Swedish National Anthem Reaction | Jonna Jinton Sings Du Gamla Du Fria For Sweden! We Are Enchanted! 

Omg I was so happy and surprised to see this! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! :) ❤️ It was so beautiful to see your reactions. LOTS of love to you guys! ❤️

I'm Norwegian and this song resonates more to me than our own national anthem. This is truly the song of the North.

If you didn't notice, the name "Sweden/sverige" is never mentioned in the song. It's about the nature, the north, our home. And what a lovely version you have found.

As a swede I'm getting emotional aswell when I hear and see this. She made the national anthem more like our folklore-songs, change a few tunes here and there. I think she made it better. An Lord of the rings isn't far fetched. Tolkien got his ideas to the book from Nordic beliefs and tales. The nordic mythology with elfes and all that.

Hmm.... she change some of the melody in our National anthem. But its not bad. Its just very much in melodic minor. It usually goes in major key. :-)

Those are Jonna's own drone shots. She's an amazing photographer and makes gorgeous videos as you'll find out soon enough.

English lyrics (I saw one further down which was all wrong so I wanted to correct it): Du Gamla, Du Fria (Thou Ancient, Thou Free) Thou ancient, thou free, thou mountainous North Thou quiet, thou joyous beauty I greet thee, most beautiful land upon the Earth Thy sun, thy sky, thy meadows green Thy sun, thy sky, thy meadows green You throne upon memories of great olden days When in glory your name traversed the Earth I know that you are and will become what you were Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North

I love Jonnas version its so beautiful and then adding the kulning (ancient herding call) into it was so nice and yes Sweden has gorgeous landscape.

My country. My beloved land. Blir så jävla stolt när jag hör detta.

She shoots all of her own videos and does all of her own editing. All of her own music and she also does art. Her husband is a silversmith and an electrician. They are seriously magical people.

Thank you for this reaction. As a Swede, I always get back here listening to this version. She is fantastic.

Jonna should be named Swedens TREASURE. She is beautiful in every way. Love her to bits 💜She is an absolute jewel 💎

wow i have never heard this version of our swedish national anthem . LOVE IT , im swedish and stumbled on your channel , thank you for posting it . greetings from sweden

Only 12% of the population live in Norrland (the north) but it takes up 59% of the area. And most of those people live on the east coast where there are no mountains like these.

She sings it diffrently than you normaly do. But I really like this version as well.

As a Swede my eyes began to water 🇸🇪😢

Proud Swedish 😊🇸🇪 Its Beautiful with all Nature and Mountains😊👌

Historically this song was actually a love song for the whole of Scandinavia and Finland and all the mountain countries. When I hear this I think of all our neighbours.

The photographic images that Jonna captures is amazing. And I just love the herdingcall

Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful version of the song and beautiful scenery! From a naighbour Norwegian 🙂😘💛

Ms Jinton, is the best daughter of Sweden, her voice is so celestial and so meditative

Jonna is a photographer and captures the north of Sweden in a beautiful way. I do believe she filmed this herself ☺️

A beautiful interpretation of our national anthem. As a proud Swede, this one fills me with a sense of sorrow, but also hope for a better future than what we're facing right now. Thank you for the reaction.

3 Years later and still a stunning video . From a proud Swede .

this sounds like something straight out of game of thrones or lord of the rings. Man, I´ve never heard our swedish national anthem sound this beautiful. Jonna did a really good job!!!!

Welcome to Jonna Jinton's magical world! She and her videos are indeed mesmerizing! Jonna is the best advocate on RU-vid by far for showing the world how beautiful the country of Sweden is! She is as a person just as beautiful as the landscape that surrounds her in her magical videos! Jonnas channel is pure art! Thanks for reacting to this amazing video. Please consider reacting to more of Jonnas videos! ❤️

It’s a beautiful version but I still prefer the how it’s supposed to sound. It’s much more powerful and it makes me proud to be Swedish.

I'm swedish and i was blown away with her angelic version of our national anthem, holy crap ❤️ You should also learn the text of the anthem. It's not just about Sweden.

I think she sang some more lyrics (or I'm lost) but here are the lyrics in english Lyrics in English Thou ancient, Thou free, Thou mountainous north Thou quiet, Thou joyful [and] fair! I greet thee, loveliest land upon earth, Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green. Thou thronest on memories of great olden days, When honoured Thy name flew across the earth, I know that Thou art and wilt remain what thou werest, Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

I love how jonna show the best of our country

Shes one of my favorite youtubers. Her content is such an uplifting gift. Her voice is amazing.

Fun fact(s): Tolkein's books borrow heavily from Nordic mythology (elves/dwarves/trolls ect.) and he based the elvish languages on Swedish and Finnish.

Oh yes, thank you. Amazing to hear it with these pictures and her voice. Makes me wana go home visit my family 😂 thanks guys. AND i have to say the swedish national anthem is the most beautiful there is. Jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden ❤

Its not independence day, because Sweden has never been dependent.

*Stefan Löfven has left the chat*

Proud of my sweden😊Loves living here!

React to "Jon Henrik - Daniels Jojk" that's another swede.

The best version of our beauriful Swedish National Anthem ever made! "Thou ancient, Thou free, Thou mountainous north Thou quiet, Thou joyful [and] fair! I greet thee, loveliest land upon earth, Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green. Thou thronest on memories of great olden days, When honoured Thy name flew across the earth, I know that Thou art and wilt remain what thou werest, Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North"

Guys, you need to react to "The sound of Sweden" also by Jonna if you haven't seen it already. It's great!

Jonna is in my opinion a fantastic artist that remake our Swedish songs her own way, and she makes them outstanding!! Well, about her looking for people we have about 25 persons/square kilometre... so there is a lot of free woodland and mountain space to explore and live in. Many thousands of lakes and rivers where most of them you can drink the water straight out of. Yes, i am a swede and i just have to say "Jag gillar verkligen er kanal" (I really like your channel) 😊

Please react to Jon Henrik Fjällgrens-The reindeer herder's joik or Daniels joik, they are absolutely beautiful ❤️love from Sweden

Wow..soft and touching music.. sooo beautiful, so angelic.. 👍😊

swdens independence day? we became a country and stayd like that

5:10: "Djonna, is that how you pronounce your name?" - I highly doubt it. Drop the "D" in the sound. Think "Yonna"! (In Swedish, one doesn't add/include a D in the sound of J, as is done in English. "Johanna" is thus pronounced "Yohanna", and John is pronounced "Yohn") /Swede

Have never heard this version of my anthem. It was very beautiful! She's earned another fan! It's a very "traditional" folk version with a bit different tone (and melody) than the most common version that everybody knows, by Richard Dybeck. However, even that "official" version credits the melody as a folk traditional, so noone really knows how it originally sounded, or o if their were local variations.

I like your reaction to my favourite version of our national hymn! Instead of ohh’s and ahh’s you just sit stunned! Thats right! It’s awesome! It’s so good! Right?! Genuine and honest, I like you two!

Tack så mycket! Va gulliga ni är!!💕

YES, you found Jonnas videos, its so beautiful! The music + the composition + the film making = is so well done and fills the heart with joy! I love the music Jonna makes! >I can recommend to see a reaction to another Idol winner from Sweden; Jon Henrik Fjällgren; search for "Jon Henrik - Daniels Jojk". Jon-Henrik and his sisters comes original from Colombia but are adopted to Sweden, to a sapmi inuit couple and when he entertered Idol he started an amazing jouney for the sapmi people. Its not so often you hear jojk in the cities and so Jon Henrik have opend an arena for the sapmi people to share the culture with the rest of Sweden and the world. And jojk is a song that they sing in their own language (there are many language/dialects in sapmi) and they discribe something; like the wind, or a mountain or a person. First time I heard him was at my parents home and my brother told me to say Hi to a friend of his and so I went up the stairs and into my brothers room and there he was, Jon Henrik (a couple of years before he won Idol), with a guitar and said Hi! He was down to earth and nice and he askes if I wanted to here him sing, I said yes! (I love music) He started to sing and WOW! I got goosebomps and thought Hi will go far in life with his music. And he did!!! Just that thought have poped in my mind with Jonna Jinto and Chris Kläfford! So check out Jon Henriks audition to Idol of the song Daniels Jojk, a song dedicated to a friend to him who passed away a couple of years ago. Thanks John and Lulu for making reaction videos of artist in Sweden and continue with your amazing music reaction journey! And to Jonna; WOW! You are amazing! If you are going to Lit, Jämtland, send me a message some how! I live in a little house and in the evening I sing (kaukar) to the cats to come home and they listen, and the echo outside the house is something I want to share with others!

Beautiful landscape! I watched the video earlier of students that went to study in South Korea. It seemed like the common theme with each one of them was they were so touched by how kind the people were there. They said even their teachers would take them out to eat. They said that if you couldn't find where to go, sometimes a person would actually get you a cab and ride with you to take you to where you need to go and pay for the cab. Or the walk with you to make sure you get to where you need to be. The world could learn an awful lot from a country like that.

As a swede and a pagan. This feels like a "truer" version of our national anthem. Sung by a true Valkyrie and really celebrating everything Nordic.

As a Swede ... geez ... beyond beautiful.

my personal favorite version of our national anthem. might be nice to hear the the range of music we got in sweden.

I’m from Sweden, just want thanks you both for a good Chanel

I cant hold my tears.. so beautiful

I love the reaction do more from her and more swedes , keep it going, love from sweden!

Most of us swedes never see this, let alone go and live there. So thanks for the video ! It´s romantic but so is Hawaii

Love that you love Swedish songs. I'm from a little island in the Baltic sea.

Really like this voice, feels like home, this is so much Sweden old music for me

You guys are amazing too.

I feel my national song so much, i truly will live and die here. It's the song that whenever I feel doubt, fears or not belonging ...I can listen to this song and know I belong with my people. We will die, we will live and we dont even have to speak. The wind, the earth, the mountains, the trees and every living speaks to us. We cannot lose that essence of who we are. Close to nature, always!

This version of my home country´s national song/anthem was very beautyful indeed.

Sweden is beautiful!! She's singing about the country, ergo the land. I live here in Sweden but I'm an American.

Kulning is such an amazing thing , it’s been done since the viking era and still lives on - but mostly for musical purpose nowadays . Kulning started and has for years still been used as a way to call for your herd and also communicate with other women herding , the different tones would kind of be like a language . Är så himla fint och faktiskt roligt att göra (om man kan vara nånstans öde , rätt generande att försöka göra det inne i stan) 💕

Here's the translation: Thou ancient, thou free, thou mountainous North Thou quiet, thou joyful [and] fair! I greet thee, most beautiful land upon earth, Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy meadows green. Thou art enthroned upon memories of great olden days, When honored thy name flew across the earth, I know that thou art and wilt remain what thou wast, Yes, I want to live I want to die in the Nordic. I forever want to serve thee, my beloved country, Loyalty until death I want to swear thee, Thy right I will protect with mind and with hand, thy banner, the heroes carry high. With God I shall fight for home and for hearth, for Sweden, the beloved native soil. I trade thee not, for anything in a world No, I want to live, I want to die in the Nordic.

Great video well it is first time i heard our national anthem in that way :)

I love seeing this as a Swede! Though, I wish you'd have turned on the closed captions so that you could see the lyrics of the anthem because they're just as beautiful as the music

I love Jonna Jinton😍😍😍

she doeas here own version of our song wich is beatuful! im glad u liked it! means a lot to us!

Lulu you seriously look like a barbie in these videos 😍 how are you so pretty 😭. Also I love her💓💓

Thank you! I Love Jonna, I has followed her many years. She is a role model. She moved out to north country in Sweden 10 years ago or something and live very close to Nature. Her voice is so Beautiful 🥰🌟

Here is the translate of the sweden national anthem . You old you free you mountain high north, you silence you joyful beauty, I salute you dearest country on earth, your sun your sky your meadows green your sun your sky your meadows green You believe in the memories of ancient dar, then honored your name flew over the earth, I know you are and you become what you were, yes i want to live i want to die in the north yes i want to live i want to die in the north I always want to serve my beloved country, I want to swear your allegiance to death I will cherish your right with great care and with your hand, your fan ...

Dont know if anyone has spoken about this in the comments. but the song is a Swedish national Anthem. and it speaks about the old and the free "du gamla du fria", and it speaks about the free North. and my interpretation of the song is that it speaks about the Beauty of the land, the free land, and i actually look at it as old gods the norse mythology (vikings and such). because in the melody it speaks about the old land, the free land. and sweden was more of a free land under the viking era, and even though its still green and Beautiful, Think about how it would have looked basicly untouched. and it continues to speak about the old memories of greatness when the name was honored across the Earth. it continues to speak about how we want to serve the beloved country, and swear faithfully to Death. and to protect the land with glory. and then it speaks about fighting alongside God, for home and motherland? (fosterjord) and that i would never trade the land for Everything in the World. no i want to live and i want to die in the North. (under is a translation taken from a site). You ancient, you free, you mountainous north You quiet, you joyful beauty I greet you, most beautiful land upon earth /:Your sun, your sky, your meadows green Your throne upon memories of great olden days Yhen honored thy name flew over the earth I know you are and you will be what you were /:Yes i want to live, i want to die in the north:/ I forever will serve my beloved country You faithfulness, until death i swear Your right i will protect, with mind and with hand /:Your banner full of feats, carry By god i will fight for home and for hearth For sweden, the dear fatherland I trade you not for anything in the world /:No, i want to live, i want to die in the north:/

the fact she films her own videos and has a great eye for nature, her cinematography and photography does nature a lot of justice! she uses drones to film the flying shots, the rest is her camera!

Beautiful and magical

Our anthem "I greet you, most beautiful nation on earth" and "Your legacy remembers our grand days, when honored your name flew over the earth" Refering to our time as a great empire who conqured scandinavia. And some people pretend like this is not a patriotic anthem 😂

Well we sing about the north not sweden. It weird! Anyone swede? I’am.

No independence day here in Sweden, we ruled half Europe and half Russia at one time. Our National Day (=independence day i USA) celebrates a dude skiing 90 km...and was crowned a king in the north on 6th of June. Yes, Game of Thrones would have nothing on us. We would have the the wall AND the deads from like Iceland or Norway or something. Finland is good though. :D :D :D

"Thou ancnient, thou free, thou mountinous land, thou silent pleasurable beauty. I salute thee, the most beautiful country on earth, thine sun, thine skies, thine meadows green."

Sverige!🇸🇪❤

I like this more than the original lol She turned our national anthem into something brilliant 😌

They are in a trance when watching Jonna sing

Jonna has many exquisite videos on her channel. (SHE does the camera work!)

In the right places our country is beutyful and wow I did not think that anyone would watch Swedish stuff but we have a nice culture and stuff!

Goose bumps all over the body. I need to take my daughter for camping in the north when she’s older. Beautiful version jonna! Better then zlatan ;)

Gilla om ni kommer från Sverige 🇸🇪

it´s a very nice song!!! but i want to say that our national day is not a independens day. we have no independent day.

It's rare to find a beautiful verison of it. I love the land. Not the rulers. Coming from a swede

If you look up the long version of the national anthem it mentions sweden quite a bit so yes it is our national anthem but I feel its great to share this with norway and denmark too

aw I love this version by jonna,i’m also northern sweden so it gave me a smile how much you liked our culture/nature❤️🇸🇪 react to sarek-älvorna

Video is mostly of ”Norrland” 😉 northland of Sweden 😉

I know she has a amazing voice!!! I’ve been watching this girl’s videos for a while now and she is a very talented lady! She is also an artist and paints beautiful paintings and she does photography as well ♥️♥️ You should also watch her video where she does the traditional Swedish call that herders used to use to call their cows. It’s beautiful 🥰 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KvtT3UyhibQ.html

Amazing song and an interesting reaction. Thumbs up! My recommendation for a reaction: The band "Eisbrecher" and their song "Zu sterben". There are some videos of this song with english lyrics subtitles available on RU-vid. Greetings Mega

This is the most divine expression of our national anthem ever, Jonna for prime minister!

Goosebumps.

Norrland is very nice.. but I think most Sweden nature is amazing. It's a peaceful and lovely place to live in. Just abit cold but there is never wrong whit the weather only the chlotings we say. Much love from Sweden

What she sang was the Swedish anthem. Not my kinda thing per se(I don't mind it), but a really beautiful voice, no doubt. Don't be fooled though ;D, not all of Sweden looks so great. She found some beautiful uninhabited/sparsely inhabited spots. My family owns a few miles of such lands around our summer house up north in Sweden aswell(near the slopes of the mountains), and we have a couple of those spots aswell. We occasionally take our snow mobiles and go camping near such spots in the winter. It's a great place to read a book, or play some games(like ring throwing, guessing/riddle games, or whatever games the family and my cousins happen to invent for the winter). And then we go back to either families summer house for more games, food and conversations. Ahh, I miss it... Havn't gone for a couple of years, been too busy. I should try and make some time this winter... I might have moved around a bit, and I might be considering moving to Switzerland because I don't like where our political climate, or our economy is heading(it's just a mess of political conflict, between both the ppl, and the various powers in charge). But I do still love the north.

Thank you so much for this, love this version of the Anthem. Welcome to Sweden anytime 🙏🤗🇸🇪💕

wait till you see her artwork amazing!!!!

I got emotional when i watched this

Everyone should follow Jonna on RU-vid, She does amazing videos.
