SWEDISH LYRICS (Engl below):

På väg till Gårdarike
Träffa jag en man (o han sa)
Ska du med till Miklagård yeah
För det är dit vi ska

Res till Konstantinopel

[Chorus]
Väringagardet för ära och rikedom vi slåss
Till kejsaren har vi svurit en trohetsed
I grekernas rike är vi män från alla Nordens hörn
Där väst möter öst, ett baner av svart och rött

Den stora stadens murar
Tronar över bosporen
I väringagardet tar jag värvning
Till Bysans är jag trogen

Kämpa för Basileios

[Chorus]

Under södra solens strålar
I våren av vår tid
En rubinröd drake är vårt tecken
Som för oss in i strid

Värvning i Väringagardet

[Chorus]


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

On my way to Garðaríki
I met a man who told me
Do you want to come with to Miklagarð?
Because that's where we are going

Travel to Constantinople

[Chorus]
The Varangian Guard! For glory and riches, we fight
To the Emperor are we oathbound
In the realm of the Greek men from the North have gathered
Where West meets the East, under a black and red banner

The great city's walls
towers over the Bosporus
I join the Varangian Guard
To Byzantium I am faithful

Fight for Basileios

[Chorus]

Under the southern sun's rays
In the spring of our time
A ruby-red dragon is our sign
That leads us into battle
I join the Varangian Guard

[Chorus]
