    The 2 versions of this song truly express the Sabaton's principle of oppose war, honor soliders - the English version sings about the 30 years war in a very negative light, while the Swedish version immortalizes an unknown soldier and his forgotten peers.
    "Has man gone insane" is the most powerful line in the English lyric, while "Men vem sörjer mig?" ("But who'll mourn for me") is easily what makes most people tear up in the Swedish version.

    For our none Swedish speaking friends :)
    "I look around and see my home disappear
    My time at home now feels far too short
    Only youth, hardly a man when duty called me
    If I get to see my home again, I do not know
    Among relatives from my village, I went out to battle
    And the world burned
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home
    But who mourns me?
    Went out in battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood
    Out there, death awaits, not heroism
    In fields where relatives fall, no song is heard
    Challenging our destinies, once again
    Far from home
    Be baptized and die in battle
    And the world burned
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home
    But who mourns me?
    "Guitar solo"
    And when my time has run out
    Who cares then?
    They are struggling
    Does a soldier get a dignified end?
    Get to sleep
    Disappear
    And never wake up
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home
    But who mourns me?"

    I don't speak the language, and to be honest before I found this band, I never cared. I also didn't care much about history. This was the very first song I ever heard by this band, the Swedish version. I was already in a particularly rough patch in my life, and then I found this randomly. I broke down. I could not understand a word of it, but it crushed me that night. I've always believed music affects so many people because it's pure energy and that night, it could not have been more true for me. I searched everything I could about this song and band that brought me quite literally to my knees that night. I found so many more songs, about history, things I never knew. It was the beginning of my absolute love for them. My fathers side of the family was in the military, and I never really cared in the past. This band changed that. I can't explain it really, and to the average netzien, it likely sounds like the ramblings of a madman. I accept that. I wanted to say that Sabaton, you changed quite a bit for me that night and those going forward. Thank you. I hope one day I will find the courage and the means to see you in concert for myself. Best wishes to you and yours.

    The reason the Swedish empire was so successful is because, as mentioned in the lyrics of the song, the soldiers knew and fought for eachother. Not for the king, even though he was a formidable man. These were men from villages who fought among other men who probably went to the same church as they did every Sunday. Sweden only had 1 million inhabitants at this time.. the power of friendship. "Among kinsmen from my village i left for battle" this song is so damn powerful and historically accurate.

    I know some people have already posted translated lyrics.
    I'll try to offer some with more sense for meaning than the direct translation can offer. Hopefully it will be useful. :)
    I'll add (some text within parenthesis), for things that the swedish lyrics imply, but does not actually spell out and _(some annotations in italics where I think an elaboration or explanation is warranted)_
    I look back and see my home disappear (in the distance)
    My time at home now feels way too short
    Merely (a) youth, barely a man when duty called me
    I don't know if I get to see my home again _(the swedish version is backwards to this; 'If I get to see my home again, I know not', a more archaic way of speaking)_
    Among (friends and family) of my village I went to battle _('fränder' is an archaic swedish word encompassing both friends and family, with the friends implied to be as close as family)_
    And the world (was) burning
    Because the war can _('Kriget' translates as 'the war', 'krig' is 'war'. Swedish uses ending suffixes instead of the prefixes usually used in english to distinguish general from specific)_
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland _('Fosterland' technically means 'land of my birth', but the modern meaning is homeland)_
    But who (will) miss me
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    (A) father, (a) son, who never will come home
    But who (will) mourn me?
    _(Here I would say 'den' should be omitted for the english translation. The literal translation would be 'it', a more contextual translation would be 'one', as in "So see me as one - a husband, a friend". However, in practical terms 'den' is just used to make the lyrics rhyme in swedish and can be omitted without any meaning getting lost.)_
    (I) Went into battle for Sweden, (and) was baptized in blood
    Out there death awaits, not bravery _(bit tricky here 'hjältemod' is closer to 'bravery' or 'heroic bravery'. Heroics would be 'hjältedåd' or 'heroic deeds')_
    In the field where friends and family fall, no song is heard _(military term, 'i fält'/'in the field' means not in the barracks/home base, not always a literal field of grass or battlefield)_
    (We) go out (into battle) against the odds, one more time
    _(Tricky last line. Literally it's "we challenge our destinies, once again" but in swedish to "utmana ödet" implies doing something stupid or foolish, implying that they go out into battle again despite it being a stupid thing to do, implying further that the fighting is hard and/or things are not going very well for them.)_
    Far from home
    _(background chorus):_ (We are) baptized and killed in battle
    _(Combined with the the line about destiny/odds in the preceding verse, and the far away from home sung by Jocke immediately before, "Döpas och dö i strid" implies that getting baptized in blood and then getting killed is what they can expect, or are expecting. Hence the lyrics of the refrain about how war can destroy a man.)_
    And the world (was) burning
    Because the war can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who (will) miss me
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    (A) father, (a) son, who never will come home
    But who (will) mourn me?
    And when my time has run out
    Who will care then?
    They fight on
    Will a soldier get a dignified end? _(The literal translation is 'worthy end' but the meaning is 'dignified end')_
    (Be) Allowed to fall asleep
    Fade away
    And never wake (up)
    _(The implication here is the soldier questioning if any of them will ever be allowed to die a peaceful death, because the war is raging on with no end in sight.)_
    Because the war can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who (will) miss me
    So see me as
    A husband, a friend
    (A) father, (a) son, who never will come home
    But who (will) mourn me?

      I would applaud you if you could hear me for your good efforts , only nitpicking I could find was about ödet. In my humble opinion the line "don't tempt fate" could replace utmana inte ödet. And in this case it would be "We tempt our fate's , yet again"
      As in they are aware you shouldn't , but yet they still do.

Melody, theme, language, meaning, all of this came into a masterpiece of a song! This concert footage is just wow! Made me tear up a bit at the beginning, all these lights in perspective, such an awesome crowd of people, singing the lyrics on their own, the recent events that made me fear for my young life... By law, people my age have to serve one year in the army. And this song perfectly represents what I feel. This war is terrifiying.

    I look around and see my home disappear
    My time at home now feels far too short
    Only youth, hardly a man when duty called me
    If I get to see my home again, I do not know
    Among relatives from my village, I went out to battle
    And the world burned
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home
    But who mourns me?
    Went out in battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood
    Out there, death awaits, not heroism
    In fields where relatives fall, no song is heard
    Challenging our destinies, once again
    Far from home
    Be baptized and die in battle
    And the world burned
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home
    But who mourns me?
    And when my time has run out
    Who cares then?
    They are struggling
    Does a soldier get a dignified end?
    Get to sleep
    Disappear
    And never wake up
    For the war it can
    Destroy a man
    I give my life for my homeland
    But who misses me?
    So see me as it
    A husband, a friend
    Father and son never coming home

    For any potential history buffs out there (Who might be interested in Swedish history) to have some context to all of this. During the time period this album is taking place, the common people were incredibly poor. I'd guess that an aprox 90-95% of the SWE-population were farmers, farmhands or indentured servers of various forms, people outside of the wealthy elite had very little power and democracy was hardly conceptionalized at all as the monarchy and church held most of the power. People were overburden with taxation as many of the Swedish kings waged wars which forced many young men who had only just started having some leverage in their own homesteads and farms out to die in wars they had very little to say about at all, many of them hardly ever even reached the battlefields at all since a lot of the war camps they were assigned to were raging with various diseases.
    So I find a very deep poetic meaning in this entire album when I have the history to compare it to, Sabaton indeed sparks the interest to dig deeper into history with such a way of making history live through their music.
