(Folk Music) Sverige(Sweden)

[jappe]

National heritage - hopefully the best things remain, and the bad things stay far away from present day.

This is a song I wrote when I felt the present day was filled with bad things for my country, Sweden.

The Swedish lyrics:

O Sverige fosterland,
formad av tidens tand
sträcker ut sin hand
mot varje broderland

Vi talar fredens språk,
utan vår kniv och påk
Du bro över isens råk,
Svenska, är ditt språk

Sverige, Sverige, Sverige, Sverige
...
Sverige, Sverige, Sverige, Sverige

And the English translation would be something like:

Oh Sweden fatherland,
shaped by time
stretches out his hand
towards any sister nation

We speak the language of peace,
without our knife and cudgel
You bridge over the ice lane,
Swedish, is your language

Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, Sweden
...
Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, Sweden

EDIT: I notice there seems to be a defect in Discover drop that cuts the first half second of the song; I dropped it using the loop, and loop markers are correct.

Love it!

I got instantly inspired and had to build on this. May I ask, what you used for the accordion sound?

Here is what I came up with,.. Arrrr!

That's a great interpretation, thank's
I've listened a lot to Arkona and other folk metal, and I really appreciate when folk music marries metal.

The accordion sound is actually the "pump organ" sound from the "World Booster Pack" refill; more specific: It's from the contained "Scandinavian Roots vol 1".

The Kantele and Hummel instruments are also from that booster pack - there are other really great instruments to get inspiration from in that refill!
