In Extremo-Pavane

[@Scarecrow777]

Klingt nach Kindheit🖤 Wurde 1998 im Kinderwagen auf irgend nem Markt von den Jungs beschallt. Laut meinen Eltern bestand die Bühne nur aus zusammengerückten Fässern. 6 Jahre später konnte ich ohne das Album "Verehrt Und Angespien" nicht einschlafen. Hab den Song seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr gehört. Diese Songs waren der Anfang von allem in Bezug auf meinen musikalische Entwicklung. Auch wenn ich den neuen Kram nicht mehr so fühle, bleibt In Extremo einer meiner Favoriten. Allein aus stumpfer Nostalgie.

that music to invoke me, very oold dark times.... but medieval pipes is my best pleasure....

This is a song originally from the Rennaisance, so it is the French from that period, much the way English was different then.

Tôt me secourir Ou me faudra mourir Tôt me secourir OU ME FAUDRA MOURIR !!

It sounds like a mix of German and Latin. It took me forever to figure out that historic French was really pronounced like that. I would have guessed that In Extremo "invented" the pronunciation themselves to make it sound more special.

Because it's French Occitan accent

I heard the Baltimore Consort perform this as "The French Report".

Это не французский, а окситанский

[@ID345891]

is that supposed to be french? so many errors.. lol

[@chestburster95]

It's Old French, probably somewhat from the 15th century.

[@MarcoNapoli666]

hahahaha is French, but very very old

[@chestburster95]

Mark Napols Also, the lyrics in the video description seem to be wrong. A friend of mine fluently speaks french and she said that lyrics in the description don't fit to the actual lyrics in the song.

[@MarcoNapoli666]

Do you know the meaning of OLD???

[@CorvuStheDrummeR]

chestburster95 I don't kow much about French and even less about Old French (what this text intends to be) but still I don't hear a big difference between text and lyrics sung in the song...When havin a look at the Pavane Thoinot Arbeau includes in his Orchésographie then there is a clear accordance. (Belle, qui tiens ma vie captive dans tes yeux, Qui m'a l'âme ravie d'un souriz gracieux, Viens tôt me secourir, ou me faudra mourir.) The In Extremo version places the word viens at a very weird position in the sentence...as far as my understanding of French goes even in a wrong position... I see that Old French probably sounds different and maybe has different grammar than actual French, but still the lyrics in the Song seem to be weird... This is rather a question to someone with better knowledge of French than an attempt to be wise... Maybe no one will read this...but still I'm very interested in a solution! Cheers!
