Canciones para una vida - Sabaton - The Royal Guard

 

THE  ROYAL  GUARD

Nueva señal de vida compositiva a través de un single digital de la banda sueca Sabaton, de título "the royal guard", canción que versa sobre la guardia real sueca y su historia, y concretamente este tema basa su melodía en el salmo número 297 "Härlig är jorden". De momento no he leido nada sobre un nuevo album de estudio en el que pudiese incluirse este tema, aunque veremos, lo que si es claro es que el tema tiene ese sello de la banda tan reconocible e imitado, y que incluye igualmente una versión cantada en sueco de la misma, "Livgardet". Dejo un enlace a youtube de su clip oficial.

Infected by fire and Dala blood
Frozen ground and heroism
In a time of war they stood

Descended from only 16 men
The kingdom's oldest military unit

A time
Of War

Wherever the road leads
To protect, the guard swears
For king and kingdom they dedicate their lives

Knee to knee the lifeguard goes
Fought for our country father
Dedicated service for 500 years
From the train across the Belt
Struggle at Lund, on Narva's field
They follow in the footsteps of heroes

Regardless of who wears the crown
To his king fidelity swears
In a time, of peace, they exist

Traditions from the past
Still guarding the door of power
In peace
And in battle

Wherever the road goes
Around our king guard stands
For country and for kingdom they sacrifice their lives

for Sweden in time
Where the king goes
They do what seems impossible, whatever the future holds

Wherever the road leads
To protect, the guard swears
For king and kingdom they dedicate their lives

The honor guard stands
Founded by our country father
Dedicated service for 500 years
From the train across the Belt
Struggle at Lund, on Narva's field
They follow in the footsteps of heroes
