Qntal Blac -[Live]-

Qntal song Blac from their albun Qntal IV: Ozymandias

Lyrics:
Blac is the colour that is good,
so say I and many mo;
blac is my hat, blac is my hood
blac is all that longeth therto.

Summe men sayen that I am blac -
it is a colour for my prow;
ther I love, ther is no lac,
I may not be so white as thou.
blac wol do as good a nede
as the white at bord and bedde;
and therto also trew in dede,
and therto I ley my lif to wedde.

Wind and water may steyne the white,
iwis; the blac it may not so.
ther is the blac is all my delite;
I am iholde be skile therto.
pepper withoute it is well blac,
iwis; withinne it is not so.
lat go the colour an tak the smac,
this I sey by me and mo.

thank you..excellent translation..makes perfect sense...do you know where these lines come from?my German friend could not find an English translation for Blac lyrics i believe they are Medieval German ......by the way... .I have been performing this song with accoustic guitar and have been singing these particular lyrics with the word bedde rhyming with wed so i have gotten the true meaning in principal!! ..i think bord was the key problem word i couldnt understand..thanks again

@aidencassidy77 I got them from some lyrics site. I would say its probably Middle English though I may be wrong, the song certainly isn't in German, but those few words she said at the beginning are. Mostly advertising the album introducing the song and such. You are welcome, and if you were to upload one of such performances I would be glad to watch it.

I love Qntal, but I must say the lip syncing's obvious... though, to be fair, it'd be hard for them to do much else since those notes are so hard to get perfectly live, and without constant rehearsal.

I WORSHIP QNTAL !

[aidencassidy77]

well i was assuming that the Blac lyrics werent originally english.....but you may be right......anyways the meaning is clear enough and better with your help....it is a great song to perform and seems to resonate with all ages as well as being a nice guitar piece....and vocals of course....i will upload  something on this song ..i have already recorded my version of it on a demo disc ....

Black is as good as is needed

as white, at the table and in the bed (the womanly duties)

[aidencassidy77]

i think it may be something like

black is always good as needed

as the white at borders and beading

but i may be quite wrong!
