[freejaytea]

Brilliant music with a form of nostalgia that reflects on the soul.

[keoni29]

A composer used this for a C64 game :)

@keoni29 Iron Lord, great game!

[Laulanmad]

Es espanol antiguo, seguramente un dialecto provenzal (territorio norte de Espana, sur occidente de Francia, donde está Andorra).

[Adonea29]

Maravillosas, las dos. Gracias! Acaso teneis la version con Margaret Philpot, es bella tambien, pero no la puedo compartir.

[mluisaan]

Lindíssima!... Ainda ando a procurar as cantigas medievais da nossa lírica comum! Gracias tantas (muchas gracias?)... nunca sè se hablo iatiano o español... desculpa.

[MadameDeces]

Great! amazing, thanks f0r upl0ading this!

Can't wait t0 sing it :-)

[MaBu888]

What language is this?

[MediaFilter]

I like the first version more, although I love them both. The first one seems deeper, sadder. The slow, deep cadence makes me think of long, difficult sea voyages in the middle ages & renaissance. Cycles of life and death.

@TheDanielleFairy Isn't it just beautiful?

[TheDanielleFairy]

@MediaFilter

Of course it is!

[Njurvar]

Interesante la pronunciación de "nay" y "moy".

[rafaelhsouza]

En que lengua está?

[sh4m69]

@rafaelhsouza Es una mezcla de varios idiomas, la mayoría de las palabras son castellanas; otras son palabras o frases adulteradas de origen francés, italiano y catalán.

[rafaelhsouza]

@sh4m69 Ah, pues sí, como "La Tricotea". Gracias! :-)

[TheDanielleFairy]

@sh4m69

I think it's old spanish...Medieval spanish, and still mixed with a bit of portuguese...

[jameslouder]

@sh4m69 I was trying to figure this out myself, and I also thought of the text of "La Tricotea"--hard to understand word for word, but pretty clear if you don't think about it too much. Was this, I wonder, a sort of Iberian 'lingua franca' that wasn't too careful of regional pride, but would allow you to get by all over Castille, Aragon, Catalonia, a language spoken wherever soldiers, travelers, vagabonds, gypsies came together with their whores and doxies over a full wineskin.
