"Le Roy Louis" (English version)

An English version of the French Crusader song called "Le Roy Louis".

[@niidz2326]

For the ones who wants to know the real french lyrics translated in english here it is: 1 - King Louis summoned, All his barons and knights. King Louis asked, “Who wants to follow me wherever I go?” 2 - The most ardent have stood up, Have sworn Faith, Fidelity. The most prudent have guessed, Where the King wanted them to lead. 3 - Thus spoke the Duke of Beaune, “I will fight for the kingdom.” Le Roy told him “that’s not enough: We will defend Christianity.” 4 - Thus spoke Lord of Estienne: “I defend Christian land, But I don't want to go Sow death on the sea.” 5 - “Ah”, said the King, “our domain, Stretches across the African shore, To the furthest desert. This is our stronghold, and blood money.” 6 - Gone is Roy Louis. The most faithful followed him. They went far, far away, To conquer the divine stronghold.

In 5, the proper translation in the end is "it is our fief, and its price is blood"

3 line 4 can use “Christendom” to rhyme, I believe it is also more accurate

C'est vraiment super intéressant de voir une version dans une autre langue qui adapte le texte pour garder les rimes

The instrumental is neat and so is the singer's voice. I actually enjoy this version more -A French Canadian.

Thanks for your feedback. TFP Student Action South made a really great version!

[@ryth_fan87]

This is my favorite version

[@sakkra93]

It works really well!

Je préfère en français elle a plus d'émotion. 🇨🇵

[@niidz2326]

This is fantastic how this english version shows that in french we have so much many sentences and words to describe different things, english language have a lack of precision

[@brunodn9702]

Despite I'm French, I must admit that our English cousins have a very rich language to describe one thing with a hundred different words...

[@sakkra93]

To be fair, this isn't a literal translation, but rather a poetic one that keeps the spirit of the original.

What nonsense,you’re just jealous nobody speaks frog.

assalamu aleikum o ye proud french! plz be more respectful or I'll ask Akhmed to ban u from the grocery store. and it is Friday in two days -- don't forget Juma-namaz!

[@LeCrabeStratege]

The military expedition this song is about ended in a catstrophic failure. During the siege of Tunis, the crusaders were struck by the plague, King Louis himself died, and the French army had no choice but to lift the siege and sail back home.

Every country has its specific ingeniuty in its own language. French, crusader's songs. German, ... Panzer Lied😁😇😘

I'm sure Dr. Ludwig or someone would be happy to do that. You should ask. I'd be more than happy to make a video of a German version of this song.

It baffles me how some people would like to live in the medieval times.

[@sakkra93]

Correct! VIVAT CHRISTUS REX!

[@free00to00ryhme]

@@HelperUTTP it’s not about the living standards. It’s about the richness of the culture and social cohesion of the that time. A people bound together by national and religious identity. Remember, those who came before us made possible for us to have all that we do now. In many respects, those who came before us had more that we have lost.
