Adeste Fideles

[mackbee628]

Sometimes when translating a song from one language to another, you have to force a lot of rhymes and still fit it in with the original music. I notice it with English translations of O Salutaris Hostia and Tantum Ergo. I'm sure it's true of Adeste Fideles/O Come All Ye Faithful as well. Merry Christmas!

No one understand music here!!... phrases, breath.... who is the director???... he's killing the music!!!

[Gerry319]

Continuing from the previous post, here are the words of the last verse in Latin:

Cantet nunc hymnos

Chorus angelorum;

Cantet nunc aula caelestium:

"Gloria, gloria

In excelsis Deo!"

Venite adoremus,

Dominum.

I suspect this presentation doesn't do it justice at all, because of the poor quality of the video.

[Gerry319]

An interesting arrangement. They sing the first verse of the Latin version, "Adeste fideles ..."; then they sing the English version of that first verse, "O come all ye faithful..." (with a rather tentative entry); then finally they do the well-known Willcock descant, usually sung to the words "Sing choirs of angels ...". Here they sing it to the 4th verse of the original Latin version, referring to the heavenly choir of angels.

is herbei oh ihr gläubigen in german. sounds like adeste fideles in latin what sounds like come o ye faithfull :D

[Benajsa]

Bellezza !!! ghandkom xi kuncert ta dan it-tip dan il-Milied 2009 ?

[bradyischamp]

is adeste fideles in latin? sounds like oh come oh ye faithful

[TheBroadwaybabe22]

@bradyischamp Adeste Fideles is Latin for O Come All Ye Faithful. When I was in elementary school we would sing the 1st verse in English then in Latin followed by the 3rd verse in English. This version sounds horrible, as the words cannot be made out even if you did know it was Latin.

[g00ners43ver]

too bad...the video is in that quality... but it sounds beautiful though

[organpipe8]

znakomite adeste fideles :)

[noleheel1]

adeste fideles- o come all ye faithful

lae ti triumphantes- joyful and triumphant

ve ni te, ve ni te- o come ye, o come ye

in Bethlehem- in Bethlehem (lol)

i am singin this soon...

[iamvegito]

"Into Bethlehem," because it is in the accusative case. "In Bethlehem" would require ablative.

[croblesu]

could somebody tell me the meaning of the title, and also the song? I'm not very into latin...

[pika35]

The song "Adeste Fideles" is the equivalent of English carol "O Come all ye faithful." Adeste fideles, O Come all ye faithful laeti triumphantes; Joyful and triumphant; venite, venite in Bethlehem; O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; natum videte regem angelorum. Come and behold him, born the king of angels venite, adoremus O come let us adore him. venite, adoremus O come let us adore him. venite, adoremus Dominum. O come let us adore Christ the Lord.

[croblesu]

Thanks a lot. Latin is so beautiful...

[durayclear]

one of the most sacred language

[croblesu]

do you know any site in the web to learn some latin?

[Jasutin]

this is a good trainslation as far as lyrics but direct translation would be Adeste fideles arrive faithfuls laeti triumphantes joyful, triumphant venite venite in bethlehem come, come into bethlehem natum videte regem angelorum see the birth of the king of angels venite adoremus (x3) come, we will adore him (x3) Dominum the Lord I'm a Latin student so I took my time to translate this to the best of my abilities and this is what it really means

[LenxKat]

@Jasutin

Actually, translating is more than just converting the words to the target language, which seems to be what you have done. The goal of the translation is to create an equivalent of the original in the other language, but this also means you need to apply the grammar and style that is best in that language. Sometimes this means the exact words are rejiggered a bit. This is alright, since it benefits the translation.

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@LenxKat You also need to make sure the words still fit the tune!

[mfysh]

not the best performance. Gratuitous showmanship.

[falconbach]

The timpani is so terrible out of tune! Arrrggg....

[gauconlx]

A magnificent and immortal song made by the portuguese king Jonh IV in the XVII century. God save the King!Viva El'Rei!!!

[Julian9ehp]

Actually, it was found in a Roman chapel which was traditionally associated with exiles from England.

[darkcavalier7]

simplemente magnifico... me siendo profundamente conmovido cada vez que lo veo...

[luisleigh]

Ego amo 'Adeste Fideles'... per semper...

[hc00f1]

Feliz Navidad a todos. Gracias por colocar tan bello video

[rucar101]

excelente interpretación propia de estos días

[sulaine]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting such a masterful rendition of O, Come All Ye Faithful.

[Armada1588]

Truly a stirring piece- the beautiful harmony of the organ, choir and orchestra makes for a magnificent performance! Somewhat obvious question, I know- was this performed in Malta, or were they traveling? The building looks beautiful!
