Nice reaction, you and Sabaton made me cry! My first language bis Spanish and I'm learning the English language and your video was help me too much! Thanks for that 👏
The translation is good its just the difficulty of translating swedish too english due too the swedish language likes too combine words like for example "Buss stop" meanwhile in swedish "Busshålsplats
“Lest We Forget” is Sabaton’s mantra. I’m a 68 year old American Metal/Rock head biker dude and I cry every time and I sing along with the English subtitles. So don’t even think to apologize or be embarrassed your reaction to this was exactly what most who few this have, human emotions of loss, hope, love of all that have sacrificed because of war. Remembering those who have parishad in war we feel all the human emotions for those that can never feel again. Hopefully by remembering the past we will have a much better future, Lest We Forget is three of the most powerful words! God Bless and Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hell yeah man, I may be a young stupid 19 year old but I’m so glad I found sabaton, their music is so amazing and admirable how they write and sing these beautiful songs that allow us to remember those who have fought, protected, or have fallen for their country and their families. The one motto I live by is “hate the war, but love the soldiers” they deserve every bit of respect, no matter the country.
@@Argyle117 from this old metalRock head to you, your not young and stupid if you see, feel and understand how important the past sacrifices of others is throughout the history of mankind. In fact I see you will have a great future of fulfillment and happiness! God Bless & Rock On Stay Safe!🙏👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Here is a version that has better translated subtitles as well as a one minute introduction to the story behind the song: ruclips.net/video/wvtzQbMfgZM/видео.html
They actually have two different versions of this song. This one (the Swedish version) is told from the point of view of a Swedish soldier. The other version (the English version "A Lifetime Of War") is told from a general, European point of view. Same song, two different stories told.
To start with i am swedish and sabaton fan. Love history! So interesting. To be honest Sweden fought many big wars against Russia and other countries back in year 1550-1809. Also against Poland,Germany and Denmark/Norway. Often it was war against all these countries at same time. In some way or another they made different unions against us. So so many young Swedish men was killed during this campaigns. Sweden was a real war nation through 400 years. Sweden was also a much bigger country too and expanded wide all around Baltic sea. It all ended when lost the last war against Russia 1809. After that last war long peace to now in time... Sabatons meaning in this song is to tell a story about all swedish soldiers that died in this multiple and genuinely horrible wars. Historians talk about 1 miljon swedish men killed. Its how Sabaton sing the text..." Went out for Sweden in battle... but never coming home "
What gets me are the conspripted at the age of 13 leaving their family to work the farm without him. Just to die in a fucking war among his equals for the sake of a king. The dudes who did that for us who live today, unbelievable. I wish more people went to museums/exhibitions and such and learned more what heroes we have. How much blood was spilled for kings. It was idiotic but due to that sacrifice we have what we have. I can't even...
First off, Your pronounciation of En Livstid I Krig was really good (A Swede here) The english captions are horribly off. Here's a proper translation: I look behind me and see my homestead disappear My time at home now feels far too short Merely a youth, barely a man, as I heed duty's call If I'll ever see my home again, that I do not know 'mongst kinsmen from my village to battle I marched And the world burned 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? Went to war for Sweden, got baptized in blood Out there death awaits, not heroism In fields where kinsmen fall, no song is heard Facing our fates, one more time Faaar, from hoooome (Be baptized & die in battle) And the world burned 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? And when my time is at an end Who cares then? They fight on Does soldier get a worthy end? Fall asleep Disappear And never wake up 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me?
Don’t know why it would be translated badly. This video came straight from the Sabaton official RUclips channel so it was translated by the bands social media team
The "official" translation is horrendous. The OPs translation here is much better, but it's far from perfect. For example, lines like "But who's missing me?", "So picture me like this", "If I'll ever see my home again, that I do not know", "And when my time is at an end", and others like line 17, 18, 19, 21, and so forth. None of them are perfect. But they are much better than the original.There's also lots of superfluous commas.
Northern Swede here;. Don't try that "Finns don't cry "with me lol. I've seen you 😂 Also, I think that since this song is about the 30 years war and at that time we were the same country, this song is just as much about Finnish soldiers as it is about the Swedish.
@@vivk1593 Hahaha! It's the same on both sides of the Tornio river. "I never cry!!! Also I can kill my food with my bare hands!" and then they get drunk and there's snot and tears all over the place 😂
"I tend to listen to this album in the mornings, because Joakim's [Brodén, Sabaton singer] powerful vocals encourage me to push forward and achieve something great every day. But listening to it on the train is dangerous because I get into the groove too much and then I tend to miss the stops I'm supposed to get off at!" -Suzuka Nakamoto, you known her as Su-metal 💕
Great reaction! And as a Swede myself I think your pronounciation (difficult word) of En Livstid i Krig was the best I`ve ever heard a non Swede pronounced it. God job Bis:) Now I think it`s time for you to listen to some Heilung:)
Great reaction! As a Swede and a huge Sabaton fan it always brings a few tears to my eyes when I see people whom even not understand the language and still gets emotional! Keep up with all reactions!

This just goes to prove that music is a universal language. much love to all who listen to this and shed a tear to the lyrics and thinking about their own countries.
Your pronounciation of En Livstid I Krig was perfect. That concert, that song, was probably one of the best moments in my life. It was so amazing! And do not be sorry for crying it is a really powerful and emotional song. A really good reaction! No, thank you! Greetings from Sweden.
Biss sweetie, I want to thank you. As a guy who has spent the majority of his life in the military and been deployed to combat zones 11 times. It really is a beautiful thing to see that some people actually care. Those like you are the reason we do what we do. As always, BIG HUGS from Tennessee, USA! 😍👍
Thank you for your service. It’s unfortunate that any person does not realize the sacrifice our soldiers make every day, so that they may continue to live in ignorance. Also from Indiana!
This song is about the Thirty Years' War that dominated central Europe in the 17th century (1618-1648). To this day it is one of the longest and bloodiest wars in history, with the death toll falling between 4 million and 8 million. Many of the fatalities were not even from active warfare, but famine and disease also plagued the area, upping the casualties that much more. Casualties reached such a high number that many Swedish men were forced to fight when they had barely reached manhood, and sometimes even before then. Which really makes the title of the song ("A Lifetime of War" in English) hit a little harder. Men basically spent their entire lives at war, no chance for a peaceful life. The was about the battle between Catholics and Protestants, and at some point during the war almost every major player/Country in Europe was a part of it. This Swedish version of the song tells the story from a Swedish soldier's point of view. You should also check out the English version; it is not a direct translation from the Swedish, but it rather tells the story of the war from the perspective of the outside people, those not involved directly in the war but were affected by it. The lyrics hits hard, but it also shows that even when times change, new technology comes, one thing remains constant and that is the horrors of the war, both those who fall in it and those who survive and have to live with nightmare every day (ptsd).
That was a good pronunciation and a good reaction, I literally cry because I get so connected to all the shit who is happening in Ukrainian these days. This was a good reaction on a strong and meaningful song😊🥰
This is the swedish melancholy expressed perfectly in rock format. I feel so much when I hear this song in swedish it's hard to put into word. It's like they sing about a part of the swedish soul in this song. Very nice reaction! ☺️ Hello from Sweden. 👋🥰
If you listen carefully you can hear Joakims voice break a bit (2:34) , it sounds as he is a bit emotional with this sea of people actully knowing the lyrics. :)
Only a few more weeks and you will experience Sabaton live and experience all these wonderful impressions, emotions and feelings. Every time I hear this song I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. Especially live it is one of the most emotional songs when a whole arena sings together. I am looking forward to seeing them live again in May. This song touches my heart and soul.
loved your reaction, I'm from Poland and we know how a war can destroy a man, I would't capture it better than you that this song can break your heart and glue it back together, you also said that we still mourn the heroes who fought for our freedom and it's absolutely true, thank you for that, I'm sure I will remember that for a long time, just be sure you will keep making these videos, because we love them so much :D
I was there, turned out to be the last concert for two years, was valentines day 2020 so just before Covid. And this was so powerful, I was in the middle of the cround and people where tearing up all around me and pretty much 10 000 people sang the entire song. This song quite often result with the crowd singing it when Sabaton are in Sweden, but I think this might have been one of the most spectacular times I tottaly understand why they choose to put it up on their page.
As a Swede, my eyes get wet every time I sing along to this, which I always do. It's not just the loss of our Great times which we often look back on. There is sincerity and a proper way they sing too, the choice of words. A hymn for everyone who has to go out there on a one way trip. This song is fitting for what happens in Ukraine now. Many sons, friends and father will never come back. There is also the underlaying meaning that if needed, we WILL SPILL OUR BLOOD.
The guitarist in Sabaton 7:58 is Tommy Johansson has his own group Reinxeed before and now Majestica and he doo metalcovers too. He has some special voice i would say of Rock voice. Im Swede
This might be my favorite live performance ever, and since i'm from Sweden and understand the original lyrics it's even more poweful. Honestly the English translation is ok but not as emotional and powerful as it is in Swedish. Also Knowing the history of what they are singing about makes it more special
Ja mam 74 lata i 13 wnucząt.Wiele w życiu przeszłam, jestem twardą kobietą a ryczę jak bobas, gdy słyszę ten utwór.Jestem cichą fanką Sabatonu od początku i bardzo cenię ich twórczość.Podziwiam nie tylko ich muzykę ale również przekaz historyczny.Na jesieni córka jedzie ze mną na ich koncert.Mam nadzieję, że dożyję i moje marzenie się spełni.Pozdrawiam wszystkich.🇵🇱
Im native swedish and very fluent in english. The translation is almost spot on. Nice to see not only me getting in tears watching this song. Thanks for your honesty. They are so good.
Ive heard this song about a million times. According to me this is the best song ever I am really humbled that people from other countries even consider listen to this song at first place but that you even show this emoition for it floors me totally... Like i said the best song live ever performed.
This was in Göteborg in a venue that holds 14000 people, first time I saw this song live was in a much smaller city in a tiny venue that was at least 14 times smaller, still this song was so powerful, no disrespect to Joakim but the part where he didn't sing was almost the most magical when saw them. If I am introducing anyone to Sabaton I show this video, I just wish I was at that concert. This song has an English version but the lyrics is completely different and not as personal. I am happy that they bought you joy. I did meet Joakim the singer in a bar once, he was super friendly, the band is very friendly and humble even when they sell out giant stadiums. The translation is more or less perfect, some words are put in different order for Swedish and English grammatics are not always exactly the same!
I saw Sabaton play live for the first time in a small club in St. Paul, Minnesota opening for the band Evergrey in 2011 (?)... Even I knew that they were going to eclipse Evergrey soon... And every time Sabaton came to Minnesota, their crowds got bigger and louder by 2014... I last saw Sabaton headline a huge club in Silver Spring, Maryland in 2017 w/ Leaves Eyes and Battle Beast opening... packed venue... fun night! 🤘🤘
So you have done it again; both the song and your reaction produced the tears. I have said it before and it is worth repeating, you are a beautiful soul. You've made my day again watching your reactions. To a Romanian living in Germany from someone out here of Irish decent (with my surname where else) born in England and grew up in South Africa, yes I do share love for, to, and with you and what a dream it would be to hug you, you are special.
Among many many videos i watched from diffrent reactors for years now, this is surely on top shelf of what ive seen.. so great crowd.. and Sabaton taking the moment, making it a experince beyond..
wow, what a wonderful react to this amazing piece by Sabaton, and you're right. this song portrays the absence of heroism that war is, it's only the loss of loved ones. thank you :)
I was on this tour. Swede here went to the arena close to tele 2 arena in stockholm. Forgot the name of the arena. When they did this song. Wow. Just sitting there. Goosebumps 100%. Also it was a long time ago I actually heard something like this when probably every single one in crowd is singing.
5 months later, I am hear again. Crying again. Guess its those national feelings, those feelings Sabaton is so good at bringing forth. This is one of your best reactions so far, I wish Sabaton could see this one ❤🤙
I am a British Sabaton fan and I love this song so much as I have been very interested in military history, also listening to military veterans who served in the British Armed Forces as I had cousins who served in the British Army and the Royal Air Force during WW2. This song is not only remembering those who fought in wars in the past but it's also prevalent today especially for those who fight for Ukraine. Those brave heroic men and women who fight against Nazi Russia to free their country from a Tyrannical Dictatorship in Russia and the illegal invasion of a sovereign democratic country. Young Ukrainian men and women who have never held a gun not alone shot one give their lives for their country and democracy, Sabaton's EN LIVSTED I KRIG is very apt for those in Ukraine. War is never right as no one wins as millions are either killed or become destitute or have to leave their homes, country and become refugees in another country that is not their own. The worst thing of all Children are killed, seriously injured or become refugees in a foreign land now that really upsets me. Sabaton are the greatest band on earth as not only are they telling the story but it is anti war, and they tell these stories and teaching history but they are also saying that war is not the way to go. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I was there and its always an emotional thing to sing a long with the guys! But En livstid i krig is special ...as im Swedish it is extra emotional with the Swedish lyric.We did it again twice for me this year as I saw them in my hometown Norrköping during the Swedish tour (may 3rd) and at Sabaton's own festival,Sabaton Open Air in their hometown Falun.U should really come to the festival,its awesome and u are welcome to join a sisterhood in their female fan club,Sabaton witches division.I met several witches at the festival from a lot of different countries.Music unites! This sisterhood started not only for the love of their music but also as a thing if a sister comes alone to a show,there is always sisters to hang out with.Not only for fun but also as a safety thing as u are always more safe together with other people.
A couple of firends of mine were there on that concert and they said it was just as amazing as you imagine and more, they said that the feeling of togetherness when they all sang together was undiscribable. EDIT: The way this video is shot, with the audience as the center rather than from the audience pov centering on the band, shows how much the guys in Sabaton loves their fans and that's a beautiful thing.
Dearest Biss, your reaction here was so kind and sweet. I love this song, it swells within me as an American patriot thinking of all of our patriot heroes from this country who have fallen through the ages to protect our freedom here. Thank you for this so beautiful reaction it tells me even more about the kind depths of your heart and soul and if I could I’d give you a hug. See you around soon sweet Biss and be well! 🤗
A very genuine reaction to this performance, it was wonderful. So welcome to the Sabaton family! You need to see Christmas Truce or Soldier of Heaven, there are so many.
What makes this even deeper is the "it could have been me" undertone in the audience singing. The Thirty Years War this tells about indeed lasted for thirty years and left a deep wound to collective Swedish society. As the war kept going and going younger and younger men were drafted and many women had to first give their husbands and then their children to the same war, never to be heard about again. And the audience knows that had they lived in different time, it could have been them.
hi :) first of a wonderfull song by a wonderfull band :) and you did justice of how you said "En livstid i krig" and youre reaction was so holesome and so good :) keep up the good work :) and a fun thing i live not so far away from their hometown :) a swede here :) a reaction on bizmark with sabaton would be nice to see. and then one on the best band in the world. FFDP Five Finger death punch. a song to react with them is wrong side of heaven. a lot of emotions in that song :) have a wonderfull day :)
If I were watching this video by myself I would not have gotten emotional but seeing you get emotional throughout the entire video caused me to become emotional with you and I was balling my eyes out.
....romanian speaker...... am avut dreptate, esti din Romania. Te felicit pentru analizele pe care le faci, te urmaresc de ceva timp si ma bucur ca nu esti doar o alta figura care asculta fara sa stie ce asculta si fara sa inteleaga mare lucru.
This song is about the 30 years war, which was one of the most destructive wars in european history. Some regions in germany and poland lost up to a third of their population, mainly due to famine and disease.
Sabaton is there to hit you in the feelings in several videos, naming three here but they have several, to hell and back, the song is about a hero returning home with PTSD and drug addiction from the opioids he was treated with. No bullets fly, about a German fighter pilot escorting a damaged allied plane to safety through Germany during ww2. Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce during Christmas in the trenches in 1914
Hello a new guy hear. Thank you too all veterans with out you we would live in a different world. As a current serving member of the armed forces I love sabaton Thank you for sharing your reaction 😊
Romanian here.. I don't really care about your pronunciation. I love to see your face listening to this awesome song for I'm crying every time listening to it. No matter what, Sabaton rulz! 🤘

First time watching you reacting to a video and what a reaction! I am swedish and I love Sabaton especially this song makes me feel so proud of being swedish. I have seen so many reactions of this video and I can honestly say that the most reactors get the exact same reaction that you did. And I still get the same reaction every time I see this video. About the english captions, they are not very good at all unfortunatly. But Sabaton are so good the feelings that comes from inside your chest tells me most people get the message even if you don´t understand the language in this video. This live video is one of the best if not the best I have ever seen, And they sound so good live! And with 14000 fans singing along with every word it is epic! Thank you for a beautiful reaction! Love from Sweden! 🤘
It's been 393 years since Gustavus marched his forces into the HRE. We still remember. His face adorned the 100 sek banknote as late as 1985. Lest we forget.

Agreed

I love Sabaton, I've learned so much about history from all over the world. I appreciate and respect this band.
First off, Your pronounciation of En Livstid I Krig was really good (A Swede here)
The english captions are horribly off. Here's a proper translation:
I look behind me and see my homestead disappear
My time at home now feels far too short
Merely a youth, barely a man, as I heed duty's call
If I'll ever see my home again, that I do not know
'mongst kinsmen from my village to battle I marched
And the world burned
'cause war, it can
Destroy a man
I give my life, for my homeland
But who's missing me?
So picture me like this:
A Husband, a Friend,
Father and Son
Who never returns home
But who mourns for me?
Went to war for Sweden, got baptized in blood
Out there death awaits, not heroism
In fields where kinsmen fall, no song is heard
Facing our fates, one more time
Faaar, from hoooome (Be baptized & die in battle)
And the world burned
'cause war, it can
Destroy a man
I give my life, for my homeland
But who's missing me?
So picture me like this:
A Husband, a Friend,
Father and Son
Who never returns home
But who mourns for me?
And when my time is at an end
Who cares then?
They fight on
Does soldier get a worthy end?
Fall asleep
Disappear
And never wake up
'cause war, it can
Destroy a man
I give my life, for my homeland
But who's missing me?
So picture me like this:
A Husband, a Friend,
Father and Son
Who never returns home
But who mourns for me?

But who's missing me?

No, thank you!
Greetings from Sweden.
Biss sweetie, I want to thank you. As a guy who has spent the majority of his life in the military and been deployed to combat zones 11 times. It really is a beautiful thing to see that some people actually care. Those like you are the reason we do what we do. As always, BIG HUGS from Tennessee, USA! 😍👍
Thank you much for your service. From Indiana
Thank you for your service. It’s unfortunate that any person does not realize the sacrifice our soldiers make every day, so that they may continue to live in ignorance. Also from Indiana!
This song is about the Thirty Years' War that dominated central Europe in the 17th century (1618-1648). To this day it is one of the longest and bloodiest wars in history, with the death toll falling between 4 million and 8 million. Many of the fatalities were not even from active warfare, but famine and disease also plagued the area, upping the casualties that much more. Casualties reached such a high number that many Swedish men were forced to fight when they had barely reached manhood, and sometimes even before then. Which really makes the title of the song ("A Lifetime of War" in English) hit a little harder. Men basically spent their entire lives at war, no chance for a peaceful life.
The was about the battle between Catholics and Protestants, and at some point during the war almost every major player/Country in Europe was a part of it.
This Swedish version of the song tells the story from a Swedish soldier's point of view. You should also check out the English version; it is not a direct translation from the Swedish, but it rather tells the story of the war from the perspective of the outside people, those not involved directly in the war but were affected by it.
The lyrics hits hard, but it also shows that even when times change, new technology comes, one thing remains constant and that is the horrors of the war, both those who fall in it and those who survive and have to live with nightmare every day (ptsd).
I was in that crowd right there! Got teary eyed as we started singing
holy shit :o must been hell of a show to be there
It is rite of passage to weep at this song. Many men, Including myself, shed tears everytime we hear it. I am weeping with you.
That was a good pronunciation and a good reaction, I literally cry because I get so connected to all the shit who is happening in Ukrainian these days. This was a good reaction on a strong and meaningful song😊🥰
This is the swedish melancholy expressed perfectly in rock format. I feel so much when I hear this song in swedish it's hard to put into word. It's like they sing about a part of the swedish soul in this song. Very nice reaction! ☺️ Hello from Sweden. 👋🥰
Very mighty and a emotional song. Its so cool to see people get emotional and like it even if its not in english:)🇸🇪
If you listen carefully you can hear Joakims voice break a bit (2:34) , it sounds as he is a bit emotional with this sea of people actully knowing the lyrics. :)
I am not surprised I believe it was very emotional for them too
Only a few more weeks and you will experience Sabaton live and experience all these wonderful impressions, emotions and feelings.
Every time I hear this song I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. Especially live it is one of the most emotional songs when a whole arena sings together. I am looking forward to seeing them live again in May. This song touches my heart and soul.
loved your reaction, I'm from Poland and we know how a war can destroy a man, I would't capture it better than you that this song can break your heart and glue it back together, you also said that we still mourn the heroes who fought for our freedom and it's absolutely true, thank you for that, I'm sure I will remember that for a long time, just be sure you will keep making these videos, because we love them so much :D
I was there, turned out to be the last concert for two years, was valentines day 2020 so just before Covid. And this was so powerful, I was in the middle of the cround and people where tearing up all around me and pretty much 10 000 people sang the entire song. This song quite often result with the crowd singing it when Sabaton are in Sweden, but I think this might have been one of the most spectacular times I tottaly understand why they choose to put it up on their page.
I was there also, Scandinavium Gothenburg. 10/10.
I wish I was there too :(
As a Swede, my eyes get wet every time I sing along to this, which I always do.
It's not just the loss of our Great times which we often look back on. There is sincerity and a proper way they sing too, the choice of words. A hymn for everyone who has to go out there on a one way trip.
This song is fitting for what happens in Ukraine now. Many sons, friends and father will never come back.
There is also the underlaying meaning that if needed, we WILL SPILL OUR BLOOD.
Especially since the Russian missiles hit the Ukrainian ports weekly located less than a kilometer from the Romanian shore.
The guitarist in Sabaton 7:58 is Tommy Johansson has his own group Reinxeed before and now Majestica and he doo metalcovers too. He has some special voice i would say of Rock voice. Im Swede
This might be my favorite live performance ever, and since i'm from Sweden and understand the original lyrics it's even more poweful. Honestly the English translation is ok but not as emotional and powerful as it is in Swedish. Also Knowing the history of what they are singing about makes it more special
Ja mam 74 lata i 13 wnucząt.Wiele w życiu przeszłam, jestem twardą kobietą a ryczę jak bobas, gdy słyszę ten utwór.Jestem cichą fanką Sabatonu od początku i bardzo cenię ich twórczość.Podziwiam nie tylko ich muzykę ale również przekaz historyczny.Na jesieni córka jedzie ze mną na ich koncert.Mam nadzieję, że dożyję i moje marzenie się spełni.Pozdrawiam wszystkich.🇵🇱
Im native swedish and very fluent in english. The translation is almost spot on. Nice to see not only me getting in tears watching this song. Thanks for your honesty. They are so good.
Ive heard this song about a million times.
According to me this is the best song ever
I am really humbled that people from other countries even consider listen to this song
at first place but that you even show this emoition for it floors me totally...
Like i said the best song live ever performed.
I'm Norwegian Scottish American, my uncle is Swedish American. The languages are so similar I understand most of this song
This was in Göteborg in a venue that holds 14000 people, first time I saw this song live was in a much smaller city in a tiny venue that was at least 14 times smaller, still this song was so powerful, no disrespect to Joakim but the part where he didn't sing was almost the most magical when saw them.
If I am introducing anyone to Sabaton I show this video, I just wish I was at that concert.
This song has an English version but the lyrics is completely different and not as personal. I am happy that they bought you joy.
I did meet Joakim the singer in a bar once, he was super friendly, the band is very friendly and humble even when they sell out giant stadiums.
The translation is more or less perfect, some words are put in different order for Swedish and English grammatics are not always exactly the same!
I saw Sabaton play live for the first time in a small club in St. Paul, Minnesota opening for the band Evergrey in 2011 (?)... Even I knew that they were going to eclipse Evergrey soon... And every time Sabaton came to Minnesota, their crowds got bigger and louder by 2014... I last saw Sabaton headline a huge club in Silver Spring, Maryland in 2017 w/ Leaves Eyes and Battle Beast opening... packed venue... fun night! 🤘🤘
Oct. 4th 2022 Atlanta, I really can't wait
So you have done it again; both the song and your reaction produced the tears. I have said it before and it is worth repeating, you are a beautiful soul. You've made my day again watching your reactions. To a Romanian living in Germany from someone out here of Irish decent (with my surname where else) born in England and grew up in South Africa, yes I do share love for, to, and with you and what a dream it would be to hug you, you are special.
you are correct. No matter what country you fight for. Enemy or friend, all deserve the same respect..
"Subject that hurt but are needed" Well said Biss! So true
Among many many videos i watched from diffrent reactors for years now, this is surely on top shelf of what ive seen.. so great crowd.. and Sabaton taking the moment, making it a experince beyond..
wow, what a wonderful react to this amazing piece by Sabaton, and you're right. this song portrays the absence of heroism that war is, it's only the loss of loved ones. thank you :)
i have seen youer reaction 100 times and it still moves me thank you from denmark
SABATON RULES! They love sweden 😍🥰
as a swede, that was one of the best foreign pronounciations of "en livstid i krig" i've heard. thumbsup
I was on this tour. Swede here went to the arena close to tele 2 arena in stockholm. Forgot the name of the arena. When they did this song. Wow. Just sitting there. Goosebumps 100%.
Also it was a long time ago I actually heard something like this when probably every single one in crowd is singing.
I cried too. Such a powerful, emotional video with deep meaning. The crowd were amazing!! Loved to have been there
2:09 Just once, I would have loved to experience that crowd participation from the stage.
WHY do i also burst out in tears exactly when you did, not because of you but due to the music... Strange... 🙏😭👌❤🇸🇪
Thank you for this reaction 🇸🇪🤙 You made me cry 😭 ❤️ Which I really needed 😆
5 months later, I am hear again. Crying again. Guess its those national feelings, those feelings Sabaton is so good at bringing forth. This is one of your best reactions so far, I wish Sabaton could see this one ❤🤙
What an absolutely beautiful reaction to such a powerful song
Thank you for this and I'm really glad I found this
Thank you so much
Hi. Great reaction! Beautiful and natural...emotional song. Congratulations from Brazil : **
I am a British Sabaton fan and I love this song so much as I have been very interested in military history, also listening to military veterans who served in the British Armed Forces as I had cousins who served in the British Army and the Royal Air Force during WW2. This song is not only remembering those who fought in wars in the past but it's also prevalent today especially for those who fight for Ukraine. Those brave heroic men and women who fight against Nazi Russia to free their country from a Tyrannical Dictatorship in Russia and the illegal invasion of a sovereign democratic country. Young Ukrainian men and women who have never held a gun not alone shot one give their lives for their country and democracy, Sabaton's EN LIVSTED I KRIG is very apt for those in Ukraine. War is never right as no one wins as millions are either killed or become destitute or have to leave their homes, country and become refugees in another country that is not their own. The worst thing of all Children are killed, seriously injured or become refugees in a foreign land now that really upsets me. Sabaton are the greatest band on earth as not only are they telling the story but it is anti war, and they tell these stories and teaching history but they are also saying that war is not the way to go. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi my name is Calle(new sub). I really like your smile.. Anyway, the translation is pretty solid.I've been to Romania 2 times. Very nice country!
I was there and its always an emotional thing to sing a long with the guys! But En livstid i krig is special ...as im Swedish it is extra emotional with the Swedish lyric.We did it again twice for me this year as I saw them in my hometown Norrköping during the Swedish tour (may 3rd) and at Sabaton's own festival,Sabaton Open Air in their hometown Falun.U should really come to the festival,its awesome and u are welcome to join a sisterhood in their female fan club,Sabaton witches division.I met several witches at the festival from a lot of different countries.Music unites! This sisterhood started not only for the love of their music but also as a thing if a sister comes alone to a show,there is always sisters to hang out with.Not only for fun but also as a safety thing as u are always more safe together with other people.
We will always mourn fallen people in Ukraine... it's hard to see all of this
My heart and thoughts goes out to all the Ukranian men, who is fighting for their country, every time I hear this song........
A couple of firends of mine were there on that concert and they said it was just as amazing as you imagine and more, they said that the feeling of togetherness when they all sang together was undiscribable.
EDIT: The way this video is shot, with the audience as the center rather than from the audience pov centering on the band, shows how much the guys in Sabaton loves their fans and that's a beautiful thing.
Only just watched the video on RUclips and loved 😍 ❤️ it I got tickets to see them in Leeds UK in April ❤️ you video s I watch as you enjoy yourself
I have listen to this so many times and I still cry when I hear it. It gets me everytime. Thank you for this reaction.
Gracias por la reacion.es la más emotiva que e visto hacer😊.muy bonita
I LOVE your reaction....regards from Chile
Beautiful truthful reaction. I knew you'd love this song.
Dearest Biss, your reaction here was so kind and sweet. I love this song, it swells within me as an American patriot thinking of all of our patriot heroes from this country who have fallen through the ages to protect our freedom here. Thank you for this so beautiful reaction it tells me even more about the kind depths of your heart and soul and if I could I’d give you a hug. See you around soon sweet Biss and be well! 🤗
Thank you so much
Great reaction!
The translated lyrics is not perfect but they definitely tells the message of the song!
5:05
We all get emotional sometines during this song..
Thanks to the fallen warriors of the world
A very genuine reaction to this performance, it was wonderful. So welcome to the Sabaton family! You need to see Christmas Truce or Soldier of Heaven, there are so many.
A good reaction! Fader och son, som aldrig kommer hem!
What makes this even deeper is the "it could have been me" undertone in the audience singing.
The Thirty Years War this tells about indeed lasted for thirty years and left a deep wound to collective Swedish society.
As the war kept going and going younger and younger men were drafted and many women had to first give their husbands and then their children to the same war, never to be heard about again.
And the audience knows that had they lived in different time, it could have been them.
hi :) first of a wonderfull song by a wonderfull band :) and you did justice of how you said "En livstid i krig" and youre reaction was so holesome and so good :) keep up the good work :) and a fun thing i live not so far away from their hometown :) a swede here :) a reaction on bizmark with sabaton would be nice to see. and then one on the best band in the world. FFDP Five Finger death punch. a song to react with them is wrong side of heaven. a lot of emotions in that song :) have a wonderfull day :)
If I were watching this video by myself I would not have gotten emotional but seeing you get emotional throughout the entire video caused me to become emotional with you and I was balling my eyes out.
....romanian speaker...... am avut dreptate, esti din Romania. Te felicit pentru analizele pe care le faci, te urmaresc de ceva timp si ma bucur ca nu esti doar o alta figura care asculta fara sa stie ce asculta si fara sa inteleaga mare lucru.
This song is about the 30 years war, which was one of the most destructive wars in european history. Some regions in germany and poland lost up to a third of their population, mainly due to famine and disease.
As someone who's been to war, this song makes me ugly cry every single time I hear it.
Thank you for your service
Sabaton is there to hit you in the feelings in several videos, naming three here but they have several,
to hell and back, the song is about a hero returning home with PTSD and drug addiction from the opioids he was treated with.
No bullets fly, about a German fighter pilot escorting a damaged allied plane to safety through Germany during ww2.
Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce during Christmas in the trenches in 1914
Beautiful reaction
"A little tank there" Never have I ever heard a tank of war been described and had it sound like it is a cute little character xD
Hello a new guy hear.
Thank you too all veterans with out you we would live in a different world. As a current serving member of the armed forces I love sabaton
Thank you for sharing your reaction 😊
Why do we all cry listening to sabaton music they rock 🤘🤘
Thanks for a great reaction!
Romanian here.. I don't really care about your pronunciation. I love to see your face listening to this awesome song for I'm crying every time listening to it. No matter what, Sabaton rulz! 🤘
Joakim conducting a choir of thousands.
Gets me every time...

I was there, it was a magic evening and I got goosebumps every time I see this video..
Good reaction video, it was true feelings.
Thank you
Great and lovely reaction ❤ you made me emotional and I cried with you
You have the right emotions for this lyrics.
So powerful. I cry with you on this one.
First time watching you reacting to a video and what a reaction! I am swedish and I love Sabaton especially this song makes me feel so proud of being swedish. I have seen so many reactions of this video and I can honestly say that the most reactors get the exact same reaction that you did. And I still get the same reaction every time I see this video. About the english captions, they are not very good at all unfortunatly. But Sabaton are so good the feelings that comes from inside your chest tells me most people get the message even if you don´t understand the language in this video. This live video is one of the best if not the best I have ever seen, And they sound so good live! And with 14000 fans singing along with every word it is epic! Thank you for a beautiful reaction! Love from Sweden! 🤘
Thank you so much for being here
Thank you for this reaction, Biss. Utterly amazing
Thanks from sweden to your reaction on Sabaton 😍
Back after 8 month and enjoying this reaction as much as last time!
Wtf..what the song..i like the song and ur reaction and make me so humble and cry little bit..make peace yooo from Brunei..
❤❤❤ Lovely and emotional reaction. Love from Sweden ❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤
Amazing everything! Wow!
It literally was a lifetime of war for these soldiers as it lasted 30 years and few people lived past 50 those days.
It's been 393 years since Gustavus marched his forces into the HRE. We still remember. His face adorned the 100 sek banknote as late as 1985.
Lest we forget.
I loved how you reacted to this. The english subs were on point, in my opinion.
They have skillfully maneuvered between the mines. Even after four hundred years in this song, things can be delicate.
you are amazin and beautful:,) keep on rocking babe
Came back again really good reaction!
