From the frozen north they came
Fought for founding father's claim
It was then, their tale began
Trace their roots from sixteen strong
By their King where they belong
En tid
Av Krig
Wherever he goes
Near or far, they are close
For the King of Sweden they lay down their lives
For the Swedish crown they stand
By the King at his command
Five hundred years for the fatherland
Marching across the Belt
Crushing blow at Narva dеalt
Livgardet, our royal guard
Sworn protectors of the thronе
Royal doctrine set in stone
For the crown you shall give your life
By traditions from the past
Swedish soldiers stand steadfast
I frid
Och i strid
And if one shall fall
Yet another heeds the call
For King and for country they lay down their lives
For the Swedish crown they stand
By the King at his command
Five hundred years for the fatherland
Marching across the Belt
Crushing blow at Narva dealt
Livgardet, our royal guard
För Sverige i tiden
Dit konungen går
De gör vad som synes omöjligt
Vad än framtiden spår
Wherever he goes
Near or far, they are close
For the King of Sweden they lay down their lives
Still for the crown they stand
By the King at his command
Five hundred years for the fatherland
Marching across the Belt
Crushing blow at Narva dealt
Livgardet, our royal guard
