Se Canta - Occitan Song

[@AyKBSBt]

I am occitan and I hear this song since my three years old and this version is very nice ! I am moved thank you

[@F_Sutra]

Plan mercès ! Viva occitania !

[@CoppodiMarcovaldo789]

I hope that one day the French minority languages will be recognized. In the meantime they must be kept alive, at all costs. Visca Occitania.

[@Le-Podcast-Utile]

Une chanson béarnaise qui s'est répandue dans tout le sud de la France. C'est ainsi qu'elle est devenue l'hymne de l'Occitanie. De Pau jusqu'à Nîmes en passant Auch Toulouse Albi Rodez Carcassonne

Et l’Hérault aussi !

[@davidbrignolo9708]

Oh god I can’t conceive I got the reference in the spoken part only now. I recently started learning Occitan (again) and I came across Lo boièr, a cathar song, and so I discovered about the prophecy of the last cathar parfait and the symbolism of laurel in Occitan culture and I immediately reminded of your version of Se canta (which is still the best one out there)! That is such a nice historical and traditional touch you added there! Greetings from Piedmontese-speaking Piedmont, Farya

My grandmother sang that song , I am French but I also know Spanish and Italian .What a gorgeous song

[@e6198]

My grandmother sang this song to my mother, who in turn sang it to me. And I'm Catalan but I know Spanish and some French, and I've lived in Scotland for half my life now. Isn't it pretty how varied we can be and share some things

The way that the Occitan word “ieu” is pronounced in the song reminds me more of Romanian “eu” than any word in any of the geographically closer languages. They’re all Romance languages though so it makes sense that there would be similarities. I also find it curious that the letter A in Occitan sounds like how O would be said in most other languages that use the Latin alphabet. Beautiful song by the way

[@chongtak]

Only final "a" is pronounced as "o", except if there is an accent on it, then it's pronounced like an "a". In ancient Occitan, "a" was pronounced as in Latin. Every "o" is pronounced as an "u", except if there is an accent on it, then it's pronounced like an open "o" (like "fOrd" in English ).

[@narrare.di.storia]

Meravigliosa! I'm Italian and to me Occitan sounds nearer to my language than French...

[@faryafaraji]

Grazie Vladimiro! Absolutely; when I visited Italy in 2015, there were times when my knowledge of Italian reached its limits, so I'd switch to Occitan and we would be able to conduct a conversation for minutes, with me speaking Occitan and the other person speaking Italian. If spoken very slowly, it's almost completely intelligible with Italian, Catalan and Spanish.

[@narrare.di.storia]

@@faryafaraji Agree, western Mediterranean countries have deeply common roots from Roman times through middle age

[@faryafaraji]

Yeah! It was interesting to speak Occitan with Italians while in the city of Rome, next to the Forum. You had two people speaking different languages to one another and still able to understand one another; it was an incredible testament to the enduring legacy of Ancient Rome. Its monuments still stood and under their shadow, two people could communicate in the descendant languages of Latin

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

It is. Back in the days there was two langage family in that area, Oïl langage in the north and Oc langage in the south. During the revolution it was decided to use the same langage all over France and the dialect of Paris was chosen for it, which is an oïl langage, which become french. So Occitant is far closer to Italian than french.

[@matts1451]

I'm American of Italian descent and this sounds like when my grandmother speaks piedmontese I also grew up with the Naples dialect, and I learned Spanish in six weeks. We all descend from the Romans I noticed the sound changes from Italian to French have to do with how much Germanic influence Roman populace had received. I also think there is a strong Celtic influence on the gallo-roman languages including Portuguese.

[@shakabletax2103]

This is so beautiful! I speak English and Spanish and I'm learning French as well, so I could almost understand everything! Tus canciones sont tellement merveilleuses 😍

[@timcotterill3952]

Cool. It’s so lovely to find this music alive and well. Amazing. I’m a guitarist, it’s hauntingly familiar, but just a little… out of reach…? different? I can’t quite say, but it’s fascinating & very beautiful. I keep hearing, Latin, some Italian, French, & even English sounds. I know a bit of all of theses, except English, my mother tongue. It like the meaning is almost with my grasp, but then it just slips away, very frustrating, but in a way that makes me want to explore. Thank you for this lovey work.

[@faryafaraji]

Thanks alot Tim!

[@danziger9996]

@@faryafaraji Hey, Have you ever considered playing / singing some traditional Basque music? Do you know the txalaparta instrument? It would be so interesting to know more about the very ancient & rich Basque music traditions. It's one of the most ancient cultures of Europe. And they speak a language that isn't Indo-European. Thanks in advance! 🙏

[@charliegabs]

Did anyone else feel the similarity of the opening melody with that of "Little Clementine"?

[@arnautorronteras2602]

Occitan immigration to New France was significant. 'Se canto' or 'Aqueres Montanhes' likely adapted to English, possibly by miners, resulting in 'Little Clementine.' The historical journey behind this adaptation has been emotionally impactful for me, imagining the struggles and farewells of those seeking a better life in the 17th century.

[@charliegabs]

​@@arnautorronteras2602It's amazing how that song evolved into "Little Clementine" over the years, although it also survived in its original form. Where did you read that?

[@arnautorronteras2602]

@@charliegabs Just the conclusion I arrived. I mean, "se canto" was written in the 14th century by Gaston III Fébus, count of Foix and Béarn. Since the early 90s it's the official anthem of the Aran Valley, it's sung in aranese. It has another version in fabla language (aragonese Aqueras Montañas). It's like the unofficial anthem of the Occitan historical region. It has been the official anthem of the Toulouse Football club. In conclusion, the Pyrenees have a lot of history and secrets inside of them.

Why is the melody similar to oh my darling clementine? I wonder if any occitan speakers migrated to the Americas during colonial times.
