[busmane161]

You are a great guy, and your accent isn't so obvious, I'm from Latvia and at the first time wen I listening you, I did not notice that you are not a Latvian :D really.

[masplv]

skyforger is Latvian folk music group(probably pagan folk metal to be more exact) nonetheless very cool and something about their music is so 'ancient' and always listening to them its like back in the old days..

and about your 'accent', I didn't notice it so keep on doing these videos..

[TheDigitSoul]

Wow. I'm impressed. I've heard that Latvian language is difficult for others to pronounce, but you did such a great job. Keep up the good work. :)

[janussQv]

Very impressive! Hope you can visit Latvia some day.

I appreciate your great work, Leonardo, to record this song with these instrumental/ vocal layers. It always cheers me up if I notice interest from foreigners about our folk culture. Success to you!

[999IvoPivo999]

Very powerful song you got there) How do you found latvian bands?

[zanelinde]

Wow, well done. What a pleasant surprise.

[bck2441]

[Krrriksis]

Dude... That`s awesome! Keep going like that! ;) It`s nice to see that latvian artists are noticed also outsie borders.

[TheZoomDii]

Hey man, thanks for doing this! This is awesome and really made my day!

I'm happy that you are interested in our culture and find Skyforger great enough to make covers for it! Keep going and good luck, you have the Latvian support :D ! <3

[revibox]

Dude, this is awesome! Your video is published on one of the biggest Latvian news portals. Btw - I didn't even notice your accent. Keep doing what you love! :))

[akat0sh99]

@N3Z3Official No it does not feel, Latvia is a very nice country.

[N3Z3Official]

@akat0sh99 :D I am living in it, so I see what it is becoming! Politicians are draining life out and russians want that Russian language becomes official language too!

Respect from Latvia man. Realy great video and I was realy suprised (in good way) how you sang that song. Keep up the good work. Btw, you just earned a subscribtion.

[4irins]

I like very much!

And you left that you can learn the song:)

[Ruhkeni]

Y'know..This must be the first video on youtube that i've seen that doesn't have a dislike and has over 5000 views.

[erebos101]

Excellento! You are an example of what can happen when people actually have a determination to make things happen. Huge respect, Leonardo!

Šis čalis varētu mierīgi runāt ventiņu izloksnē.

[uudisk]

Dude, this one awsome cover. I know about few skyforger non-latvians fans, how learned latvian thanks to the skyforger. Greetings from Latvia!!! :)

[iStauga]

Permanent respect from Latvia

[janisj5]

it's nice! I would never thought that someone who don't speak Latvian can do that. but you did! fantastic job!

[TheKenaars]

reku var redzēt kas ir laba latviešu mūzika! nez vai kāds ārzemnieks kaverotu piemēram lauri reiniku! ha ha

[MrJimThunder]

You're great! :)

[gatis008]

PERFECT! ;)

[TheFloids]

Skyforger over the World!

[Mia777Mia]

i'm from Latvia and i love you, man! keep trying! :)

[kriss456]

I didn't expect your singing to be that close to the actual sounds of the language. Quality stuff, very well done!!

[Juris79]

As latvian I can say - great!

[RolandsSh]

Wow, that was really good cover, especially for a non-latvian. I really enjoyed it! If you're willing to cover even more latvian songs, I can suggest Dzelzs Vilks - Ļauj Man Tevi. This band is one of the most popular in Latvia and it has unique sound, I haven't heard anything similar. It's very good for acoustic cover, though word pronunciation might cause small problems.

Anyway, big thanks for the huge smile on my face that I got from hearing this cover. :)

[KolumbiosMagic]

Good work! :) greetings from Latvia! :)

[MrTheChemical]

Bro, you are just awesome, you sing so good in Latvian. Keep doing this! Respect from Latvia.

[valts777]

Great! :)))

[pwntblog]

keep ya head up, and someone should definitely try and sort this guy out a trip to Latvia!

[eplly]

Paldies! (:

[zilbe333]

Impressive :)

[Madcapy]

I`m so IMPRESSED! It is always very nice to hear that people from other countries sing in our language. And you are actually very good at it!

Greetings from Latvia! ^^

[gkuzmins]

[exsesiwe]

[MrRaimiza]

[dairix100]

thank`s good work....heil from LATVIA

[MrMugurkauls]

Gracias Leonardo! Para una nación tan pequeña cualquier extranjero que canta en letón, es un milagro. Y ahora TU estás nuestro milagro :) ¡Buena suerte!

[Mijamoto]

Awesome, dude. Although i cannot make out most of words, but u do sing good. And im glad to know that ppl from far listen to Latvian music. +1

[RudolphAlder]

Good job my friend! You should be set as an example of how quick one can adapt to the language unline the russian parasites in Latvia...

Keep up the good work!

[Nurix2]

Thumbs Up if you are from Latvia!

[FunkyGomez]

awesome!

[kaarliitys]

nice video, dude! :) If you're ever in Latvia and need a place to crash, I'm sure all of the people commenting would be more than happy to have you as their guest.

A really good tribute to our language and folkmusic.

[nostradamusboy1982]

Cool boy! Singing better than some latvians :)

[pakalins666]

Ja ta auga, ja zaloja /if it grew, if it greened

Gaidat mani parejot /wait me coming back

Ja neauga, nezaloja /if it didnt grew, didnt greened

Negaidati, neparies' /dont wait, wont come

Uz karinu aiziedams /whilst heading to war

Krustu cirtu ozola /cut a cross into oak

Lai neraud tevs, mamina /so that my father, mother wont cry

Lai raud krusta ozolins / so that the cross oak would cry

[pakalins666]

Gatavs biju karavirs, / ready I was a soldier

Gatavs kara kumelins / ready i was a horse

Tas dieninas vien gaidiju/ those days I only waited

Kad zilite zinu dev' /when a bird would message bring

Pa vartiem izjadams /through the gates I rode off

Riksti duru pavarte /stick a twig beside the gates

[soonnic]

part 2: When I left for war, I cut a cross on an oak. Let my mother and father not cry, let the crossed oak cry

[soonnic]

part 1: I was ready to be a warrior, and my horse was ready as well, I was only waiting for the day when a titmouse (a little bird) brings me a message. When I rode through the gate, I stuck a rod in the ground near the gate. If it grows and turns green, wait for me to come back, if it does not grow and turn green, do not wait for me, I won't come back.

[TheKarina2206]

Although the song is pretty sad, but u really made my day! Thank you for your effort and even it is not your mother tongue u gave done a grate job! well done!!!! U sound really good and your prenounciation is kinda soft which is really cute :D Keep up the good work- u have got loads of respect from us. Hope to c u in Latvia- need a couch- give a shout :)

[TheMarchaK]

Hey!

It's was nice to heard Latvian song off u... And u relly did well

[ledajuco]

@TheMarchaK thanks a lot!! :)

[MarcoRomanovskis]

Perfect!!!

[gun4as]

Awesome dude, one of my favorite Latvian bands. This video already has been put on two major latvian news websites, as previously stated apollo.lv and tvnet.lv. Keep up the good work.

[ledajuco]

@gun4as yeah!! and i still can't believe the video is in those websites!! :D freaking amazing!!! thanks for the support!

[maarts665]

@gun4as and delfi.lv too

[Caaljuksss]

do you understand about what you are singing?

[ledajuco]

@Caaljuksss i do understand part of it, i mean, i get the idea, but since i use online translators (which aren't 100% reliable) i don't understand everything...

[z4astara]

Hey Man,your realy asome,keep going!!!

[ledajuco]

@z4astara thanks a lot for the support!!! :D

[cippsis]

Gracias desde el Letónia. Paldies no Latvijas. This is what i wanted to tel you through google translator.

[ledajuco]

@cippsis thank you so much!!! :D

[ex6tenceLV]

Amazing!!!

[ledajuco]

@ex6tenceLV thanks!! :D

[MrProxis]

I think everyone here in Latvia must see this video. These are tough times for Latvian language. This language is one of oldest languages in earth. Enigma knows that and recorded song with Latvian vocals. Your performance shows real value of our underestimated ancient treasure. :)

[ledajuco]

@MrProxis your language and your whole country (culture, people, traditions) are beautiful... i really wish i could visit Latvia someday... thank you so much for the support!! and this is my "tribute" to such an amazing land

[MrProxis]

@ledajuco Here is Enigma with vocals from Latvia:

Enigma - The Social Song

Enigma - Beyond The Invisible

[RojiUraBokuToKimiE]

@MrProxis oh come on ))) what you'r saying is a load of rubbish // nothing happening with the language. wake up dreamer

[hahiits]

@MrProxis i think you confused Latin with Latvian........ But I agree these ar tough times......

[Mia777Mia]

@hahiits nee, latviesu valoda (vispar-baltu)ir loti sena un ari viena no grutakajam...tas taa-busi, ko jaunu uzzinajis..

[hahiits]

@Mia777Mia latviesu valoda nav baltu valoda jo tadas baltu valodas nav ir baltu valodas saime kuras sastava ir lietuvisu, latviesu, prusu, galindu, jatvingu, un citas valodas. un ja kas pirmie pieradijumi par latviesu valodu ir sakot ar 13gs. kas nemaz nav tik sen.... un pirmie pieradijumi par rakstisku latviesu valodu ir sakot no 16gs. un tas viss pateicoties Livoniesiem. un tas taa zinasanai pirmie raksti latviesu valoda izmantoja vacu valodas rakstibu

taka tas ta tev busi ko jaunu uzzinajis

[u1zha]

@MrProxis Labi jau labi, nav jāsāk vienmēr ar "grūti laiki", sērdieņi ar zemo pašvērtējumu ;) Grūtāki varbūt bija tomēr padlaikos?

[sakils2]

@MrProxis Tev ir kādi pierādijumi, kas apliecina tavis teikto par to, ka latviešu valoda ir viena no vecākajām valodām pasaulē?

[otina61]

@sakils2

Tam nevajag pierādījumus, tas tā ir. Un latviešu, lietuviešu valodas no Baltu valodu grupas ir vienīgās vēl dzīvās. Es gan arī neesmu valodu speciālists. Cenšos atcerēties, ko skolā mācīja. Bet var jau paskatīties internetā...

[sakils2]

@otina61 Tik pat labi, es varu pateikt, ka Hitlers ir dzīvs. Netaisos klausīt uz vārda, kaut kādam nezinām cilvēkam interneta vidē. Varēt jau var, bet, lai šīs cilvēks, kurš izteica apgalvojumu, pats atrod viņu.

[arca5200]

Ur great man! I love Skyforger!

Greetings from Latvia! 

[ledajuco]

@arca5200 Greetings from Mexico, thanks a lot for the support!!! :D

[Ufonists]

I love Skyforgers and you have done something amazing. Keep doing what you do!!!

[ledajuco]

@Ufonists thank you so much and i will keep doing this, i love your country and this is just to show you my respect and a tribute to your amazing culture

[YouCLTube]

From where you are?

[hurdleracer]

Que lindo! Nosotros en Letonia apreciamos mucho si alguien da tanto respeto a nuestra cultura como lo hiciste tu! Gracias!! I am truely impressed..

[verylowiq]

great 5/5 respeckt :)

[kukucis]

Great cover! I really like it! Greetings from LV! ;) keep trying!

[WarriorHannibal]

It's nice that you are interested in our little culture. Greets from LV !

[MiuViuMiuVii]

The beginning was amazing - no accent at all, but then it was quite difficult to understand what are you singing.

In my opinion - it is lovely cover, I enjoyed listening how you play the guitar and the drums.

Ps. Now, reading all those comments, it becomes so clear how important is Latvian language for Latvian people.

[Frensisa]

This way it'll be easier to understand since I can't send it as a verse: I was a ready warrior, My war horse was ready, I was just waiting for the day tomtit would give me a message. When I rode out the gates, I stuck a dowsing-rod in the gateway - if it grew and flourished, wait for me to come back, if it didn't grow and flourish, don't wait, as I won't return. When I went to war, I cut a cross in an oak tree - not to make my father and mother cry, but make the oak with a cross cry instead.

[livamilAVA]

Hey dude. :D Props on the song! :) apollo.lv is one of the biggest news website in Latvia... So be proud :)

[ledajuco]

@livamilAVA damn!!! i didn't know my video was on your websites! Thanks for the support!!! :D

[Frensisa]

In case you want to know what this song is about, I can write a brief translation: I was a ready warrior My war horse was ready I was just waiting for the day when a tomtit would give me a message when I rode out the gates I stuck a dowsing-rod in the gateway if it grew and flourished, wait for me to come back if ir didn't grow and flourish, don't wait, as I won't return when I went to war I cut a cross in an oak tree not to make my father and mother cry but make the oak with a cross cry

[Kukainis]

have you any idea what the lyrics mean ? I mean, have you seen the translation ?

[NoProblemoLV]

Good job ! I am Latvian, I love this song. Respect. Thank for this song !!!! Good luck !

[Frensisa]

Really good! Thumbs up!

You should also try covers for

Tumša nakte zaļa zāle

Div' dūjiņas

Šķērsu dienu saule teka (or other songs of Iļģi)

[KlingerNerga]

Well done dude, I'm from Latvia too, I love this song so I'm glad you decided to make up something like this and surprise us!

As you can see down below they say that some Russians can't even beat your pronunciation who have lived there for ages!!

Bravo !!!

[xmencuervo]

yeeaa ..!!
