Can we all appreciate that Daniella still makes vids even though she has a cold? I'm usually too lazy to haul myself out of bed when my nose starts running-
I love this song much more than our British one. As someone who loves the hills (fells) where I live in the north of the UK, it seems much more meaningful than going on about the Queen!

Wow, thank you for sharing. I am still learning how to pronounce every word of the song and this helps a lot. I've never been to Sweden, but in this song and in the photos I saw, I could feel that Sweden is indeed, "vanaste land uppo jord"😍😍😍
Pronunciation is definetly the hardest part about learning Swedish. Check out our videos on pronunciation. We have one for every vowel and someo more 😁
Nice channel I will watch it. I have the privilde to hear swedish on vacation before mutation of a voice years 15-16. The last is just a work with knowledge with vocabulary.
I think we have to look at the lyrics through the time when they were written, during the first half of the 1800’s. No central heating, life expectancy still quite low, years of bad harvest > famine > people leaving the country for America aso. Sweden had just lost Finland to Russia, and I’m sure there were Swedes who were reminiscing the “golden days” during the 1600’s when Sweden was one of the biggest and mightiest countries in Europe. I’m sure Sweden still was a nice country during the 1800’s, but we have to remember that it was a Sweden without all the commodities of today - but also without the greatness of “the old golden days” …
Tbh, sure Finland is a sovereign state but we in Sweden still suffer from that defeat as well as you. They burnt down our entire east coast. Since then Russia is always the direction our statutes point at and gor good reason We founded your state (Kievan Rus) but you will always be our enemy.
Something I like about the anthem is how it seems so at peace, more often these old national anthems will be about rallying the people to reconquer old glory, but Du Gamla just ends up being timeless if you consider the Sweden of today, it tells you how awesome Sweden is to live in; even if it's now a mid-tier regional power best known internationally for furniture, pop music and video games. It's still beautiful! It's all very perfectly Lagom, som man säger, I think other Swedes get it
I don't think the part about the great old days is necessarily talking about the people's general level of comfort, but of glory, for instance the glory that comes from pushing through the harsh times of the pre-industrial north.
jag tror att de referar till stormaktstiden, de kan väll göra det iallafall. Kanske vikingatiden, stormaktstiden tänker jag på. när jag hör det men det kasnke bara är jag.
I love Swedish, and I could some years also sing four stanzas. That was very strange as I never have lived in Sweden but in Denmark.... but I never was able to sing one stanza of the Danish anrhem.....
Awesome! In fact, I just heard it again today right before Sweden women’s football team won against Australia 4-2 & before Sweden won against the USA on Wednesday, 3-0 (!).
Considering Polish anthem being like "ööööh we're great and we're going to win every fight, Germans bad, ööööh", I love Swedish anthem way too much maybe 😂 Jonna Jinton made a wonderful version of "Du gamla, du fria", in my opinion it really fits the meaning!
Thanks Daniella that's really useful. I think most Brits know the first verse of the British National Anthem but not the 2nd one. It's a very nice Swedish song, I think they should make it officially your National Anthem, but why did they not do that?
I like this national anthem a lot (is in my top 10), especially its tune, but its words are nice too. I can actually sing a significant amount of it just from hearing it enough times. And I'm not even actively learning Swedish - though it's a nice language, no disagreement there. I think, the "glorious old times" is probably a reference to the days when Sweden had an empire, when it was a major power player in Europe, the days of Gustavus Adolphus, that era.
I'd also like to have explained the rest of the anthem, as it's sung here: ruclips.net/video/eaIUE4u4JWc/видео.html "Med Gud skall jag kämpa för hem och för härd, för Sverige den kära fostersjorden" etc.
Here come more viewes for Jonna Jinton and her version of this song, because if you actually search it in RUclips , hers is like top 3 results and of course everyone who is researching something about Sweden has come across the song. It is one of the best national songs I know! Very inspirational and without political sh*t in it! Well done Sweden! 🌲👌😊
if it is accepted by the people as the national anthem, then it is the national anthem. Not everything needs to be an official announcement by the government!
One of my favourite anthems. And don't worry, with global warming You might have a good chance to live in Sweden and in relatively warm country at the same time, especially that the world doesn't seem to be doing too much about it ;)
I am American, and enjoy listening to National Anthems.....by far the Swedish National Anthem...is my most favorite....so simple and beautiful....❤

If you are that much into nature then you are going to love Sweden and the Swedish lifestyle :D
Jinkies (about the Queen)
We need a new anthem now.
I love your personal insights and comments, the way you share your thoughts in your lessons.🤣
I appreciate this comment! Thank you! Will do more of that then 🙂
Tack så mycket för videon! Jag tucker om Svensk hymne :)
Grazie tante per il video! Mi piace l’inno nazionale svedese :)

With this I´ve just confirmed that although Swedish looks like a magnificient language, the pronunciation it´s hella difficult.
Pronunciation is definetly the hardest part about learning Swedish. Check out our videos on pronunciation.

@@FunSwedish its not
Come on all of the world was like that back then. We have Built since and are proud of it .will live and die for sweden and also Finland if needed.

I always thought that ABBA's "Dancing Queen" was the national anthem. ;-)
Well she did say that "Du gamla du fria" "technically" isn't the official national anthem, so ;D
I don't think the part about the great old days is necessarily talking about the people's general level of comfort, but of glory, for instance the glory that comes from pushing through the harsh times of the pre-industrial north.
Stort tack att du ens tar dig tiden till detta.
❤
What a beautiful national song it is after you explained every single word. 🇸🇪💛💙
Glad you like it!💛💙
@@FunSwedish I did, and all your videos are informative and fun. Can't wait to visit Sweden.

Jag elskar Jonna Jintons version 🧡🧡🧡 tack så mycket för att förklara 🙏🏼⭐️
😍😍😍
Do you think you can do an explain video of Aland Islands national anthem? It's also in Swedish and not much talked about on the internet.
Du är rolig 😂 i love you girl Thanks for you’re teachings
I'm so glad to hear :) Tack till dig för att du tittar på våra videos :)

Thankyou so much for your lovely videos! Following from South America - ecuador! Where in Sweden are you?
Awesome! In fact, I just heard it again today right before Sweden women’s football team won against Australia 4-2 & before Sweden won against the USA on Wednesday, 3-0 (!).
Nice! 👏👏
Can you suggest a video or content that shows how to properly fold the swedish flag for storage? All i find is how the US flag is folded.
I think we rarely think about folding flags 😅
I love nationalsång
And i love norden

Heard this a few times at these women's Euros as I've been following Sweden and really enjoy it so it's nice to see what it means.
