaits us, dying in the mud
In fields where friends has fallen, there’ll be no songs
Our fate once more we challenge, and marching on
Far away from home
(To be baptized and die in war)
In a world of flames
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who won't be home again
But who mourns over me?
And when my time is finally here
Who’ll sing my song?
They’re fighting on
I hope to die without much fear
I fall asleep, and fade away
And never wake up
‘Cause war surely can, devastate a man
I give my life, for my motherland
But who’s missing me?
So see me as them
the husband and friend
the father and son, who won't be home again
But who mourns over me?
"I wish I could have stayed there, just another day" Okay, you just changed out the lyrics completley here, no correlations to what they are singing in Swedish.
"Will I see my home again, I wish with all my heart" So, you were correct until the comma, then you just changed out the lyrics completley once again (Still no correlation).
" 'Cause " You actually had to shorten the correct spelling, The correct spelling is; Because.
Actually, the translation on the video is just a lot better, Sorry for shattering your version.
beautiful thank you
First time I’ve disliked your reaction. It just seemed like you weren’t ready to focus. Later in your reaction you got into your thoughts. Bumpy start to this one
Yeah sorry about that - we’re not always on our game these days - plz stick around 💜 Susan
