Thanks for the lyrics, very important in order to understand the meaninc/message of this track.

[@duxthesavior]

When they said "das ich soll", I really felt it.

Don't call yourself a Teuton player if you don't listen to this on repeat in every game you play with them 😤😤😤

"that i should so" translated to english 😊❤

[@ChewingGumFlavor]

Video title: "Das Ich Soll (ft. The Teutons)" Goths: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@4Hardy]

I only had teutonic vills come to my studio to record the vocals, sorry "The Goths speak the same language in-game, but actually, the Goths had their own Gothic language which was spoken as early as the 4th century and became extinct by the 8th or 9th century." aoe wiki Jebaited

This is absolutely awesome. The start reminds me a bit of the beat in "Carl Poppa", I love both.

[@mysmartphonechannel]

[@holyn8]

Ja!

[@steveolotu8540]

In German, "das ich soll" means "the I should", which doesn't make any sense. Instead, it probably says "dass ich soll" (which sounds identically), which translates to "that I should". "That I should" only makes sense in an abbreviation as a reply, as far as I see it. As in: Warum baust du ein Haus? = Why are you building a house? Mein Herr hat mir gesagt, DASS ICH (es tun) SOLL. = My lord told me THAT I SHOULD (do that).

[@jochen_schueller]

german comment xD

[@GAnimeRO]

Lern english man. "Das ich soll" wird korrekt als "that I should" übersetzt, nicht "the I should" und es ergibt sehr wohl sinn. Genauso wie "I want to come with" ein vollständiger und korrekter Satz ist aber in der Schule so nicht beigebracht wird, da Schulbuch für english immer "I want to come with you" vorgibt. Gleichzeitig wird hier altertümliches deutsch verwendet, früher hat man anders geprochen. Z.B. "Die geilen Recken", sind nicht Reiter die total horny sind, sonden das "geil" steht für froh/glücklich. Genauso wie früher "toll" für Wahnsinn stand und nicht für "klasse/super", gibt es heute nur noch im Wort "Tollwut" in seiner alten Bedeutung.

[@FailOfEmpires]

i think its common knowledge also to the non-germanspeaking part of the community here, but for the better understanding of how hilarious this is. here the translation to the German phrase DAS ICH SOLL ( which is actually incorrect order, it should be: DAS SOLL ICH.) it means: I shall do this/that or I should do this or I will do this.

[@4Hardy]

well, the teutons speak old high german from about a thousand years ago though, chances are the sentence structure was different back then. I mean most of what the units say are words that sound kinda similar to modern german and you can make the connection to what it could mean but the words are pretty different now. I'd love to get some information from the devs on how and where they found these words, probably a good question to ask Sandy Petersen

[@kdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkd]

Well, it could also be "Dass ich soll", "(...) that I should". As in "he said, that I should."

[@HinnStormur]

@@kdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkd This is the actual origin. It's translatese at its best. It is particularly common for all civilizations of the "first generation"

[@icantthinkofaname2722]

​@@4Hardy They units in the game don't speak Old High German at all. It's more like Middle High German (from 13. century at the earliest I would say) but even that is more of a jumbled mess than anything else. The worder order in most, if not all west-germanic languages used to be V2 (even in Old English), that is the same word order as modern German. So this sentence structure is unusual in OHG as well. Also, the sentence in actual OHG as it is written in the Hildebrandslay(Hildebrandslied) - would be more like "Dat skal ik', or 'Daz skal ihh'. I put two versions, because while the first is closer to the Hildebrandslay, it's debatable if that is actual Old "High" German, because of the apparent Saxon influence on it. The first version would be more "Old Low German", if you want. There were many different West Germanic language varietes spoken at the time, many of which could be considered "German" or "Teuton" from today's point of view. Saxon (not a "high" german dialect though), Frankish, Langobardic, Allemanic etc... I don't know if I can post links so I will just say if you're interested you can google "wiktionary sculan" (for the OHG word for "sollen") and "wikipedia hildebrandslied" (for a sample of what OHG looked like).
