A Swedish band called Ultima Thule. blå brigader (free translation by yours truly) We have rested beneath the stars, waiting for battle Awake we have rested in a cold November night Dawn is coming, this fog will not disperse Going home in thoughts about my farm There, beneath the same stars, my wife has slept At dawn she awakes, and starts the daily struggle She is a beautiful woman, but hard is her life And soon the ground will freeze hard 19.000 men move forward as one March forward at Lützen to meet the enemy Old veterans and many a young recruit Lift their weapons and towards the battle they march My place is here in the line, one among many of the blue And beneath this banner I've walked for many years Around me, I see friends, amongst those that still live Even rememeber those that are gone A lion has greeted us, and told us "fence well" A lion has called for us, we know he is with us Our blue brigade march forwards, now they sound the generral advance Let me live, give victory to our army 19.000 men move forward as one March forward at Lützen to meet the enemy Old veterans and many a young recruit Lift their weapons and towards the battle they march We have rested beneath the stars, waiting for battle Awake we have rested in a cold November night Now I can hear drums speak, trumpets sing out Fog clears and our wait is over 19.000 men move forward as one March forward at Lützen to meet the enemy Old veterans and many a young recruit Lift their weapons and towards the battle they march Old veterans and many a young recruit Lift their weapons and towards the battle they march 19.0000 men walked forwards there as one A walk in November once, long ago (with excuses for my less than sober translation)
