Paths of Glory - what an ending.

[@fahadtube1406]

I first heard this song in Kirk Douglas's movie Paths of Glory. So emotional song.

[@jurgenmuller5460]

The film is grandiose.

[@henridelagardere264]

One of the most powerful endings in movie history featured _The Faithful Hussar,_ in a truly disarming version by Christiane Kubrick.

[@hatersgonnalovethis]

I must be mistaken, but wasn‘t it Susanne Kubrick?

[@henridelagardere264]

Christiane Susanne Harlan, niece of Veit Harlan ("Jud Süß")

[@Thaumazo83]

Christiane Susanne Kubrick, née Harlan, born 10 May 1932 and still alive in Jan 2024. So yes, the director's widow.

[@michaelwackers6475]

aka by the first line "Es war einmal ein treuer Husar" - Traditional German Folk & Soldiers' Song. Originally sober in melody & lyrics, the first verse was rebranded & appropriated by the "Karneval" revellers of Cologne in 1929. 1. Es war einmal ein treuer Husar, Der liebt' sein Mädchen ein ganzes Jahr, |: Ein ganzes Jahr und noch viel mehr, Die Liebe nahm kein Ende mehr. :| 2. Der Knab' der fuhr ins fremde Land, Derweil ward ihm sein Mädchen krank, |: Sie ward so krank bis auf den Tod, Drei Tag, drei Nacht sprach sie kein Wort. :| 3. Und als der Knab' die Botschaft kriegt, Daß sein Herzlieb am Sterben liegt, |: Verließ er gleich sein Hab und Gut, Wollt seh'n, was sein Herzliebchen tut. :| 4. Ach Mutter bring' geschwind ein Licht, Mein Liebchen stirbt, ich seh' es nicht, |: Das war fürwahr ein treuer Husar, Der liebt' sein Mädchen ein ganzes Jahr. :| 5. Und als er zum Herzliebchen kam, Ganz leise gab sie ihm die Hand, |: Die ganze Hand und noch viel mehr, Die Liebe nahm kein Ende mehr. :| 6. "Grüß Gott, grüß Gott, Herzliebste mein! Was machst du hier im Bett allein?" |: "Hab dank, hab Dank, mein treuer Knab'! Mit mir wird's heißen bald: ins Grab!" :| 7. "Grüß Gott, grüß Gott, mein feiner Knab. Mit mir wills gehen ins kühle Grab. |: "Ach nein, ach nein, mein liebes Kind, Dieweil wir so Verliebte sind." :| 8. "Ach nein, ach nein, nicht so geschwind, Dieweil wir zwei Verliebte sind; |: Ach nein, ach nein, Herzliebste mein, Die Lieb und Treu muß länger sein. :| 9. Er nahm sie gleich in seinen Arm, Da war sie kalt und nimmer warm; |: "Geschwind, geschwind bringt mir ein Licht! Sonst stirbt mein Schatz, daß's niemand sicht. :| 10. Und als das Mägdlein gestorben war, Da legt er's auf die Totenbahr. |: Wo krieg ich nun sechs junge Knab'n, Die mein Herzlieb zu Grabe trag'n? :| 11. Wo kriegen wir sechs Träger her? Sechs Bauernbuben die sind so schwer. |: Sechs brave Husaren müssen es sein, Die tragen mein Herzliebchen heim. :| 12. Jetzt muß ich tragen ein schwarzes Kleid, Das ist für mich ein großes Leid, |: Ein großes Leid und noch viel mehr, Die Trauer nimmt kein Ende mehr. :|

Thank you for this video. I originally heard the song in Paths of glory and was blown away by the beauty of the song (and I can’t speak a word of German) a song that truly breaks language barriers. The translation was great, and I was quite amazed at how it more often than not rhymes in both Germans and English (you can see the link between our languages) My deepest respect for Germany. My Grandfather worked in both east and west Germany and loved the country. Him and my grandmother both speak fluent German (her name is Eva so she even has a German name)

[@dr.ludwig]

Hey Doc, why am i always crying because of this song. Everytime I'm playing this song I'm always sad about my grandfather and grandmother who passed away long time ago. What a Incredible and beautiful song they made

[@dr.ludwig]

You won't believe, but I also think about my grandma when I listen to this. The last time I met her in the hospital, I did also hold her hand, just as the husar did in the song :(

[@kennethrouse7942]

This moving song was performed by the young girl at the end of Paths of Glory, and moved the rowdy; not to say lecherous, French poilous to reflection and sad emotion. Great song, great film! 👍😎🎶🎶

[@steventhompson399]

Paths of glory is awesome, and the girl singing this at the end is always touching to me after watching through the movie... I never knew what the song was until recently, I should have searched for it before

[@92mow]

Although I am an Arab and do not understand the German language, translating it is painful and I am sad about what happened. The West used to have a long history and a culture of determination, and now it has become strange. You see a man saying that he is a woman and you see some people saying that they are dogs. What happened is really strange. I hope that this great culture returns.

[@DesertWolf5150]

I’ve never heard this version before; very good and very epic. Thank you Ludwig 👍🏻🇩🇪

[@KoljaGamer]

Ich habe erst jetzt dieses Lied entdeckt. Obwohl ich abonniert habe, habe ich dieses Lied noch nicht gehört. Ich kam darauf, weil ich zum transkribieren eines in Sütterlinschrift geschriebenes Heft, ein Gedicht, Lied oder Ballade mit gleichnamigen Titel darin gefunden habe. Ich konnte schon einen Großteil des Textes entziffern, jedoch ist es leider nicht dieses Lied. Da geht es um die „Freud der Leut“ während Karneval „bei Bier und Wein“. Wahrscheinlich meinte der Schreiber aber, dass diese Melodie hier zu dem Karnevalstext passt. Ich denke, dass das des Rätsels Lösung ist. :D Sei es drum, dieses Lied hier ist echt schön.

[@benjaminschneider4555]

Ich denke es Komplizierter... ich habe gelesen das mit dem "Mädel" keine Frau gemeint ist sondern ein Kleinstaat im im Heiligen Römischen Reich. der im Krieg an Napoleon gefallen ist...Und der im Lied Singt davon.

[@galatheumbreon6862]

It took me a while but I realised that the hussar isn't talking about an actual girl but he's talking about the "death of Brunswick" since napoelon took over. the black robe and black hat represents the uniform of the brunswick hussars who wear it to "mourn" their homeland.

[@dr.ludwig]

That is indeed an interesting view of the song!

[@benjaminschneider4555]

Haha

[@jonswanson7766]

​​​​@@dr.ludwigFriedrich Wilhelm Herzog von Braunschweig the "Black Duke," was one of Wellington's officers at Waterloo. Actually Quatre Bras, where he fell leading his hussars. He had Hohenzollern blood from his mother.

[@jonswanson7766]

Kelly's Waterloo, a book published 1816 has a chapter about the Duke, a great man, the Brits back then thought more highly of the Prussians, neither Blenheim nor Waterloo would have been won without the Prussians.

[@subkontrabasklarinet]

Fun fact: This song is also known in Czechia, but the Czech lyrics have nothing to do with the German original, they're more like a parody. They were written by Jiří Suchý, a comedian and songwriter. His version is called "Vesnická romance".

[@dr.ludwig]

Still nice that he uses it as inspiration^^

[@adifreitag8579]

Czechs and Germans lived together peacefully for centuries within the Holy Roman Empire and later under the Danube Monarchy. They influenced each other culturally. Prague was even the capital of the empire for a time. Prague's famous buildings date from this period. It was only with the rise of nationalism at the end of the First World War that this symbiosis broke apart. What followed was bitter hostility that ended in war and expulsion.
