The English Patient, Soundtrack - Marta Sebestyen, Gabriel Yared

[@LilaJ.]

When I watched this movie and left the cinema I had to cry, cry and cry. The most wonderful story of century

[@LadyEng]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces ever composed for cinema.

[@williamnelson9332]

For sure beautiful never love anyone that much

[@Jj-h5e]

Me too.

[@RUSTA5]

The Barber of Siberia is also very beautiful

[@Gomba13]

This was not composed for cinema. There was no cinema when this song came about. It is an ancient Hungarian folk song. It survived because an ethnographer travelled in search of intangible heritage and picked this up somewhere in Hungary in the 1960s.

[@EquinoxParadox91]

Everything about this film is absolutely perfect. I can live happy knowing that I have seen this film in my lifetime.

[@traceyreid-bowes2111]

I remain damaged still by this movie; and has been on my mind for days. While searching for the soundtrack, came upon this KZbin video and thought I'd comment in kind.

[@harsangeetsidhu9190]

Agree

[@mariafascinetto1098]

Richard Saxe Coburg, I believe there's a lot more than just beauty...

[@Essie-Cakes]

The singer is hungarian, her name is Sebestyén Márta. She sings and collects folks songs. This song is from a little village called Magyarszovát which is located in Romania. But a huge part of Romania used to be Hungary this village also used to be hungarian. See the name Magyarszovát (magyar=hungarian). So this is a hungarian folksong, in hungarian language from Márta who is a real hungarian treasure.

[@khanimran7465]

Thank you this song has haunted me for over 20 years iv read da book an watched da film but da song is next level hope you reply me

[@trixcentrix]

It caused me to travel the deserts across Egypt and close to the Libyan desert just to see the Gilf Kebir...and led me to many more adventures in the desert. Amazing movie. I was only around 15-16 yrs old when I saw it. While I was analysing and enjoying the whole movie, my peers were too busy watching tv shows like Jerry Springer.

[@debbiepaskin9378]

trixcentrix What total idiots your friends were! 😡😆 Hope you’ve found some new, decent and interesting ones now(?) You did SO well to travel like that! 😆😆😆🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🇬🇧

[@rahmamessedi4764]

You are so Lucky 🤩 i Hope i can see the Gilf el Kebir one day. However the movie was shot in south Tunisia ( which is an Amazing place too)

[@lovetagore1035]

yup. i flew across the gobi desert and thought of this movie. I always loved this part of the world. something ancient. the music is beautiful and thereafter kept finding other music like it.

[@laurids2007]

Yes. Only those who have lived the desert knows what you are talking about. I miss the desert of Egypt very much and now, with the war and all turmoil in Europe, I think about it and I dream to go back and stay there....❤🙏💞💞

[@kevinglennon2370]

I fully agree with every comment on this thread. The film has been one that has haunted me ever since I first watched it. I have almost word out the DVD watching and listening to the dialogue! Just a very sad and ultimately tragic love story, cut short by a very brutal war. This music especially brings tears to my eyes Every time I hear it!

[@alexandrapolien4190]

I cried when last scene .... I have always loved you !!!!!! Every night I cut out my heart , every morning it was full again :(((((((

[@lordpappanqui]

This theme is so haunting that even after all of these years I seem to be spellbound by the song as well as the images on screen. Breathtaking, and HAUNTING. PERIOD.

[@dalepoeckert8440]

Agreed Mesmerizing haunting Seems to align our universal ambivalent souls in alignment via its music and storythenes music Dale

[@chevinha]

Most epic film intro ever made. I could never get over it, haunts me to the day.

[@wearewon]

truly glorious, thank god for music from other cultures, thank god for the hungarian people, and folk music from around this precious planet

[@Bruchomluvec]

Omg how I love this song. I love the hungarian songs. Greeting from Slovakia

this song, and this movie still affects me... one of the most beautiful movies ever to seen in my life. I praise the director, actors and all the people (stuff?) who helped to create it. Beautiful Art.

[@jubinne]

What a magnificent movie and the soundtrack will haunt me for ever. I watch the begining of the film all the time with the plane flying over the desert and the scene where he is carring her out of the cave crying. Jubinne

[@bulatovic71]

I love this movie, so really he has earned an Academy Award, all are excellent, the actors, director, screenplay, music ... a beautiful film, full of emotions, sadness, pain, and love, sacrifice ...BRAVO! ♥

[@Goose_76]

This is beyond beautiful, I've no words to describe it... "Love, love, you wretched agony, why didn't you bloom on top of every tree? On top of every tree, on a leaf of a chestnut tree, so that every girl and boy could have picked thee? For I picked once, but let it slip away,I picked once and let is slip away. I would pick again if I found a good one,a good and nice one,if I found my past love. What wouldn't I do for my past love? I’d spoon the water from the sea, I’d pick the pearls from down beneath to bind a pearl wreath my past love, for thee."

... Love, love Wretched anguish Why didn’t you blossom On the top of each tree On the top of each tree On the leaf of a nut-tree Let each boy and girl pluck you ‘Cause I’ve already plucked And also missed it 'Cause I’ve already plucked And also missed it Ey, I would pluck again If I found a good one A good one, a nice one My old flame And for my old flame What I wouldn’t do The water out of a sea I would scoop with a spoon And on the sea bottom I would pick tiny pearls And for my old flame I would bind a pearl-wreath.

[@RamonInsua]

I was given this song in an online course at HarvardX as an example of a lament. It is of Transylvanian origin. The translation is as follows: "Oh love, oh love... Accursed torture. Why did you not blossom in every treetop? On the top of every tree, on the leaf of a walnut tree, so it would have been plucked by every maiden and unmarried young man"

[@ritagorzo9523]

Hungary song!

[@attilaburi1913]

No, you are wrong. It is a traditional hungarian song sang by Sebestyèn Marta, who was born in Budapest. It has nothing to do with Transylvania nor Romania...

[@Gubancosful]

It's not wrong saying Transilvanian, but you have to know, that Transilvania is the geografical name of that beautiful and big part of Hungary, wich in 1920 was cut and taken away from Hungary and given to Romania.

[@RamonInsua]

@@Gubancosful You're quite right! I should have also mentioned the language was Hungarian... It is Hungarian isn't it?
