7+ centuries later and it still GOES HARD

[ChristianEditVideos]

The Medieval "we live in a society" song.

Latin didn't die
It just blossomed into several beautiful languages

If Occitan had been preserved in France, there would be more "continuity", like a corridor of intelligibility connecting Italy, France and Spain. Provençal has a very rich literary and musical culture in the work of the Medieval Troubadours, who were an important influence for Italian Poets like Dante and Cavalcanti.

I saw the wolf, the fox, and the hare dancing in the circle around the tree... and I've started to think to myself: I should better skip these strange mushrooms next time.

[Lando-kk]

This is the epitome of “I’ll listen to anything”

[YourBoss_CORP]

Funny how people in the 13th century already invented the term "getting fucked over".

It's eerie how familiar this is, and yet how different.

[eduardcamacho]

its very similar to catalan, fascinating

[TreeDragon]

This ancient song strikes a complex feeling I often have but struggle to find sympathy with; I look out at the beauty of nature, and creatures doing their own thing, while stuck at my gas station job and think "I wasn't born to live like this."

[HandosChannell]

As a Sardinian, I understood almost all the song. It's incredible how close are Romance languages

[mnk]

It represents medieval society: The wolf is the King, the fox the aristocracy and the hare is the the clergy. The peasant works all year for little pay and gets screwed by them while all they do is dance.

The context of this song is still relatable to this day

[paolomartinelli]

Sounds like Lombard, my mother tongue. Incredible

[jaykubisanidiot]

I've become obsessed with this song

[Xerxes]

In Québec, some people, usually elders, will pronounce "arbre" the same way they say it in that song. Although most of our ancestors came from the "langue d'oïl" area.

[gyorkshire]

The wolf is the nobles, the fox is the merchants and the hare is the church.

[ГлебК-ул]

Пусть я и не понимаю ни единого слова, но всё равно песня звучит очень красиво.

[Euphoria-gzhu]

This has got to be the missing link between French, Italian, and Catalan since all 3 of them seem to understand it perfectly.
