  • This song is sung in the Occitan language and was composed by the great medieval King Richard the Lionheart in the late 12th century. He wrote this song during his imprisonment by the Duke of Austria, Leopold V after being captured from his return from the 3rd Crusade.
    Ja nus hons pris ne dira sa raison
    Adroitement, se dolantement non;
    Mais par effort puet il faire chançon.
    Mout ai amis, mais povre sont li don;
    Honte i avront se por ma reançon
    - Sui ça deus yvers pris.
    Ce sevent bien mi home et mi baron-
    Ynglois, Normant, Poitevin et Gascon-
    Que je n'ai nul si povre compaignon
    Que je lessaisse por avoir en prison;
    Je nou di mie por nule retraçon,
    -Mais encor sui je pris.

    Una medieval melodía de singular belleza, tanto lírica como instrumental y por supuesto, la voz ,es lo más descollante por su vigor, su color, su armonía, su dicción y su belleza. Qué enorme y sentida composición hizo el ,en ése entonces, desgraciado Rey, Ricardo Corazón de León, estando perdido y desolado en una celda de una prisión, después de sus valerosas gestas en la Tercera Cruzada.

      @@johnharris3335 I litteraly said he wasn't french either in my message, i said he was Occitan, cause his culture is what defines him. If you want to talk about his blood then his mother is from Aquitaine (Inside France but Occitan culture) and his father is From Anjou (wich is also inside France for the record, so if we are talking of blood, Richard is close to the french, but as i said that doesnt matter.)
      Also culture defines you, not blood, my parents are australian and swiss but i grew up in France, thus im french because my culture is french, no swiss or australian would recognise me as one of them.
      Also African Americans are called like this cause in america some black people have developped their own culture, probly due to the segregation. This is why you never hear "African-english" or "african-french" cause unlike in america black populations haven't developped their own culture based on their ethnicity but have assimilated into the regular population.

    If I’m not mistaken, the language used in this song is medieval french, or old-french. It’s rely funny, as a french speaking person, to see how this feels more like the common speach of the people, but mixed with Latin phonology (more than in modern french). It’s very funny to listen to 😂

    • @Kagarine54
      @Kagarine54 Před rokem +9

      France before was divised in a lot of local dialects, but the two big main ones were the Languadoc and the Langue d'Oïl, called like that because of how they pronounced yes at that time "Oc" and "Oïl". The Languadoc was practiced in South France, while the other one was more used in North France. The modern french language originate from the Langue d'Oïl of the north... There wasn't really any definite "old french" in the medieval ages, that's only somewhat after the French Revolution that the government started to uniformize the language for institutions across the regions. Then, free obligatory school blasted away all the old local languages, as you'd get punished if the teachers caught you speaking something else than Parisian French... :)
