Sabaton - Ruina Imperii (Lyrics Svenska & English)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2012
- After the sudden death of King Charles XII in Norway it fell on Lieutenant General Carl Gustaf Armfeldt to lead the remaining 5800 soldiers back to Sweden. When they tried to cross the mountain Öjfjället the army was caught by a blizzard. In this disaster, known as the "Carolean Death March" (Karolinernas dödsmarsch), 3700 men froze to death.
"The Great Northern War is over. And thus ends Sweden's era of just over one hundred years as a great power in Europe, never to return." (from the Carolus Rex liner notes)
CAUTION!
I won't tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work.
"No, we don't glorify anything, we just tell stories about things that have happened." (Rikard Sundén, founding member of Sabaton)
Please support Sabaton and purchase their current album Carolus Rex.

Ahahhaha

Fun fact: Joakim said that they couldn't do a english version because the song only worked in swedish and didnt have that emotional feel in english.
yeah it really doesn't. It sounds like a messenger at the front telling his men to march then when he gets home alerting everyone the flag is metaphorically burning
@@kriegenjoyer6913I think it can work, I've read the lyrics on point with the Swedish voice, and I think it has the same emotional value, I think to get what you described or how Joakim's voice needs to be us how he sang In The Army Now, which has the same march voice.
It was also so you had to learn Swedish to understand it
@@DarkViperCA i am born in Sweden, so I fully understand both the english and swedish versions, but I most prefer the swedish version, I find it more powerful than rhe english.
Damn, Sweden really did fall, ask Duolingo
I dunno. I find it fitting that there's only a Swedish version. It's almost like this song is too personal to be sung in another language. It's about shame and the death of a dream. As if these words shouldn't be said in a foreign tongue because it's a shame that Swedish people bear alone.
The Urizen Tbh all Europeans share the shame of seeing our empires fall after so many were sacrificed in its name. All the suffering and pain, never again shall we be as we were.
Which puts me in an endless physical and psychological pain, every single day of my life. Especially, considering how Poland looked like 400 years ago.
The Urizen the Germans in both world wars probably felt this.
The Epirotes under Pyrrhus probably felt this.
The Macedonians under Alexander probably felt this. (In fact, the men were so attached to Alexander and his family that they almost mutinied at the idea of harming his mother).
The Assyrians when they were crushed by their enemies probably felt this.
The Carthaginian men under Hannibal probably felt this.
These moments happen.

You can practically see the Caroleans falling one by one while the rest trudges on, on the brink of despair.

It is fascinating how many incredibly skilled field marshals/generals Sweden had during the great power era. Some examples:
Carl Gustaf Wrangel - The unimaginably rich commander.
Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld - Sweden's equivalent to Hannibal.
Lennart Torstenson - The master of the artillery and the leader who set the Czech Republic and Denmark in flames.
Johan Banér - "Pray, little child, pray because tomorrow the Swede will come." German parents told their children before the obvious successor to Gustavus Adolphus set fire to their city.
Torsten Stålhandske - The king's loyal and ruthless cavalry expert.

Evpaty kolovrat as well though he wasn't a winged hussar. If you don't know about him, a quick read will make you weep. He and his men attacked the army that destroyed their city and all fought to the death. They were few in numbers but massacred the entire rear guard of the enemy and kept going without a care for themselves. Evpaty kolovrat apparently cleaved some enemies in two, and the Khan was so impressed that he sent his body back to Ryazan after he was killed.
Well, actually the winged hussars were rekt by Karl XII in battle of Kliszów in 1702

EDIT: 69 likes. Nice.
@Chris Ryker Lol true enough. Ill fix it.
now you gave me the idea that would be cool sabaton make an entire album about Napoleon
@@theobarretoteles4206 Would be cool if they pulled it off, but I don't think a Swedish rock/metal band has the right emotional connection to Napoleon or the Napoleonic Wars. They do have a connection to Swedish history because it's _their_ history. WW1 and 2, and more modern wars, are conflicts that almost everyone has some connection to, either personal or from their (grand)parents. People are also more able to invest into songs about wars or battles that shaped their country, like Battle of Bannockburn, or songs about heavily mythologized topics, like 300, Shiroyama and Swedish Pagans. The Napoleonic Wars has almost none of this. Sweden was no major player and I'm not sure if it participated at all. No one is alive from the period, or has been for at least 80 years. The countries that came out of the Napoleonic Wars have since then transformed so much that the impact of the wars is not really all that noticeable anymore. Personally I also feel like the style of Sabaton doesn't really fit the Napoleonic Era, but that's very much because of my view of warfare of that time (which is of sunny, slightly clouded picturesque grasslands with toy soldiers and classical music). The era doesn't seem metal.
But hey, if they do do it and it's good, I'm all for it.
@@danielblom391 Not sure if it had active participation in the Napoleonic Wars, but Sweden did lose what is now Finland to Russia at the end of the war. (Well, I believe they lost parts of Finland before that, but not the peninsular part). They might have been allied with Napoleon or just unlucky to be partitioned, because, why not?!
Also, that era does not sound metal? CHAIKOVSKY WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO HIS CANNONS.
No, literally, Napoleon was the one who revolutionised the use of artillery and turned it into the real 'gods of war'.
@@nottoday3817 the current Swedish Royal Family is related to Napoleon i think

I never knew the lyrics to this song, but now that I've heard them... It's quite sad and depressing
same
I have to agree, but it makes the song even more beautiful.
It wasn't as sad a defeat as some think. The Imperial Age gave way to the Age of Liberty, and enlightenment ideals started to take precedence in Swedish society, even with the infighting between the Hats and the Caps.

Whats the movie called? Thanks in advance
I think it is called Poltava.I did not watch it as I am a American and the movie might not be in the United States of America.I could be wrong.
@@sethfrisbie9840 Yes it was Poltava I went on translator
When you hear this song right after Carolus Rex man the sadness
Big sad
Like suture rising...
man, that dude died in song three(!)
Yes you right
This song likely comes after "Long Live the King" though, as that song is about the death of king Charles XII, also known as Carolus Rex. So it would go like this:
Carolus Rex -> Long Live the King/Konungens Likfärd -> Ruina Imperii
Well, I looked up the album and found the correct order of the songs.
1. Dominium maris Baltici
2. The Lion from the North
3. Gott Mitt Uns
4. A Lifetime of War
5. 1648
6. The Carolean's Prayer
7. Carolus Rex
8. Killing Ground
9. Poltava
10. Long Live the King
11. Ruina Imperii
My thoughts that Long Live the King and Ruina Imperii were the last two songs in this saga were correct, though.
The power of this song is so... raw. Somehow angry, melancholic and furiously sad (especially the "Aldrig, aldrig, aldrig atervända"). This song has truly a specific mood and tone to it.
I feel it putss us in the shoes of a proud swede finding there empire crumbling

How it feels to get a 0/0/0 king in EU4
worst event in this game
Enrique the 2nd but in Sweden
From the translations and the tone, it sounds like as if it were composed by a surviving soldier, who knew that his country would fall in its power, and knew why; that it had died with their last king.
Charles XII was such a trendsetter. He failed at invading Russia before it was cool.
And later soviets were dissidents as they tried to invade Finland and failed.
Old Nick- did they though? I mean yes it was incredibly embarrassing for them and probably utterly humiliating and of course came back to bite them in the ass when the Finns partnered with the Nazi's to help them invade Leningrad but they still got what they wanted it was just in a really pathetic and feeble way lol

Top ten saddest anime moments
oof
Damn, now I want an anime about Carolus Rex...
This song has so much passion in it, it draws such sadness, sorrow, contempt, you can feel it in the voice. Even if you don't understand swedish you can still feel the tragedy in it. You know this song is from the heart. Sabaton should be a national treasure just for this one. They always make you feel not just patriotic for another country, but feel their struggle as well. That's why metal like this is superior to any other kind of music, it awakens so much emotion within people, it's not just the music (which is great as far as instruments and voice) but the message is expressed in such a passionate way.

@@otisagab2223 kind of like Balkans
Honestly, that's just Europe, period. Every nation in Europe has, at one time or another, been ascendant - from Crete to Macedon, to Rome and to Francia, to Spain and to Austria, to Sweden and to Russia, to Great Britain and to Germany - even small nations like Switzerland and Albania have been major political players at one time or another.
It's one of the great keys to Europe's successes in more recent centuries, as for we have been fighting each other for 2000 years, constantly driving innovation in technology and thinking. Diversity is a contentious word, but I remain steadfast in my view that Europe's greatest strength is its diversity; not an artificial diversity of made-up identities or arbitrary biological diversity of external characteristics, but the diversity of *ideas*. The greatest human power is the power of the mind, and in innovation and thought, we are unmatched.

Sabaton, the ultimate music, history, English and Swedish teacher
Sabaton is really the only band I like, mostly because I like to enact geopolitical fantasies in my head when I listen to music and most other songs are harder to do that with. But Sabaton is _themed_ for that, which is wonderful.

Interesting fact. Napoleon knew well about the fate of the Swedish army and learnt the following lesson: if you don't find a good refuge for winter in Russia, your army is doomed. Therefore he thought that he could avoid disaster by taking shelter in Moscow before winter got lethal.
But though he managed to reach the city in september, general Rostoptchine had removed all supplies and "mysterious" fires started to burn thousands of homes after the city's capture. With no shelter nor food and with tsar Alexander refusing to stop fighting, the French army retreated in October, too late to escape from the cold.
And we all know how well THAT went!
but you know that this song is not about the Swedish army in Russia, right?

Despite being a song about defeat it has a lot of power and pride in it
Of course. A true warrior takes pride in victory or defeat because they know they gave their all. And a true warrior respects his vanquished enemy for the same reason. Violence is terrible, but honour is not, and the difference between a warrior and a brute is that both have violence, but a warrior has honour too.
This song perfectly fits a last stand battle. And the bass guitar + drums... just epic. I can't get them out of my head.
