Swedish lyrics...
Kung Carl den unga hjälte,
han stod i rök och dam.
Han drog sitt svärd från bälte
och bröt i striden fram.
"Hur Svenska stålet biter
kom låt oss pröfva på.
Ur vägen, Moscoviter!
Friskt mod, I gossar blå!"
Och en mot tio ställdes
Av retad Vasason.
Där flydde vad ej fälldes;
Det var hans lärospån.
Tre konungar tillhopa
Ej skrevo pilten bud.
Lugn stod han mot Europa,
En skägglös dundergud.
Där slog så stort ett hjärta
Uti hans svenska barm,
I glädje som i smärta
Blott för det rätta varm.
I med- och motgång lika,
Sin lyckas överman,
Han kunde icke vika,
Blott falla kunde han.
Here is the English Translation...
King Karl, the young hero,
He stood in smoke and dust.
He pulled his sword from the belt
And broke in battle.
"How the Swedish steel bites,
Come on, let's try!
Out of the way, Muscovites!
Fresh courage, o boys in blue.
And one against ten was standing
against a son of Vasa,
There fled what did not fall(die) ;
It was his discipline.
Three kings together
did not write the warning.
calm he stood against Europe,
A beardless thunder god.
There was a big beating heart
from his swedish chest,
In joy as in pain
Just for the right spirit.
in success and defeat alike,
his succeeding superior,
He could not give up
He could only fall(die).
