Faun Gaia

[ForceCommander93]

I didnt think Faun were also singing in ancient greek...Epic song and I salute you from Greece

[TheFionuir]

Is breá liom é.Tá sé go hiontach ar fad

[Nemesis816]

This is the ultimate Germanic heritage song.

[WaitingMove]

@Nemesis816

It's on Greek and about Greek mythology. Educate yourself please.

[willardpatrick2000]

great pics too!

[1dragonleader]

Faun, a great group and your photos go with this song really well.

Well done.

Thanks for sharing too !!

Kann mir vllt. jemand den Originalen Songtext geben? (Latein?) Danke.

[Elchbaby75]

@TheWitchcrafter

Hier der original Text

Gaían pamm´äteiran a-eísomai

(ä-üthémethlon presbístan,

h`ä phérbei epi chtonì panth`hopós estín;)

ämèn hósa chthóna dían epérchetai äd hósa pónton,

äd hósa potontaí, táde phérbetai ek séthen ólbu.

chaíre theon m´ätär,

áloch Ùranu astero-éntos.

[pouffsie]

what exactly is the relation between this gaelic song (i presume) sang by a german band (again, i presume) to norse mythology(i am quite definietyly sure), as the pictures all describe stories from norse mythology?

[tysken94]

@pouffsie people who are fascinated by pagan culture and dont forget what happened usually are fascinated by both celtic and norse mythology, since both are very close in culture.

[DrSmeaGollum]

gefällt mir!!! schönes lied ich finde Faun ist das beste der Welt, Faun ist MEINE Droge :D

[dieKalthaushummel]

wunderschönes lied.... gaia ist "mutter erde" und weiblich.... auf den bildern oben sehe ich fast nur kriegerische männer, - passt für mich nicht ;-)

[amccann7]

Chills! Love Faun & their MAGIC music.

[goodstockmedia]

Thank you for posting. I love Faun.

[drum084]

schönes lied aber die bilder passen ja mal garnicht zu "Gaia" ^^

[DAlienzombie]

@drum084 Schon, eher zu Nechein Man.

[silentmoonraven]

I love this song too. <3

ich liebe faun! sie haben so schone musik!

[NadineLuzyXiaraLakas]

Top<3

[nodeterin]

Which is the oriental string instrument they are playing?

[colouredmirrorball]

What language is this song in? I'm not sure, but I think it's Greek... I can't speak Greek, but I saw some of it during Latin courses. This song has lots of th's, ch's and ph's, and the "ä" souds like an èta. Also there are -an and -on endings on the words. It also mentions Gaia/Gaea and Uranus/Ouranos. I am pretty sure it is Greek ;-)

I love this song. Can't stop listening to it.

[animez15]

@colouredmirrorball It doesn't sound like Greek or Latin to me. It may be like all their other songs though, German. hmm...maybe. I'm only saying maybe because I've only heard 3 songs, and Egil Saga was german.

[wordrober]

@animez15 It is ancient Greek. The lyrics they sing in fact are:

Γαῖαν παμμήτειραν ἀείσομαι, (...)

ἠμὲν ὅσα χθόνα δῖαν ἐπέρχεται ἠδ’ ὅσα πόντον

ἠδ’ ὅσα πωτῶνται, τάδε φέρβεται ἐκ σέθεν ὄλβου. (...)

Xαῖρε, θεῶν μήτηρ, ἄλοχ’ Οὐρανοῦ ἀστερόεντος.

It's part of the Homeric hymn "Εις Γήν μητέρα πάντων" - "To Earth the mother of all". The reason it doesn't sound like Greek imho is because they manage to combine the ancient Greek pronunciation with their German accent.. but in a unique, wonderful way.

[Korban3]

I really liked the Hammer blasting the cross too. Christianity's intolerance of other religions can kiss my shiny, metal, ethincally accepting ass.

[TheGuyFromChicago]

where can you find the pictures at 0:23 4:28 and 6:17 ?

[SandmanForestwalker]

My source of positive energy!

[NecaradeusXCIX]

I really love the 3rd image on this video (Thor's hammer zapping the cross). I'm sorry my German ist no gut. I should work on it.

[VallainVallain]

die valkyre am ende macht H.gruß ^^

[Nalauko92]

@VallainVallain Eigentlich hat es den Gruß schon vorher gegeben, aber Hitler hatte die Angewohnheit, alte germanische(und völlig harmlose) Bräuche total aus dem Zusammenhang zu reißen. Genauso wie mit dem Hakenkreuz, das eigentlich ein Symbol für Glück und Stärke war. Jetzt wird man es für immer mit den Nazis in Verbindung bringen:-(

[Elchbaby75]

songtext in deutsch:

in german:

Die Erde will ich besingen, die Allmutter

(Die fest begründete, die älteste aller wesen.

Sie nährt alle Geschöpfe, alle, die auf der göttlichen erde sich regen)

Alle, die in den Meeren sich regen, und alle die fliegen.

Von ihrer fülle leben sie alle.

Sei gegrüßt Mutter Erde,

Gattin des gestirnten Himmels.

[Jaeger203]

@xFlyingWithTheWindx: die nordischen Bilder sind durchaus gerechtfertigt, da auch die Germanen in mehreren Überlieferungen nicht nur von Ginungagap sprechen, sondern auch von Gaia, der großen Urmutter, aus der alles geboren wurde. Vergleicht man griechische, römische und germanische Gottheiten, so sieht man leicht, dass sie alle in den meisten Fällen von denselben Persönlichkeiten sprechen. Zeus -Tiwaz - Thor.

[jin54363]

the first epic photo is found in google, write "valhalla"

[CaptKujata]

Can someone please tell me where I can find the English translation? I've had a terrible time finding it!

[Elchbaby75]

@CaptKujata sorry my english is no so good in english: I want to sing of the earth, they allmother (The firmly reasonable ones, oldest of all beings. She feeds all creatures, everybody, them on the divine ones earths stir) Everybody who stir in the seas and all flies. They all live on her fullness. Is greeted a mother earth, Wife of the starry sky.

[SandmanForestwalker]

@Elchbaby75 Good enough for me! )O( I don't need a translation to feel the Energy of this song.

[ToeCutter454]

@CaptKujata copied and pasted straight out of Google translate german > english.

The earth I will sing, the Great Goddess

(The detailed proof, the eldest of all beings.

It nourishes all creatures, all the earth to the divine in rain)

All those in the seas begin to stir, and all the fly.

Their fill of it all live.

Hail Mother Earth

Wife of the starry sky.

[alexthered62]

@CaptKujata

The earth I will sing of the Great Goddess

(founded the firm, the oldest of all beings.

It nourishes all creatures, all the earth to the divine to rain)

All the oceans in the rain, and all the fly.

Their fill of it all live.

Hail, mother earth,

Wife of the starry sky.

[Phantom51127]

Beautiful Nordic song.

[paganwolfspider]

hooyah vikings woot my ancestry goes all they way back to them how wonderful to keep this alive :D :D

[SamaelClayman]

One of the greatest medieval/pagan band :)

[silentmoonraven]

Es gibt viele Bilder des Vaters Odin, dieses Lied ist so schön!

[xFlyingWithTheWind]

Das ist doch Alt-Griechisch was die da singen... Die Bilder sind schön und passen auch gut zu dem mittelalterlische, keltischen Unterton der Gruppe aber ich glaube, einige Tempel mit Säulen und Heroenstatuen oder so hätten besser gepasst

Nichts für ungut! Bei einer so tollen Gruppe mit so genialen Songs kommt es auf die Musik an und für die bekommst du ein großes DANKE^^

[GigaberosCH]

Mijöllnir passt super zu Faun und besonders zu diesem Lied. Danke für die super pics und das Lied, passt super

[Grdsman]

Gaia, Greek Earth mother titan also named as Gaea or Gea.

I guess in that way the Norse images don't really relate... but they and the music are nice any way )O(

[labanp]

where could i find these photos? they are amazing

and of course faun is awesome as always :)

[BaphometScience]

0:12 Thor Conquering christianity(or at least thats what I see)

I like that =D

[vivalaliberty]

My complements, it must have taken some time to find all these nice pictures.

[DeLachendeWolf]

For a nordic song, its sounds rather eastern to me...

[WhiteSilverAngel]

I thought the same thing, even so, I think its beautiful

[texasnewt]

This rendition of "Gaia" by Faun showcases harmonious vocals, and I like the underlying rhythm as well. Thanks for posting this!

[izuslayer]

muy buenas imagenes

[Zionlivity1988]

Wahnsinn

[RAKIKAVUNBEYAZPEYNIR]

great... harika

[Gremlin8264]

Da kann ich mich nur anschliessen, mal ganz davon abgesehn, dass das die Musik allein auch schon 5 ***** wert ist....

[Hardrock1911]

wunderschöne bilder :)

[texasnewt]

Kudos! What a superb music video -- the norse motif is very powerful with the sound track.

[Chairswinger]

1:03 best

[noonoobaggins]

Faun, a great group and your photos go with this song really well.

Well done.

Thanks for sharing.
