Song in Gothic/Latin: Slayers of the Huns [Battle of the Catalaunian Plains] | The Skaldic Bard
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 11. 2023
- Here’s an original song I wrote and performed, this time in Gothic and Latin (with Classical Latin pronunciation). The song is structured to be exactly 50% of each language to symbolise the coming together of two great historical European forces, and to give the perspective of each side. It was quite the labour of love putting this together - I'm not sure I've ever worked so hard!
The song revolves around the invasion of Attila the Hun into Western Europe. To have a chance at beating the mighty Huns, Theodoric, King of the Visigoths, and Flavius Aetius, a Roman general, put their differences aside (they had previously been at war against each other) and joined forces to fight their common enemy, Attila and his Hunnic army, at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains. In a mighty charge, the Goths captured a key strategic hill position, while the Romans arranged their troops in a slightly unorthodox fashion to outmanoeuvre Attila.
They ultimately won the day, but the King of the Goths, Theodoric I, lost his life in the process. The Romans decided not to kill Attila when they had the chance, perhaps hoping he would cool off after his defeat… but as it turns out, that was to be an unwise decision, as he returned to invade the Western Empire again the following year.
Fun fact: King Theodoric was JRR Tolkien’s inspiration for the character Théoden King in Lord of the Rings, and the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains inspired The Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

I hope you enjoy. Please leave a comment if you did and subscribe to the channel for more. If you’re feeling generous, donations really help me put some more time aside to make videos: www.buymeacoffee.com/theskaldicbard. Thank you!
Well you'll get many more awesome comments. Your channel fills a niche I've always wanted. I'm sure many others feel the same!
I hope many see this upload, and I hope I'll see many more of them. I'd love to see you do more of this style, like the one where you had mixed Old Norse and East Slavic. It's wonderful to see how these peoples interacted.
Thank you for the awesome and epic facts! Fascinating!
This is fabulous! Great work here! ♥️♥️♥️
Super!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Aetius: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Barbarian
Thorismund: What about side by side with a friend?
Aetius: Aye, I could do that.
Love it
♥️♥️♥️
Thorismond ? I've heard of a Theodoric king of the Wisigoth but never of a Thorismund, who is he ?
@@utredmaethor769 Son of Theodoric. His charge routed the Huns.
@@michalplaneta1586 oooh thanks ! ^^
A song like this helps us to remember who we are, where we come from, and whose shoulders we stand upon.
I stand on the shoulders of the Huns and the Magyars.....
@@kbeetlesI stand with my Hun ancestors as a Turkish
I am impressed you pulled off the switching between two different languages so well.
I also never fail to be surprised at how much of the Gothic language has survived.
Thank you! And yes, God bless Wulfila
@@SkaldBardYou being Catholic, the theology of Wulfila is anathema but there is no doubting his genius is crafting the language. It's closeness to Koine Greek makes the Gothic Bible the single best word for word Germanic language Bible. Luther is an amateur in comparison.
I would love more Gothic songs.
roman:so who are we fighting?
goth:everybody who has small eyes
Loved it when the Visigoths said “It’s Visigothing time” and Visigothed all over the place.
Majority of Hunnic army were Franks, Gepids, Antes, Sclaves, Ostrogoths, Thuringians...
@@Adil_Turysbek_TVRCHunnic allies* and there were franks on both sides
No matter what happens you’ll always have a community who’ll support you, I hope you’re not to devastated, the songs amazing so we’re all proud
Means a lot, thanks buddy.
Did I miss something? Why would he be devastated?
@@dichterdenker3111 It was in reference to the fact I had to reupload this song and lost some of the wholesome comments people had left on the first video, nothing major!
@@dichterdenker3111first thought he had lost a family member or such... 😅 oh well... things are ok then
This is truly a masterpiece, one of those you can rarely encounter, "the hidden gem"
Ah, thanks a lot
Damn Skald, that beat slaps, and the two languages mixed together is a treat for the ears
"God wills that we should win"
That line never fails to give me goosebumps
Same vibes as "In this sign, you shall conquer" that God delivered to Constantine the night before the Milvian Bridge.
I was born very close to the place where the battle took place.
Salute from Châlons en Champagne, Gallia.
Awesome, hail from Britain
"J'étais là, à la Bataille des Champs Catalauniques. Combattant aux côtés d'Aetius et de Théodoric le Goth."
- Le Père Armand, Age of Empires II
This is a milstone achievement! Using the two languages to convey both perspectives helped greatly deepen the song's atmosphere. Also, I would like to say, the historical event that was the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, along with the whole Migration Period really, represents one of the most underappreciated eras of history.
Thank you very much! And I agree, it's an amazing history and remains largely unknown by the average person
@@SkaldBardone of these turning points in history... aside the romans, theodoric's wisigoths and the hunnic cinfederation, many other tribes were present on the day of the catalaunic fields. A bit like Liepzig in 1813, a battle of the Nations : Europe deciding its fate for centuries to come in the span of a few hours.
This hits absolutely hard. I like late Roman history from Stilicho to Theodoric the Great(Goths were the last to preserve the civilization of Western Rome), and this Roman/Gothic song perfectly encapsulates these epic times and one of the most important battles in the history of entire Europe.
Thank you, my friend - glad you think it did it justice :)
Rip stilicho.
Man I love multilingual mousic
Great melody Skald! Really makes you feel the weight these soldiers had to have on their shoulders knowing they were Europe's last line against Hunnic incursions.
God bless Attila
This video should be named "How to immediately get people interested into this particular topic" This song goes HARD and is AMAZING to the point that I now want to learn about this.
Greatest battle in all of history
Pov: The nerd and the bully team up, to beat the quiet kid.
WHO IS the nerd?
The Romans, I guess?
The opposite really
The nerd and quiet kid team up against the bully (The Huns)
@@steyn1775agree
Quiet psychopath?
Gothic is so beautiful
Agreed. Gothic is an enriched language, tbh.
Something feels so right about looking left and right to your comrades and knowing this is where you win or this is where you die....this song and all the others you produce hearken back to such times....thank you and keep up the good work
This makes me miss being in Iraq
Man, so incredible changing between Gothic and Latin in the same song, this must have taken serious practice
Huns been real quiet since this dropped
Vibing to this whole night before exam
Excellent presentation and high harmonization, not just songs, but works of this time and what was happening in those days!
Sir, i leave a comment again, you made many boys men with your songs, greetings from Transylvania 🇷🇴
This song really helps while learning. I don't know why, but it boosts productivity
Honestly this is just brilliant. The battle of the Catalaunian fields is one of my favourite moments in history and this song really captures the epic drama of it all. I love the mixture of lyrics in Latin and Gothic as well.
Thanks for the comment, buddy - I'm glad you feel it does the event justice :-)
Damn, sorry to hear about needing to reupload the video. It definitely sucks when minor inconveniences like that find a way to sour the mood.
But anyway, the song is terrific. It must've been hard to switch between two admittedly different languages in pronunciation and structuring, but came out very well in the end. I also didn't know about that fact about Theodoric being the inspiration for Theoden. Sure, I'd seen the name 'Theodwin' as a Saxon name, but I didn't know precisely where Tolkien got the rest of the inspiration from.
Keep up the good work and the audience will keep on loving it.❤
Thanks, my friend, appreciate the support! It was quite a challenge but great fun to do
Purely epical battle song! More of these please!
Definitely the song to listen to while playing AoE2's Attila Campaign!
Same 🔥
This is amazing! I love this take on how it might have felt for historic enemies to join forces
Dear Bard. All your songs, every single one, are fantastic, but this one is more - it´s a hymn, anthem, reverberating deep in the bones themselves. The way you blended Gothic and Latin, the heartbeat of drums and crescendo, I have no words. The more I listen to it, the more amazed I am. You created something beautiful and so strong...
Thanks so much for this very touching comment!
Thank you for making these tales known, and thank you for doing it so beautifully. There is much to know about the past which people do not care about, and so much beauty and glory not appreciated. Who could be found today who'd know any significant thing about this time? All these upheavals, migrations, changes, losses and great achievements, and people know barely the name of Attila the Hun, yet have forgotten everything else.
So true. Thank you, my friend
Bro, that was so epic. Pretty much describing a temporary alliance between Germanics and Romans to defeat the greater evil that were the Huns
evil is saluting you
Don't ever stop. Your songs are bangers
Damn man, I'm hooked on these songs like heroin.
"The tribes of Europe gather and fight for their fatherlands"
It’s beautiful…
I’ve listened to this for five hours now
Beautifully done!
This only makes me yearn for more songs revolving this era..
From Stilicho and Alaric, to Belisarius and the Gothic War. It's all so good! And so too, are you, my friend!
As always, an awesome performance!
I really liked the portrayal of the different cultures there fighting side by side against the
common foe. It was well done.
The stories of the Goths and Romans during this period are so fascinating to me. It's always nice to
learn more about this time.
I apreciate this piece of art not only because of the good combination of lyrics and instrumental, but aswell because of the Gothic. This beutiful extinct language is rear to be heard anywhere from now on. The only exeption i can mention could be the age of empires, but even that is not complete. You made a brilliant work out here💪🏻
Another really good work! The Gothic and Latin used together create a great atmosphere!
Thank you, friend!
Outstanding. I don t usually write comments but you deserve to hear it. Gratulation amice!
Thanks, my friend!
So much spirit in this! ❤
It is 3 am, listening this while I am completing my late assignments. Thanks man!
I am speechless. It is that awasome!
United Western Europe!
I've only recently discovered your music, but I'm digging it. I'm running a Pathfinder campaign in a magical version of our world (1890s, though), and your song about the Last Varangians inspired one of the factions. This might also inspire something in that world...
Last great breath of Rome, first mighty roar of Goths, last song of huns, last ballad of ancient....
How is this rome's last great breath? Rome still existed for centuries until 1453
Huns are there to this day, they call themselves Turkic.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682Till Huns (Turks) returned.
@@Adil_Turysbek_TVRCHungary!!!
Where was Aetius after the Fight?
😉
I think I would be inclined to disagree with at least part of your statement there. Firstly, I do not believe this was the last great breath of Rome as general Belisarius, under the command of famous emperor, Justinian, conquered much of the lost parts of the empire and restored them to almost what they were when they were a part of the Roman Empire at its absolute geographical peak with regards to size and population density.
This is peak culture : D
Truly a culturally cultured culture moment of all times.
I love it! You make my dream comes true! Thanks!
Just marvelous! Goosebumps over my body!
It's Beautiful song
Very great song 👍🏻 I played it to a pregnant woman and the baby was born and asked instantly, where its shield and sword were
Loool
You earned my subscription and like just insane my blood boil in my vains
I was already loving this before the singing even started. Love the two languages together Skaldic Bard! You did an excellent job. I didn't know that about King Theoden and all. He's one of my favorite characters in LOTR.
If I'll ever go into politics, my main goal will be to make this anthem of European union.
Instantly mesmerized once I first listened to the beginning part. I’m enamored by the talent and effort you possess. Quite the banger, as per usual. :)
This is just perfection i mean every detail made with so much precision and patience. It makes my day brighter to hear any musical creation of The Skaldic Bard. Accidentally i made my soulmate to like your music as much as i do and i am grateful for that. 😁
You never fail to deliver epicness. Keep it going!
Another brilliant song from the Bard. Love the bringing together of Gothic and Latin along with such epic music. So much talent here ……. yet again I’m learning about another mighty battle from history.
Last of the Romans, where did you lead?
Did you seek to slay Attila on his monstrous steed?
Last of the Romans, why did you die?
Did royal envy send you to where you now lie?
Yes, Lord of Hosts, I was the scourge of the Huns.
I slew Attila's bodyguard at the Battle of Chalons.
And yes, God Almighty, by envy I was slain.
Valentinian III was the last Roman's bane.
is that an actual poem?
just curious
@@hemanthp3610It's the first two stanzas of one that I wrote several years ago.
I absolutely love it. Big fan of yours, keep it up 👍
So this channel is a kind of farya farij but more into norse culture. That sounds good. Good job
Always happy to hear new song from You, this one is something surprising to me, but still unique and epic🙃
Monumental work!
Sometimes I get a distinct vibe of folk metal or "pagan" black metal from the music in these songs (I use quotations there due to most of these songs being Christian/Catholic). Just a way the riffs sound, and the song structuring, especially the way it builds into that slow epic sounding chorus at 1:13. That riff and melody/harmony sounds like something I've heard in plenty of pagan black metal before, just this is performed with authentic instrumentation as opposed to metallic instrumentation and with Christian-oriented lyrics instead of the typical Norse pagan/Slavic pagan ones. I have no idea if you even listen to any metal or not, or have any idea of what I'm talking about, but it's an interesting thing I've noticed and have come to love.
Interesting you should say that - metal has been my favourite genre my entire life (growing up with brothers that listen to it etc), and as I grew up, I became particularly into heavy/folk/borderline death metal, so elements from these naturally seep into my work. As you allude to, though, I dislike the anti-Christian themes in a lot of metal songs, so in a way I suppose I'm reclaiming the many beautiful aspects of the genre to fit my own worldview lel
@@SkaldBard Hey that's awesome man. Really cool to hear that. Are you familiar with the English band Forefather at all? They are a duo of two brothers that make a type of Anglo-Saxon black metal. They may be right up your alley. They did a version of the Medieval English song Mirie it Is.

beautiful piece of music from a time rarely covered by history
Great man. This is so cool. Can you make from the hunic side too?
Awesome song Skaldic! Hoping to see a Teutonic Order or Knights Templar song soon!
Faura Guda Jah Othala, Habam Triggwa Mith Rumonim is such a powerful line. Even with enemies like the Goths and Romans, an even greater threat managed to see them ally with one another against it.
Romans Always hated Cheatcoded Horde archers. horse archers are nuts BE IT parthians, huns or the Most OP mongols
The last crossover of the roman manga. Insane homage.
dont forget the eastern roman empire sequal
@@Armored_Ariete oh yeah, the northmen arrive to the party at Constantinopolis.
Fun fact: Aetius was of Scythian origin
Epic once again!
I'm Hun, saluting to Rome
The final episode of the greatest serie that was never filmed.
This song is utterly amazing. I have a suggestion. Would you consider making a modified version of this song, where you have barbarian singing in Gothic, and Roman singing Latin, offering their mutual admiration & comradary for each other. Truly a legendary time in history. Both barbarian and Roman had an appreciation for each other even while sometimes they were at odds. They had an odd respect for each other. Something that seems rare nowadays.
If this request is already present in the video, which I don't think it is, forgive me. I'm not a linguist.
I can imagine "The Skaldic Bard" making music for a "The Witcher" game.
It’s really amazing to hear gothic in song like this, sounds amazing and so does the entire song. It really breathes life into the events it covers. Did any sources inspire the specific lyrics you chose?
Simply amazing. This is a european cultural treasure. Despite the historical significance the battle of the Catalaunian Plains no other media has ever been able to do it the epic justice it deserves.
Would love to hear a version with two singers, like @the_miracle_aligner for the latin part
This battle was not signifcant really, the battle of Nedao was.
Even more epic the third time that I listen to it!
God bless you sir!
Hello there
General Kenobi, you are the bold one
Would love to get a karaoke version of it!!!! I love the song and I can promote it all over the world
Well done
Keep it up
Amazing...
By the God's thank you for yet another piece of history my friend! Hail to such rich and powerful music 🎶 ❤
I loved this so much! I even wrote a book that contained this battle. Then a Romano-Frank, my main character, later marries a Visigoth woman after the battle. May I use this song in my sequel book? I'll credit you and if you want a bit of the profit, I can give that to you as well.
Hey there, can you email me with some details at skaldbardofficial@gmail.com? Sounds cool!
What a banger!

@@SkaldBard It's back now and we can enjoy it that's the important thing ;D
It is a very niche pleasure to finally find someone that pays hommage to our germanic and celtic ancestors without falling for the teenage neo-paganism. Chistianism made civilisation out of these proud, although quite brutal, ancesters.

Great job! I just discovered your channel with this song and I am loving all your creations. Keep doing this amazing music with ancient languages. This song is very inspiring, I always wondered if someone would ever do one about he Catalaunian Plains and here you are! I am loving your style, which reminds me a lot to Clamavi de Profundis.

Ultimate song
Im crazy about for your music. Its a wery great work of art. You inspired me to create many characters from my book. and I have a question, how many languages do you know? or how do you make songs in so many languages?
