Blå Brigader [English translation]

We have rested under the stars in anticipation of battle

We rested without sleeping on a cold November night

We wait for dawn to break, this fog just won't go away (4)

travelling home and thinking of my my farmyard

There, under the same stars slept my Viv (1)

At dawn, she wakes up and starts her daily chores

She is a beautiful woman, but heavy is her life

And as soon as the ground freezes firmly

(REF)

Nineteen thousand men move forward as one

Marching forward towards Lützen (2) to meet the enemy

Old veterans and the many young recruits

Raise their arms and to battle they go out

My place is here in the ranks, one of the many bluecoats (3)

And under this banner, I have marched for several years

Around me I see friends, who are among the living (4)

I Remember also those who are gone

A lion has saluted us and bade us to fight well (5)

A lion has called us, we know he is with us

Our blue brigade moves forward as the bugle is blown (6)

Let me live, give victory to our army

(REF)

We have rested under the stars in anticipation of battle

We rested without sleeping on a cold November night

Now I hear the drums resound, and trumpets ringing out

The fog is lifting and our time of waiting is over

(REF)

Old veterans and the many young recruits

Took up their Weapons and to battle they went out

Nineteen thousand men, there went forward as one

On a march once in November, a long long time ago
