- First off... Congrats to Jonna Jinton for getting married recently! Second, we were completely mesmerized by her rendition of this song. It's become the de facto national anthem for Sweden, and it's beautiful. Not to mention all the amazing locations in this video.
Check out more of Jonna Jinton's vids here!

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! ❤️
Du fick mig till tårar.
You are amazing Jonna and you deserve the recognition! I'm so glad John and Lulu decided to react to this video! Noone is a better advocate for showing the beauty of our country to the world than you! And that's just one part of your TH-cam channel! You are as beautiful as a person as the landscape surrounding you in the videos! ❤️
@Jonna Jinton , I Did recommend your version of our national anthem Jonna! So happy for you, that they Did a reaction video of this. Love it
@@eleonorpramfalk3751 Thx so much for the recommendation. Was truly a highlight for us 😘
Thank you for showing us how beautiful Sweden is through such a gift you have. We just saw your video about how you ended up in the vast wilderness up north in Sweden and it was truly awe inspiring. You are a modern day Renaissance woman who can paint, write poetry, sing, take photos and videos and even fly a drone ❤😍
I'm Norwegian and this song resonates more to me than our own national anthem. This is truly the song of the North.
Wow. Maybe because, JA JAG VILL LEVA JAG VILL DÖ I NORDEN?
Im swedish
@@emelie2377 jag håller med
Hello neighbour
Yeh exactly. Its the anthem of the Nords. Not really about any country.
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.
That's because the national anthem is not officially a national anthem, but has, by public opinion been afforded that status. Officially Sweden doesn't have a national anthem, as such.
You are right. Then who cares if it's not official voted for, when nobody is against it 🤔😁. Same with our language. Only official because EU demanded that Sweden has a official language. Nobody cared about it before. 😄
Volvo modified the anthem from
Ja vill leva ja vill dö i norden
To
Ja vill leva ja vill do i Sverige
In this video maybe, but in the fourth verse Sweden is mentioned.
@@tedlarsson6713 Only the two first verses are sung these days, I've never come across anyone singing other verses than the two first.
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.
True, although elves were alot more evil in nordic folklore if I remember correctly. Beautiful but evil...
@@Brakvash almost everything that was pretty or mytical in swedish/Nordic folklore was evil to be fair 😂
The elven language in LoTR is a mix of middle eastern and Nordic. As an arabic immigrant who grew up most of my life in Sweden, i can appreciate both
Very true, according the Norse mythology, the light elves come from Alfheim and the dark elves from Svartalfheim and the Dwarves from Nidavellir, Tolkien was very much inspired by Norse Mythology.
and the Quenya language having major inspiration from FInnish
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.
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.
Those are Jonna's own drone shots. She's an amazing photographer and makes gorgeous videos as you'll find out soon enough.
Thank you for this reaction. As a Swede, I always get back here listening to this version. She is fantastic.
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. :-)
Japp!
In original, our Swedish anthem is a really dull and sad lullaby, quite unimpressing and not anthem-like at all.
These melodic changes significantly improves it all, makes it more beautiful sad instead of just dull sad.
Still not an anthem, tho... 😀
@@micke_mango Do no really agree with you ha our national anthem is dull and unimpressing. Its definately anthem like. Its an easy melody, thats easy to sing. Italien anthem is really complicated and more opera than anthem, the same thing with the french.
No the only problem is the lyrics. The Sweddish anthem is about all of Nordic countries. We dont sing in sense about sweden, we sing about Finland, Norway and so on. Its about then sweden was a European Superpower. So in sense it would be better to re-write the lyrics, just like they did with the russian Anthem that before was about the communist party. lol.
@@Dragontrumpetare this song wasn't written as the national anthem so there really is no changing the lyrics. The song is what it is. It was written during the time of Scandinavism in the 19th century. That's why it mentions all of the Nordic, not just Sweden.
@@usernaames I know that... didn't say it was either. But it is written during that time when Sweden was a superpower.
@@Dragontrumpetare The Swedish national anthem is the only national anthem in the world where the name of the country is not mentioned. The guy who wrote it did write two more verses, and one of those have the name in it, but the people who "ordered" the song decided that the first half was 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
(this translation is also wrong) Fast du har ju översatt fel... "vänaste" är inte vänligaste... Vän är ett gammalt ord för vacker.
@@00idc-idk00 I did not know this. It's corrected now, thank you.
@Jeremy Crawford the free folk in GoT is Kinda like The sami People of the north. Ever seen the People that have all The raindeers? Thats them! Kinda like The natives lf the north, they where extremly discriminated for like, a few centuries from some where about 1600 centurie i belive, maybe sooner.
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
Much love from Las Vegas to Sweden!
I think our Swedish national anthem is the most beautiful anthem of all countries, thanks for a beautiful reaction video! 🙏 Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤
Jonna should be named Swedens TREASURE. She is beautiful in every way. Love her to bits 💜She is an absolute jewel 💎
If you call her beautiful you've not been in sweden, no offence but she is pritty normal compare to other women in sweden.
But it doesn't change the fact that she is beautiful.
Well, we don't name treasures like tgat in Sweden, but yes, she's a real treasure. So talented photographer and vlogger.
She is a swedish treasure absolutely 😊
@@simeonwood3613superficial are we?
3 Years later and still a stunning video .
From a proud Swede .
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.
;( 2022 min broder
We still got it great compared to the rest of the world. Travel more so you can see all we actually have in our country. Us living in luxuary for as long as we have; it is easy to forget the riches we have.
@@Limboinpinbo That's such a flawed argument. Everything is being wittled down piece by piece, but that's okay, because there will always be placed poorer than us; as if we don't deserve and shouldn't nurture and care about the country that those before us built.
@@beckvitt2997 So imperial measurements are less valid than someone just claiming our country to not be what it used to be? To get a better grasp of reality we are required to gain knowledge through point of view comparison.
But please, tell me how flawed it is to gather a wide perspective of reality while you remain complaining.
The photographic images that Jonna captures is amazing. And I just love the herdingcall
My country. My beloved land. Blir så jävla stolt när jag hör detta.
JaG hAr ÄtiT PanKaKa ;D
Bruh same
Ahahahahhahaha
EgiRevs samma
I love your country
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.
Det roliga är att regeringen håller på att urbefolka Norrland (Norrbotten/Lappland) och ändå när man ska visa upp Sverige mot världen så väljer man i 99% av fallen att visa upp bilder från norr
@@RobertRudholm Helt sant! Vi duger som reklam men inte som människor
Men vi har det nice i Stockholm
Vet inte om jag håller med om att regeringen avfolkar norrland. Visst bensinpriset har väl gått upp nån krona osv men vill man bo där så är det inga problem. Unga vill ju dock flytta till större städer där det finns mer att göra, mer jobb och fler möjliga partners, det känns helt naturligt.
@@erik.... Om det bara var så enkelt som att "bensinpriset höjs med nån krona", men vi har värdelös kommunaltrafik, nedlagda och underbemannade sjukhus, akut polisbrist m.m så problemen är nog lite större än "nån krona"
Proud Swedish 😊🇸🇪 Its Beautiful with all Nature and Mountains😊👌
Jonna is a photographer and captures the north of Sweden in a beautiful way. I do believe she filmed this herself ☺️
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
Welcome to Jonna Jinton's magical world! She and her videos are indeed mesmerizing! Jonna is the best advocate on TH-cam 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! ❤️
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.
As a Swede my eyes began to water 🇸🇪😢
Mina med! Mina med!
Jag gråter aldrig , men de är alltid någon som skär lök när ja kollar på den här videon!
She sings it diffrently than you normaly do. But I really like this version as well.
I hate it
@@mrredemption1337 shut up
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!!!!
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.
If you look up the longer version of the anthem it does mention Sweden
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!
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.
Katten Super Cute Emperor
Nothing beats Sabaton’s version, eller hur?😉
@@jgripen969 sabaton is garbage lol
Wal Luc
You should know that it’s practically impossible to trigger a Swede
Katten Super Cute Emperor håller absolut med.
Håller med!
I love how jonna show the best of our country
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.
Finnish, not Swedish.
As a Swede ... geez ... beyond beautiful.
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"
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.
So she changed up the lyrics then?
@@ReactToTheWorld no its the same
Jag uppskattar att du till och med använde gamla engelska ord för översättningen! creds till dig asså XD
What she added was 'kulning' ...ancient herding call. It's sounds but not words.
I don't see the point of translating it into extremely outdated English when the song in Swedish is nowhere near as archaic
Guys, you need to react to "The sound of Sweden" also by Jonna if you haven't seen it already. It's great!
Proud of my sweden😊Loves living here!

Allt han delar är guld värt!
@Tim Bäckman. samma.
Shes one of my favorite youtubers. Her content is such an uplifting gift. Her voice is amazing.
Its not independence day, because Sweden has never been dependent.
Thats wrong, The Danish took over us and we got our independence day when King Gustav Vasa over throwed the Danish king who murderd hundreds of swedish nobles after a war that sweden last but the nationel day itself is when Gustav Vasa become the king over sweden the June 6, 1523.
@@yaknowdrej2525 Its not wrong. Sweden was legally still its own sovereign state within the Kalmar union. Yes, the danish king killed a shit ton of Swedish nobles, and yes there was a war when Sweden separated from the union. But its way different from being a serf state. By your logic britain will have a new independence day when they break off from the EU. Which is preposterous.
@@yaknowdrej2525 Didn't the Danish take over in Norway at some point too?
@@saoirse7167 Denmark had Norway for centuries, that's why norwegians write (but not speak) in the Danish language. (After that, Sweden had Norway for some 90 years, between 1814 and 1905.)
Sweden has no independence day. The national day is when the modern system was founded.
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.
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
Much love from Las Vegas to Sweden!
React to "Jon Henrik - Daniels Jojk" that's another swede.
I agree that should be our anthem instead.
Ja! Yes yes

Respect for you to give respect for the minorities too.
@@NO1jkpg i helvete eller. Va fan ingen fattar ju vad dem sjunger när dem jojkar.
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 ❤
Please react to Jon Henrik Fjällgrens-The reindeer herder's joik or Daniels joik, they are absolutely beautiful ❤️love from Sweden
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!
Sweden is beautiful!! She's singing about the country, ergo the land. I live here in Sweden but I'm an American.
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) 😊
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) 💕
OMG this is freaking amazing. Never heard of this! Thx for sharing, gonna look more into it because it honestly sounds magical, like being the pied piper for cows 😜😘
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
I love that you called us elves! You see Tolkien actually based elves and a lot of middle earth (which is an old germanic word for earth, in modern swedish it's Midgård) on scandinavian and old english culture and faith. Elves were almost entirely based on scandinavian culture and old english culture. In modern scandinavian folklore we actually still speak of elves, trolls and giants to name a few.
I love Jonna Jinton😍😍😍
my personal favorite version of our national anthem.
might be nice to hear the the range of music we got in sweden.
This is the most divine expression of our national anthem ever, Jonna for prime minister!
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
Ha. We should know this. Because we're Marvel geeks and Thor keeps talking about "Jotunheim", homeland of the giants, and he pronounces like YO-tun-hame! So... Jonna = Yonna!
Thx 😘😊
@@ReactToTheWorld I did giggle a bit when I heard Djonna Djinton, but I love how genuine your reactions were/are

Loyalty until death I want to swear thee,

swdens independence day?
we became a country and stayd like that
500 years - 5 centuries, and counting...
@@Brakvash Sweden has been a country in the sense we know it since the 12th century.
Ta det lugnt. They didn't mean anything by it. Most countries celebrate their independence on their national day.
@@linuslinden2285 Kalmarunionen, just saying.
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
The scenery is real. I am swedish. We have a lots of diffreent landscape beacuse a big country. But al natural! ❤ love to here yiur comments!
But you need see the lyrics!
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

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!
"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."
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!
We kinda were stunned silent for this one 😊 Didn't even have time to formulate a reaction and commentary!
she doeas here own version of our song wich is beatuful! im glad u liked it! means a lot to us!
I’m from Sweden, just want thanks you both for a good Chanel
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
My grandfather used to ski to school during the winter when he was young, the distance was almost 20 kilometers to the school. Just wanted to share a cool fact.
That’s not true. Sweden never ruled half of Europe (at its peak Sweden didn’t even have 1/8th of Europe) and the Swedish national day is also Sweden’s Independence Day. When Gustav Vasa was coronated as king on the 6th of June 1523 that meant the end of the Kalmar Union which in turn meant that Sweden became an independent kingdom and ended the Danish rule over Sweden.
@@Carl_Isaksson Yes indeed i was blow away too, half of Europe and half of Russia? We did not have that much of Europe but we was part of the group of great powers of Europe but we was one of the smallest to them. I think people thing we had a lot more territory because of like the battle of Poltava. Yeah it is closer to the black sea then then Baltic sea. but we did not own anything down there Carl XII just marched an army through Russian territories to siege a strategically important city of Poltava. Just because you hold enemy territory during was don't mean it is your after the war when the peace treaties are signed.
@@ThomasVanhala "Smallest" Sveriges herr i 1700-talet var den största i hela Europa ju.
@@samuelskogqvist5565 De fyra stora "great powers" var Österike, Pruessen, Frankrike och England. De var dom som hade störst inflytande i Europa under 1700-talet. Vi var ganska ofta influerade av Frankrike. Den först kungen i vår nuvarnade kunga familj var marskalk av Frankrike. På 1700-talet var vi inte längre så inflytelserike some under stormakts siden på 1600-talet. Under stormakts siden var det England, Holland, Frankrike och Tysk romerska riket som var dom stora aktörerna i Europa. Sverige var dock fruktad i Europa, speciellt i Tysk romerska riket där man skrämde barn med fraser som "Akt så inte svenske kommer och tar dig."
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 like this more than the original lol
She turned our national anthem into something brilliant 😌
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.
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 😂
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 ...
Is this from Google Translate? It just isn't right and is very weird.
I took it upon myself to make a more proper translation:
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

If you liked Jonna Jinton then you should totally watch her video "Lucia- The night of light". It´s about Lucia, a saint that we celebrate on december 13th every year. The video is absolutely magical!!
Everyone should follow Jonna on TH-cam, She does amazing videos.
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 🥰🌟

Lulu you seriously look like a barbie in these videos 😍 how are you so pretty 😭. Also I love her💓💓
It's rare to find a beautiful verison of it. I love the land. Not the rulers. Coming from a swede
You guys are amazing too.
You should look at when Loa Falkman sings the national Anthem at the World Cup a few years back, that will give you chills.
It's in a sparsely populated area of northern Sweden. Jonna shoots everything herself. She doesn't show winter here (or mid-autumn or early spring). It would have been hard for her to film with the limited daylight and there would be thick snow.
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 🥰

I think she said she lives in north of Sweden:) This is quite a big country and has only 10 millions of inhabitants:)
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.
I cant hold my tears.. so beautiful
Well we sing about the north not sweden. It weird! Anyone swede? I’am.
Det är väl ganska typiskt svenskt; att inte våga ta riktig patriotisk ton? :/
The person who wrote the lyrics, Richard Dybeck, did not intend for it to be the national anthem. Its original name is "Sång till Norden" (Song to the North) and was intended to be a celebration of the Nordics, which explains why the original verses don't even mention Sweden specifically. There is a verse added about 60 years later that does mention Sweden by name but it is almost never sung and isn't really recognized as part of the national anthem by most people. Sweden has no "official" national anthem as it was deemed unnecessary to give "Du gamla, Du fria" any legal status, but it is our de facto anthem.
I think it's actually pretty neat how our national anthem isn't only a tribute to our own nation, but to our wonderful neighbors who we share a long history and friendship with as well! It fills me with both love for our great country as well as a sense of brotherhood with our neighbors whenever I sing or hear it.
Fun fact: If you disregard the last verse (which most people do anyway) then the Polish national anthem is the only national anthem in the world where the country Sweden is mentioned.
Wookiee Man sant, skit skumt, när flest bor i typ Gbg Sthlm eller Skåne lixom
Det är för att Norge och Finland en gång i tiden när låten gjordes tillhörde oss, det har inget att göra med att vi inte vågar sjunga om Sverige
Normally you speed it up, the national anthem isnt sung that slowly.
It should be though.
Video is mostly of ”Norrland” 😉 northland of Sweden 😉
Great video well it is first time i heard our national anthem in that way :)
