"Oh, Dear Rowan Tree" - Lithuanian War Song

[@nebojsag.5871]

As a philologist and language lover Lithuanian is such a lovely language because it maintains so many archaic indoeuropean features.

[@the_last_legionnaire]

yeah, Lithuanian language is amazing!

[@TruckStored]

Respect to lithuania from latvia

[@the_last_legionnaire]

Best wishes to you and Latvia, bro!

[@Dictator_Crow]

I know Lithuanians don't like us very much, but this is still one of my favourite war songs as a Polish guy. Respect to yall

[@the_last_legionnaire]

I like this song too! Best wishes to you and Poland, man!

[@Dictator_Crow]

Finally someone that doesn't label this as "polish-lithuanian" commonwealth song

[@the_last_legionnaire]

You’re welcome, my Lithuanian bro

[@hulking_presence]

Finally a lithuanian who doesn't want to whore himself for polaks.

[@dominik2095]

But in Poland we have many "polish-lithuanian" songs which are only in polish 😔

[@adammarszalec9910]

Fair enough. In turn, Lithuanians can stop appropriating Polish (or Polish-Lithuanian) historical figures such as Adam Mickiewicz as their own.

[@cringe1020]

​​@@adammarszalec9910Mickiewicz was an Old Lithuanian so the Neolithuanians should decide if they will see themselves as the heirs of pagan Lithuania or the multiethnic Grand Duchy of Lithuania which is the shared heritage of Poles, Neolithuanians and Belarusians. I am in favour of sharing this heritage but Neolithuanians must come to terms with the fact the GDL was also Belarusian and that Lithuanianess wasn't bound to ethnicity (to an extent it's the same with Polishness, Mickiewicz had mostly exclusively Ruthenian ancestors)

[@Quado0s]

5 Swedes disliked it

[@the_last_legionnaire]

Yes! :D

Pieprzyć tę muzykę nas, Polaków i Litwinów, ale na pewno nie jest to muzyka zdrajców Kozaków z Zaproży, a Chodkiewicz też był nasz, a nie ukraińskiego gówna. niech nasza muzyka nie będzie waszą chwałą wielkiej Polsce i skrzydlatej husarii. Znajdź swoją muzykę kozacką i przestań kraść naszą muzykę polską i litewską

nasza słynna narodowa pieśń bojowa Unii Polsko-Litewskiej, pod którą zginęli nasi wspólni przodkowie, wielcy żołnierze polscy i litewscy Huzarzy Skrzydlaci, wieczna cześć i chwała im dzielnie walczyli i bronili naszej matki Polski i Litwy

[@herzogronzinger3771]

How to confirm it's not a modern created old-school song? Some famous history topic songs were actually created in late20~21th century.

[@the_last_legionnaire]

you’ve got archives for that, and many historical notes, that confirms the exact date of creating.

[@herzogronzinger3771]

Cool, there's a website or something?​@@the_last_legionnaire

[@pilenai]

generally this group (ugniavijas) makes modern renditions/covers of old folk songs that were recorded down in the 20th century, whcih are agreed upon to be very old.

[@nebojsag.5871]

To me as a Serb, it has much the same effect as say, Albanian or Romanian. There are familiar elements that just "click" and make sense, but there is so much that is so different, but again different in certain ways which seem to be cut from the same cloth. In my case, it is because of centuries lived together in the same geographic area, while in the case of Lithuania and Latvia it also has an element of shared ancestral heritage.

This song is a lie, it was released in 2013, and in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania everyone except the Samogitians spoke Old Belarusian and some spoke Polish This song is in the language of the Samogitians, who now call themselves "Lietuvos Respublika", the song in the original is called in Belarusian "Oh Dubochak" "Ой дубочак"

[@durnastelikas5314]

This song is in Lithuanian. The Samogitian sounds different, some Lithuanians do not even understand Samogitian. Its Lithuania, not Polish-Lithuania. Look at the map in the video. Poland is to the left of this map, southwest of the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania

@@paulusillyriusiudathaddaio2530 Not sure about that, look at elites in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. They do not look to Poland, they look to Beverly Hills and dream about money, yahts and being more important then America. Their artists however give hope, and I have read their positive opinion about Poland. Hopefully their art will flourish and bring harmony and better relations among the youth in eastern europe and a prospering future.
