  • μαλακα.....

  • Amazing!Fantastic! The most perfec female voice I've been heard...

    A personal and completely different version to interprete this Baudelaire's poem!

    Diamanda Galás is the perfection...hear her music in general, see the others videos, and you'll see that!

    Kissesss, my darkest Lady!!!

  • Diamanda is Greek and she is very , very influenced by the story of her people..now millions of people were massacred during the Anatolian war..she sings about human cruelty because her people knows about it. She is trying to makes us aware that human beings are capable of evil and we better accept is and do something..It would be so easy to ignore AIDS, discrimination and war but she does not and well it is strong but she's speaking about hard issues. She is not SAtanic.,

  • @Yuektawekai

    dude in anatolian war not greeks but armenians were murdered in millions

  • It increases your intensity, whatever you are doing. I was reading about Buddhism and Taoism at the time. Avoid it if you are already in an adverse situation.

  • EL DIABLO NO EXISTE SOLO EXISTE EL HOMBRE Y DIOS

  • whoa, holy shit, i stumbled upon this searching for baudelaire and i get this

    crazy bitch. this witch is an Elvira that got into the medicine cabinet. why am i intrigued, now i have tea

  • "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else." CS Lewis

  • @Uluwatusunrise the mind sees what it want to see. shiva is working miracles to those who choose to see it that way. allah.yahweh.krishna...the sunrise validates there existence too.

  • @SATANICMINDS “There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors, and hail a materialist or magician with the same delight” Allah--who or what is this entity claiming there is no God but Allah? Please read Ezekiel 28:11-19.  Or, God's War on Terror by former terrorist Walid Shoebat.

  • @Uluwatusunrise I FIND PEOPLE WHO DEAL IN ABSOLUTES TO BE VERY ARROGANT AND FAR FROM HUMBLE. WHY DO U KEEP QUOTING C.S. LEWIS? I'VE READ THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS AND I'VE READ THE APOCALYPTIC EZEKIEL. WHY DONT YOU READ CARL JUNG OR JOSEPH CAMPBELL OR HOWARD BLOOM? THE BIBLE HOLDS NO TRUTH THAN ANY OTHER WRITTEN WORD THAT PROVIDES SOMEONE WITH CLARITY.THE BIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST OFFERS MORE CONFUSION THAN ANYTHING. YOUR REASONING IS PARANOID. I'VE SEEN THE WAYS OF GOD,I'LL TAKE THE DEVIL ANYDAY-PEACE

  • You are in deep and very lost. Make no mistake about it: like the addict refusing help, the gates of hell are locked...FROM THE INSIDE.

    "There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. For those who knock it is opened. "

  • @Uluwatusunrise who in the hell do you think you are? your no more privy to truth than anyone else. i'm in deep? i need some really big boots to walk through the crap of opinions you espouse as truth. but please lets end this debate!!!! your right,i'm wrong,your good,i'm bad,your truth and i'm a lie! happy? it's disgusting that you think u can speak for the entities of some metaphysical realm. and now i quote joseph campbell,"adults with imaginary friends are STOOOOOOPID!!!!!

  • @SATANICMINDS Okay man. Listen, when you find yourself wondering if there is more to life--there is! Listen to the video "Save Me From Myself Brian "Head" Welch" You probably know more about the former Korn guitarist than I do as his isn't my style of music, but I've listened to interviews with Brian and he has a story worth sharing with the world. It might resonate with you.

  • @Uluwatusunrise who in the fuck are you to think you know? youre a delusional liar who is afraid of death and uncertainty.you've picked a lie and your sticking to it. kudos! i prefer to infinitley ponder the the great mystery because thats what it is you fool! you have now been blocked you impossible know- it- all and possesser of absolute divine truth. in short......FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!

  • Is this supposed to be hilarious?

  • @Neweddy24 its whatever you want it to be.

  • Hace mucho no la escuchaba!!! ... no tengo ni idea que dice pero es que muy chevere!

  • she's a true Siren :)

  • a little education for the Christians out their. 1. Satan was a title not a single person til The King James version. Tranlating from Hebrew to Greek and Latin and then English you lose alot in that translation. Satan was the teaster of Faith. Lucifer was but one Satan Gabriel is supposed to be the current Satan.Lucifer means bringer of light. like Prometheus. Except instead of fire he brought the light of awareness.

  • @bogscraper Samael was the angel of death and chief of Satans. It's kinda sad how many Christians don't understand that Satan was a class of angels not a single entity. I only know about this because of my interest in Satanism.

  • FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WHIT YOUR FUCKING satan FUCKING IDIOTS ....BELIVE IN GOD MOTHERFUCKERS

  • this is so ridicules .I m wondering what people can do for some extra publicity and money.This is no art.this is just a piece of crap.

  • Goood, is the best perfomance of the poem, i have already said it.

  • Written by Baudelaire, one of the greatest poets of 19th century, sung by Galas, one of the best performers of her time..the result is obviously mentally ill art....and it's amazing!!

  • Stunning interpretation of a an amazing poem. The dark sublime.

  • I like her voice

  • Sen, ey Şeytan bu uzun sefaletime acı!

  • Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!

  • It's terrifying...that is what makes it so brilliant.

  • Can someone tell me what she's singing, please? I can't speak in french, but I would like to know it...^^

  • @artickvonfrozen This is "les litanies de satan" a french poem from "les fleurs du mal" by Charles Beaudelaire

  • Comment removed

  • Diamanda Galas... le feu clair qui remplit les spaces limpides.

  • wtf!

  • CHE LOKA

  • this is ART!

  • @Jasinna Do your History homework. Enki was NOT Satan, that's just neo-christian propaganda. He was a benevolent god of Mesopotamian origin. He is known as "Father of the Gods". Sorry...doesn't fit the "Satan" myth...try again, but with a bit more knowledge this time lol Satan was not fabricated until thousands of years AFTER Enki was worshiped.

  • First time I'm actually listening to her (heard about her before but never searched up).

    I remember this being in the Terrorizer magazine on the top 100 Metal Ablums of all time.

    SHIT! I'm hypnotized... This 100 times scarier and more intense than most Black Metal.

  • awesome! i'm surprised a magazine had the brains to mention it. when i was 17 this scared the shit out of me, and i'd seen all the horror and everything. i saw her in santa cruz expecting the litanies of satan and instead she sang the blues!

  • @ExitosGnosis... yeah, she is incredibly eclectic, isn't she?

  • wat is this?

  • GREAT TO USE FOR GAG-GIFTS

  • The best....

  • Extravaganja

  • ...Diamanda Galas... 

  • version? 1989 or 1982???

  • that voice is still crawling inside of my head, tearing it apart. THAT FUCKING SCREAM.

  • Comment removed

  • there is no satan, only saturn

  • un vrai massacre... horrible. je deteste..... Baudelaire est mon idole pour la poésie. je ne pensais pas qu'on puisse massacrer une si belle oeuvre comme le fait cette pseudo artiste.

  • @docsharp00

    D'accord avec vous jaja =0p

  • her vocalisms are on "Bram Stoker's Dracula"' movie soundtrack

  • this is a answer of the christian church at 1800 century and he was an drug addict....

  • Ohne Worte,.. oder? I love it!!!

  • Would sound so much more badass in German. Synagoga Satanae by Celtic Frost is a great example of some heavy blasphemous German hatred.

  • I LOVE DIAMANDA MEXICO CITY

  • Lord Krishna is the Supreme Lord!

  • Ok...I'm not participating in all off the sick fuck about this being satanic or not....IT IS NOT!!!! Why won't people see this great artist is trying to tell you something???? FUCKING STOP FIGHTING EACHOTHER OVER RELIGION....WE ARE ALL ONE SO WE SHOULD BE THERE FOR EACHOTHER!!!!

  • @gyqz ok ..then would you tell me what the fuck she wants to tell you?

  • I think you could find an english translation of baudelaire, if you look hard enough! She is merely quoting the book.

  • @gyqz We are not all one. Each one of us are individuals.

    By the way....this is fucked up "music".

  • @gyqz I believe you 're right!!!

  • @gyqz great artist .. shes a fucken fruite cake 

  • @gyqz great artist ,,, what fucken drugs are you on .

  • @gyqz no it is satanic and should be banned this is why kids won t go to school and this is why war is so easy to be found everywhere ...yeah right...i m just kidding...i totally agree with u ...i guess some ppl are too blinded by ....(well i m not going to name that thing since it can be anything so i ll just call it something) something to see the talent of this man

  • @BackStabbingFriend you are not backstabbing me, right?? ;-) LOL. Thank you for your wisw words and I totally agree with you, too!!

  • @gyqz

    what is satanic then? i love her, and i respect every religion and take interest in them. but the feeling baudelaire had when he wrote the litanies of satan were that of madness and of feeling seperated from god ... falling from his grace, as lucifer did. in this respect it is more satanic than any black metal music, because this depicts a forsaken soul drenched in despair. and there is no offense in it - we all know that the demoniac and the uncanny are the original faces of art.

  • @gyqz, First, show me a great artist.

  • @gyqz I'm not participating too, What is that she is trying to tell us? :P

  • @frumos90 Nothing much! She's trying to tell us how she wants to be famous and earn loads of money! LOL

  • @gyqz ¬¬

  • superb. savage. beautiful. agony.

  • I would like to understand what is so interesting in believing in Satan and with the wish to follow him to hell ? Do you have the imagination that Satans hell is a nice place, to stay there for EVER ?

    I dont judge, I just try to understand .

    What I understand is that darkness has an fascination, also to me, but what I dont understand is : if you believe Satan exists, you also believe in this "Hell forever"-stuff, and I dont understand what is so cool to be in hell forever ?

    any explanations?

  • @Jasinna, it´s not about believing in Satan for real, it´s just a romantic idea of it, did you read Baudelaire?

  • @froufroufoxes

    @froufroufoxes

    Ok, I understand that for YOU Satan is just a romatic idea, but for many others Satan seems to be MUCH MORE and I would like to understand why ! (MANY musicians adore Satan, I can show you some examples if you want).

    Baudelaire wrote /among other strange stuff concérning Satan) "The familiar healer of human sufferings", and I ask you : did I missed something regarding Satan ? He is a "healer of human sufferings" ?

  • bands do not adore satan for himself, but they like his way of thing, even de norvegian black metal bands who burned churches dont beleive in god and satan, they only use the imagery for their music and they anti-religious purpose, real satanism has nothing to do with satan, it is a philosophy, a way of live, to live free and every day as if it was your last

  • Those people burnt churches because their people were burned alive in large numbers unless they claimed to believe in something preposterous from a land that their tormentors had never even seen. At least this rediculous satan crap is purely imaginary.

  • Jasinna, all I know is, Satanic, is not the same as Satanist. The first, are people who actually believe in Satan, maybe, those people, are those you describe (I just find them very silly!). Regarding satanists, they don't believe in him as something real, but an allegory for all the forgotten ones, the "cursed" ones. I dont find this vid it scary, actually, I find it sort of funny and comforting! It's a way of laughing at death, decadence, illness, loneliness, and all injustices of this life.

  • Hey Cocteau Twins fan.....XD

  • @froufroufoxes

    And another question : if you listen to this video, .. does this really sounds "romantic" to you ?

    To me it sounds REALLY scary.

  • A bit extreme, but yes I do: Romantic, not as in the "Romeo and Juliet" way. But in a XIXth century sense of the word... again, none of this is REAL, this is, music, poetry, images, this is the freedom of art. You take it or you leave it, but nothing here should be taken literally, as you do in other areas, like law or science... It's just expression. You have all the right not to like it, but to think there's a real evil intention, no no no. as I mentioned, satanic is not satanist.

  • Keep your Christian ignorance to yourself, and do some research on Satanism. That'd be my advise. Some of us are more intellectually and philosophically understanding of things than the common Christian.

  • @shadow7death I dont believe that this grazy Bible-God Jahwe is God (maybe he was an alien, I dont know, but definitely not God), so that is not the point.

    Meanwhile I read alot about this Satan stuff, and I learned that there are different ways to "believe" in Satan (or just what he is standing for). And some thoughts are really interesting.

    But nevertheless : this Lady in this video (and what and how she cited it, let me get the imagination of a forecourt to hell.

  • HAve you ever thought,perhaps "god" is the "evil" one,Satan has longed reigned above all Gods,long before the fucking scum religions came and conspired to control the worlds beliefs.Hell and "god" are only a few thousand years old,ENKI AKA Satan has been around since the dawn of man,and there are artifacts to prove this.What do you think of the egyptian and greek Gods,they were not the shit "god" whose vile cock you suck today~They were,and still are the true Higher powers

  • @nocturnalthanatos

    Yes, I already read that ENKI should be the real God. (and Marduk, as his son, should be therefore the "son of God").

    But what I dont understand : how does it comes that people, like Baudelaire, prays to "Satan" (or ENKI) (like in this poem) : "... (you are the) healer of human sufferings" ?

    Satan (or ENKI) is "the healer of human suffering" ?

    REALLY ?

    Do you believe this, too ?

    And again: this "sound" in this video, doesnt sound like "healing energie" to me ..

  • I liked that sound beginnig at 7:25 and ending at 7:30. It is as though the demon has caught its prey and gobbled it up. This is followed by the sound of carrion birds. I also ejoyed the transformation of Diamanda's voice starting at 1:50. This is inspirational music for me.

  • sometimes darkness is beautiful

  • She is one of a kind. No one can duplicate her. She is great.

  • I love her as much as Donna Summer or Bjork or Yoko Ono to Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and Laurie Anderson. Oh, can't forget Buffy Sainte-Marie too.LOL!

  • its creepy as cup of mustard

  • My poem:

    This rubbish causes terrorism. Just like fertilizer causes cows to purge larger pies. Endless cycle.

  • @alefacepay very nice but still not getting to the core, remember "terrorism" like "satanism" is an artifice created by the establishment to control you.

  • INCREDIBLE !!!

  • Listen to this while reading H.P. Lovecraft's "In the Vault." I dare you.

  • this is scary...i dont want to be taken to hell. lol

  • Associer la profondeur melancolique de Baudelaire au fantasme supersticieux nest peut-être quune erreur dinnocence...le mal être se confond dans le concept du Mal absolu, permettant ainsi de solidifier limage volatile de la douleur en un mythe quil serait temps que lon abandonne. Miseree! Miserere...

  • fuck that was good. arrgghh...i love her. not like i want to fuck her, but i want to be nagged by her all my life kinda love. lol

  • love=fuck?

  • depending on who?

  • I just love YouTube scholars.

  • Comment removed

  • You obviously don't know much music since this came out in 82 right around the time Venom, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Bathory were all starting. As far as the 2nd wave of BM (probably what you were refering to), started in Norway in the late 80's w/ Mayhem (of which the dead guitarist Euronymous was a huge Diamanda Galas fan).

    By you're thinking C Baudelaire was BM.

  • lalalalalalalalalalalalalalooo­oalalalalallalalalallalaoaoaoa­llalalalallalalalallalallalala­lla

  • It's quite sick. Fuckn scary, like a woman possessed. God bless her.

  • shes fucking hot dood.

  • oui j'vais faire ca mais sa n'empeche pas que cette chanson est dégoutante. Pauvre Baudelaire. Je parie que j'fait mieux en black metal (c'EST pas des paroles en l'air)

  • She´s brilliant, and so is this. I really didn´t expect french (never heard her before) but it´s perfect for this.

  • Je déteste

  • VAchier

  • Baudelaire would probably agree with your words.

    You don't understand much of the religious dialectics in decadent art, do you?

  • Comment removed

  • Crappy beat, need to work on video frame transitions. Overall, a "D" for effort.

  • karmineka, she is beautiful because she is from Hellas ;)

  • It inspired Gorgoroth...Litani Til Satan...Antagonism Art..Hail!!

  • right: I love it too.. \,,\, it's a great black metal piece.. not hellish like this, however (imo)..

  • maggot!!

  • so do it

  • this scares me and excites me

  • This isn't event remotely like anything I have ever experienced before...

  • ????????? what is this?

  • Simply Stunning... Such a great voice capable of so many things... I suggest watching part 2 as well.

  • Why is she so beautiful...

    And so tempting at the same time....

  • Diamanda eres la mas increible y sorprendente

    loca de mierda te admiro y te respeto

  • I love her work. I have several of her recordings. Thanks for posting this. iI'm subscribing to you. Extra extra cool.

  • Allemachtig.

  • ¡Oh, tú, el más bello y más privado de alabanzas!

    ¡Oh, Dios a quien la suerte truncó las esperanzas!

    ¡Oh, Satán , apiádate de mi larga miseria!

  • pinche vieja demente

  • il faut être francophone pour savourer les effets de cet album... hypnotique.

  • Bien sûr. J'ai acheté une traduction en espagnol de "Les fleurs du Mal" et la lecture est poliphonique, mais pas satisfaisante. Au passage, le français de Diamanda est presque parfait, n'est-ce pas?

  • wtf SHUT UP YOUR ANOYING HEAR ME A-N-O-Y-I-N-G MY GF IS HAVING A FUCKING SEASURE SHUT UP

  • hey you fucking pouser HEAR ME P-O-U-S-E-R this jewel is not for your ears asshole... ASSHOLE... PENDEJO HIJUEPUTA you need a little more musical culture.....

  • the two idiots on the bottom obviously don't understand that alternative is more than what's on some screamo radio station. its the usual case of the "just-don't-get-it"s

  • In the words of Beavis: What kind of message is that sending? lol

  • jajajajaja

    alma desgarbada?

    me parto?

  • Alma desgarbada, Nofo666?

    ja,ja,ja,me partooo, no serás tú quien está desgarbado?

    Ja,ja,nunca había oído que un alma pudiese estar "desgarbada",ay dios,lo que hay que oír!!

  • O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!

    O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!

    O Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!

    Je l'ADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

  • That is one sexy evil bitch. Would love to fuck her. Hail Satan indeed!

  • EL SENTIMIENTO DE ESTAS LETANIAS ME DESGARRA,,, ES JUSTO lo que mi desgarbada alma nesesitaba para sentir ese temor que ya le hacia falta....

  • man that was fucking annoying regret clicking the link

  • I agree. She is trying too hard to be different. DIfferent is not always good. Ihave heard hints of a good voice and talent in some of her songs. Of course she does have a following that likes this.

  • i just discovered her today and strangely i dont find her strange or posing at all.. to me she comes across .. well, honest... true. not schocking .. and im no goth rocker, mind hehe. this is free art :)

  • If you check out the interviews in her website, Diamanda Galás has already stated she's agnostic.

    So all these associations amount to nothing other than very personal interpretations of this woman.

  • SCH0P3NHAU3R, Thank you very much for this video! This is indeed incredible!

  • very good video. i love baudelair and diamanda galas is awesome hehe

  • divina es la  mejor

  • Wow! That is an incredible piece of music.

  • I love Baudelaire. He's my favorite poet.

  • C'est ça que j'appelle poésie.

    BAUDELAIRE + DIAMANDA = INCROYABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sweet song

  • This was freakin awesome, this chant creates great atmosphere, I love Diamanda, this is great, ones of their best works.

    Diamanda + Baudelaire = Worst Lonely Nightmare you`ve ever imagined when you praying.

  • wish i could understand what's being said. what is being said is disturbing...and this will haunt my dreams...and that's ok w/me.

  • The Litany of Satan

    O you, the wisest and fairest of the Angels,

    God betrayed by destiny and deprived of praise,

    O Satan, take pity on my long misery!

    O Prince of Exile, you who have been wronged

    And who vanquished always rise up again more strong,

    O Satan, take pity on my long misery!

  • avant guarde but i like bits

  • scusate, nn riesco a trovare il testo in francese di questa bellissima litania, potete x favore aiutarmi?? studio il francese, ma ancora nn lo capisco... rispondetemi, x favore!!!! grazie in anticipo... lol
