I can hear the pride in your voice, brother. This song was made for a Brazilian to sing, since your countrymen were the heroes of this song. \m/

New 79 year old fan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

incredible curiosities about Brazilians in the second world war: the Brazilian air force in the campaign of Italy even with less resources were the most lethal reaching more than 80% of the victories, an effect that amazed the Americans, Brazil was the only allied force to make an entire surrender of a German division in the war (they surrendered), there was a sergeant named MAX WOLF FILHO who was a war hero more courageous than any ally in the Italian campaign, he was always the first to lead the troops through the battles , he was not afraid of anything, he was decorated by the American captain for bravery, after several victories he was killed by a blast when he was leading a reconnaissance troop, several tried to recover his body and several died too, the Germans did not let .. recovered 3 days later, another fact was that a captured German captain told the Brazilians: "I have never seen soldiers advance against defensive positions without fearing your own life, you are a demon ", another fact was the American troops stealing food and drinks from the Brazilian camp, then the Brazilian commander spoke to the American commander and the commander smiled and said that this was things that happen in war and he left smiling, then the Brazilians took revenge and in the morning they stole a sherman tank from the Americans, at dawn after they found out they went to complain about this fact and the commander responded just like the American commander, and finally ... another important fact was the story of these 3 Brazilian heroes who kept a German division occupied for hours to be able to free Brazilian troops being bombed by German artillery, after the Germans discovered they were fighting with only 3 Brazilians, they were so surprised that they paid tribute to the Brazilian heroes , great smoking snakes 🚬🐍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 FEB.

Vai brazilian!!! Sei que o mano tem sotaque brasileiro hehehe!

"Brazil won't fight, it is more likely for a Snake to Smoke.' Brazil :"Then the Snake shall Smoke!"

My late father couldn’t serve as a soldier because he destroyed his ankles playing basketball. He did serve as a surgeon in Iceland & was one of few survivors when ship was sunk while returning home. He, like so many other soldiers, refused to speak of the horrors witnessed. He said such memories should be taken to the grave. But bravery, strength, & courage should be remembered & honored. Thank you

Great cover! Sabaton has this way of making you swell with pride for a country you aren't from, so it must be double when it actually is your country they sing about.

Hearing this from a Brasilian makes it so much more epic! Absolutely badass, Cobras fumantes, eternas é sua vitória! Love from the States. 💖🤟

Those soldiers shared some history with my own father, who was in the mechanized (& medical) unit that perpetually followed Patton's troops. My dad spent the last bits of of his overseas WWII experience in Italy, during what he always called, "The Occupation." Thank you for singing this song!

Thank you for introducing me to some very special history.

Tenho tanto orgulho de ter sangue combatente correndo em minhas veias, sempre que escuto essa música me bate uma vontade de chorar, meu bisavô batalhou no teatro de operações em Monte Castelo, Aquino de Araújo 2º Sargento comandante de combate, uma pena não ter o conhecido e conhecer suas histórias pois tombou em ação, porém levo sua bravura em meu coração e será sempre lembrado por gerações e gerações. Obrigado Aquino!

I love learning the history of the flag. What a courageous achievement 👏 👏👏👏L❤VING the song🎵

Thanks for introducing me to Sabaton. I love WWII history and this is new information I must now research. I was a surprise baby, my dad was 49! He was a WWII vet, infantry in Belgium, France and Germany and he specializes in small arms repair. Thank you for your service my dear. 💚

Love the back story. Bravo, Dan and the Brazilian war heroes.

Dan at his best xxx which is true he always is. xx

The story of the 3 heroes, Italy 1945. In the year 1945, in the middle of the Italian campaign, a battle of Brazilian soldiers faced more than 100 German soldiers, in the midst of the combat 3 soldiers distanced themselves from the main group and found themselves in an advantageous position to send fire on the German troops, as well these 3 soldiers started a barrage of fire which the German troops believed was another battle of Brazilian soldiers, thus causing the fire to be divided and in this way that the main group of Brazilian soldiers could better protect themselves and retreat before the enemy superior troop, these 3 soldiers continued the fire until the end of their ammunition, at which moment they knew that they had to keep the fire on themselves so that the main troop could retreat, closed their bayonets and burst against the Germans, being killed immediately, the German group advanced cautiously because they believed it was a larger troop, and they were incredulous when they saw that they were dealing with only one thing. 3 solitary soldiers, before such an act the German commander carried out the burial of the 3 Brazilian soldiers (something totally unusual in that theater of operations), and finally placing 3 crosses with the words in German, “Drei Brasilianischen Helden” or “Three Brazilian heroes ”, this story inspired the band Sabaton to compose the song "Smoken Snakes" in honor of these soldiers. There are some disagreements in this story pointed out by scholars, but almost always these are indicated as the 3 soldiers Geraldo Baêta da Cruz, then 28 years old, born in Entre Rios de Minas, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Arlindo Lúcio da Silva, 25, born in São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza, 26, born in Rio Preto, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. These 3 soldiers were awarded the following medals, campaign medal, Blood of Brazil and second class combat medal. In the decree that granted them these last decorations, it reads, "For an action of exceptional deed in the campaign of Italy". P.S. Why were Brazilian soldiers in WW2 known as smoking snakes? The story is told how when Hitler learned that Brazil had declared war on Germany, he would have said "it is easier for a snake to smoke than for Brazil to participate in the war".

Viva a FEB Heróis na Itália, são reverenciados até os dias atuais pelos Italianos.🇧🇷

We must never forget our heroes 🤘🤘🤘

Dan Vasc, You sang with emotion, I could feel it, thank you.

Awesome history!! Thank you, Brazil, for being an ally!

Great cover as always! Didn’t know Brazilians joined the Americans in Italy! My Father was US Army Sgt. in WWII. His division went into Italy but he was wounded in N Africa before the 1st Division moved to Italy. So I enjoyed good music and learned something new! That’s a Win-Win!❤

The best music becomes even better because of you. What else. Thank you for your great arrangements and listening pleasure... Every day ❤️🤘

BRAVO DAN! Did not know you cover this masterpiece 4 years ago but it is pefect

I am here because I am looking for all of his Sabaton covers. Last stand is great, I would love if Dan would cover The Last Battle 🤞

Meu avô estava com esses 25 mil cobras fumantes. Hoje eu vejo as fotos e me lembro das histórias de guerra. É uma honra e um orgulho ter essa raiz.

Thanks Brazil!!! Thanks Pracinhas!!!" A cobra fumou"

As a brazilian I'm very glad that people still remember the history of those legends!

I love the history lesson Dan. Thanks! It adds to the song definitely. I love it. So powerful!

Congratulations for singing the story of our brave Brazilian soldiers!!! 🇧🇷

This great song about the Brazilian heroes, sung so brilliantly by you, is a piece of Brazilian history about which many pages could be written. The phrase “Cobras Fumantes” still resonates today. When a Brazilian says: "A cobra fai fumar" (the snake go smoke), the matter is no longer settled through words or diplomacy, then things get serious. 😊

Cooool!!! The Historical Intro was a very nice touch!! :D

This has a very 70’s power metal feel to it, and I fucking dig it.

Cobras fumantes, eternas é sua vitória!!! não consigo ouvir essa musica sem encher meus olhos de lágrimas cara! rsrs ficou demais

GREAT THREE SMOKING SNAKES ❤

Thanks to the Brazilians who served in WW II. My Dad was stationed in Italy during the war. Great cover!

Perfect song great heroes and a great singer perfect ❤❤

Man, i knew this vídeo Just today was very good, Man, you sing this well with a very good Brasílian accent, and of course i' m brazilian

I seriously geeked out over the mini history lesson!

Foda ainda é pouco pra esse vídeo! Arrepiei assistindo! Essa música é um orgulho! Sabaton é maravilhoso Ficou incrível! Cada cover um tapa na cara de tão bom hahahaha

Brasil ! Acima de Tudo ...Selva!

Thank you for this song. Loved listening BUT no dark glasses on those beautiful eyes of yours please your eyes shine with pride and and laughter when you sing !!!! Thanks again and keep well xx

WOW! POWERFUL!

Thanks man, from Brazil 🇧🇷

GREAT, EXCELLENT, SUPER !!!

Seems this Sabaton-Song means to Brazilians what Winged Hussars means to us. Great Cover 👍

A Saga dos Cobras Fumantes deveria ser de conhecimento de todo brasileiro! Valeu Sabbaton!

Epic! Greetings from Poland :)

Ahhh that specific 'RRRR'! Nice one! :)

As always a great cover.

Somebody actually did Sabaton. Thank you.

as a brazilian, I had goosebumps with this intro

Melhor que o original!!! Fantástica interpretação!!! Coloquei na minha playlists...

This is epic!!!!!!!!!;!!

10/5. POWERFUL! GREAT SHADES, DAN!

Muito bom!!! Parabéns!!! Abraços desde Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!!

Please more Sabaton covers :)

A good cover. Great job From sweden

I totally agree with you when it comes to politics men in suits shouldn't they be in church lol because they're all liars and I'm very glad that you're feeling better and back with all these great new music that you put out and I'm enjoying it very much keep sending me music so I can listen to it

Saudações do Brasil. Adsumus!!!

Great to see a Brazilian cover Smoking Snakes - and great version too

Nice one! Greetings from Poland!

Saudações!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😁😁❤️

The historical intro was really good to explain the popular saying related with the brazilian expeditionary force. Como sempre, um excelente vídeo, Dan!!!

Essa musica e muito foda. Merecia ate um filme. Ficou muito bom . O povo brasileiro nao da valor e seus propios herois.

Gostei! To me inscrevendo, e percebi que era brasileiro pela falta de sotaque na parte em PT da música e por causa do sotaque nos comentários finais do vídeo em EN hahaha

Cobras fumantes eterna é sua Vitória🇧🇷

E a cobra fumou mesmo. Please, do The Last Farewell or The Iron Duke from Armahda.

Este hino e o verdadeiro hino do Brasil feito pelo sacrifício eterno do povo de meu PAÍS thanks Sabaton e obrigado Dan por cantar cobras fumantes como os nossos soldados gritavam

Adorei o vídeo amigo, sou brasileiro. Viva o exército brasileiro e aos nossos heróis da FEB.

Unsure why you haven't done more Sabaton covers, because it's definitely powerful and it's definitely metal \m/

Os gringos reconhecem e agradecem aos heróis brasileiros, pena que a maior parte do população desconhece este feito heróico em terra estrangeiras.

Mano, você é brasileiro. Eu não acredito nisso velhooo! Que daora!!! Você tem um puta talento. Eu nunca imaginaria encontrar um canal brasileiro nesse nível, parabéns pelo esforço e pelo talento!

I would love to see you on the same stage as Sabaton 😅 more metal to the people!!

What a great song and what a great cover. To be honest in my opinion your the only vocalist on KZfaq I found whose voice is nearly as fitting to Sabaton's songs as Joakims. It would be nice if you covered a song by Nevermore because Warrel Dane's voice is very unique and his songs are soo good. Keep it up🤘💪

Far from home we still keep liaison with our past and present, it helps us in creating better future (at least I hope so) XD Thank you for your work! Great cover! #More Sabaton please!

You sang this with such pride for your country’s history 👏🤟

Freedom we're all living in a free world free to do what we want free to say what we want but the thing is is you all know wrong from right and that's all that makes a difference in the world wrong from right and everything that you're doing Daniel is there a pleasurable I'm with everybody else I can't get enough I have subscribed to you and I expect the best of what you have to give which is pretty much everything you have gone your destiny or should I say your distance

Cara essa música tem uma energia boa demais, sua interpretação ficou excelente! Valeu...

Una de las cosas por las que no fui a ver a sabaton (soy argentino) es que nosotros teniendo nuestra historia militar, nuestros actos heroicos, nuestros pilotos condecorados en la segunda guerra mundial (incluido el ídolo de Neil armstrong) eligieron cantar sobre los ingleses es Malvinas, no obstante muy genial el cover, un saludo desde Argentina!

Grande homenagem ao Brasil, essa música realmente é emocionante. Ótimo trabalho

Nice! My favorite song from Sabaton is Winged Hussars. I hope you can also make a cover of that someday :P keep rockin', man, you're awesome!

Thank you for introducing me to both this part of your Brazilian history and also to Sabaton, Dan. As usual, love your cover. 😊

We remember, no surrender Heroes of our century Three men stood strong and they held out for long Going into the fight to their death that awaits Crazy or brave, will it end in the grave? As they're giving their lives As their honor dictates Far, far from home to a war Fought on foreign soil and far Far from known tell their tale Their forgotten story Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória Rise from the blood of your heroes You, were the ones who refused to surrender The three rather died than to flee Know that your memory Will be sung for a century Three took the blow while impressing their foe Throwing dice with their lives as they're paying the price Sent to raise hell, hear the toll of the bell It is calling for you as the Wehrmacht devised Far, far from home to a war Fought on foreign soil and far Far from known tell their tale Their forgotten story Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória Rise from the blood of your heroes You, were the ones who refused to surrender The three rather died than to flee Know that your memory Will be sung for a century Sent over seas to be cast into fire Fought for a purpose with pride and desire Blood of the brave they would give to inspire Cobras Fumantes, your memory lives Sent over seas to be cast into fire Fought for a purpose with pride and desire Blood of the brave they would give to inspire Cobras Fumantes, your memory lives Cobras Fumantes, eterna é sua vitória Rise from the blood of your heroes You, were the ones who refused to surrender The three rather died than to flee Know that your memory Will be sung for a century We remember, no surrender Heroes of our century

Great song and great history lesson ❤

I learnt something new today. Thank you.

Mano, na moral, vai pra porra, tu canta muito cara. Incrível. Qualquer música que tu pega tu canta e interpreta a forma que o vocalista original canta. Incrível.

Ficou excelente! Também estou me esforçando para conseguir cantar. A música é bem rápida, mas é linda.

I need more sabaton

Incrível cara... Incrível mesmo!

Uao!! .. Cada dia se superando.. Parabéns !!

Always exellent as usual!

chegou a escorrer uma lágrima aqui, nossa♡

Thank you my brother
