The Royal Guard (English version)

From the frozen north they came Fought for founding father’s claim It was then, their tale, began Trace their roots from 16 strong By the king where they belong En tid Av Krig Wherever he goes, near or far, they are close For the King of Sweden they lay down their lives For the Swedish crown they stand By the king, at his command 500 years for the fatherland Marching across the belt Crushing blow at Narva dealt Livgardet our Royal Guard Sworn protectors of the throne Royal doctrine set in stone For the crown, you shall give your life By traditions from the past Swedish soldiers stand steadfast I frid Och i strid And if one should fall, yet another, heeds the call For king and for country they lay down their lives För Sverige i tiden Dit konungen går De gör vad som synes omöjligt, vad än framtiden spår Still for the crown they stand By the king, at his command 500 years for the fatherland Marching across the belt Crushing blow at Narva dealt Livgardet our Royal Guard
