If Occitan had been preserved in France, there would be more "continuity", like a corridor of intelligibility connecting Italy, France and Spain. Provençal has a very rich literary and musical culture in the work of the Medieval Troubadours, who were an important influence for Italian Poets like Dante and Cavalcanti. Viva le Lingue Romanze, Saluti dall'Italia!

I saw the wolf, the fox, and the hare dancing in the circle around the tree... and I've started to think to myself: I should better skip these strange mushrooms next time.

French people: wow I understand everything Catalan people: wow I understand everything Italian people: wow I understand everything English people: ... can I join guys?

7+ centuries later and it still GOES HARD

Sounds like Lombard, my mother tongue. Incredible

It's eerie how familiar this is, and yet how different.

Omg i am from North Italy and Is like hearing my regional dialect!

As an Italian, I had understood all of the words 😮

Reminds me of the Louisiana Cajun French song recorded by the Balfa Brothers "J'ai vu le loup, le renard e la belette, j'ai vu le loup e le renard danser"

its very similar to catalan, fascinating

Funny how people in the 13th century already invented the term "getting fucked over".

I've become obsessed with this song

Selon le site d'Arles le loup serait une représentation du soldat, le renard du clerc et le lièvre du percepteur d'impots. Aussi la chanson fut adaptée en français sous le nom de "j'ai vu le loup le renard la belette"

Le loup est le "roi", le renard est le "noble" et le lièvre est "l'église". Le loup et le renard volent le bétail et le lièvre endommage les champs de blé. Ce sont tous trois des créatures maléfiques. La souffrance de les agriculteurs médiévaux sont clairement visibles.

Пусть я и не понимаю ни единого слова, но всё равно песня звучит очень красиво.

Dançar, ganhar, lebre, mesada, exatamente as mesmas palavras em português, fascinante esse occitano.

*Tradução em português* Eu vi o lobo, a raposa, a lebre, Eu vi o lobo, a raposa a dançar, Todos os três gíram em volta da árvore Eu vi o lobo, a raposa, a lebre, Todos os três gíram em volta da árvore, Eles gíram em torno do arbusto florente Vi a lobo,a raposa e a lebre. Aqui trabalhamos o ano todo Para ganhar alguns centavos, E em questão de um mês, Eu vi o lobo, a raposa, a lebre, Não temos mais nada (*literalmente*:eles enfiaram na nossa bunda) Eu vi a lebre, a raposa, o lobo

"J'entends le loup, le renard et la belette. J'entends le loup et le renard danser ". Qu'on chante au Canada-Français, de la jument de Michao, de Bretagne.

In Québec, some people, usually elders, will pronounce "arbre" the same way they say it in that song. Although most of our ancestors came from the "langue d'oïl" area.

As I understand, the meaning of this song about hallucinations caused by starving peasant. He worked a lot, but he earned nothing (a few coins). And he sees a miracle of dancing hare, wolf and fox in the woods

Translation in Catalan (if needed ^^): He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre He vist lo llop, la guineu dansar: Tots tres anaven entorn de l'arbre He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre Tots tres anaven entorn de l'arbre Anaven entorn de la botja frondosa. Aquí treballem tot l'any Per guanyar quelques sous. Res, que dins una mesada He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre Nos ho fotem tot pel cul He vist la llebre, la guineu, lo llop! (repeteix primera estrofa x2) Aquí treballem tot l'any Per guanyar quelques sous. Res, que dins una mesada He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre Nos ho fotem tot pel cul He vist la llebre, la guineu, lo llop! He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre He vist lo llop, la guineu dansar: Tots tres anaven entorn de l'arbre He vist lo llop, la guineu, la llebre Tots tres anaven entorn de l'arbre Anaven entorn de la botja frondosa. He vist lo llop, la guineu dansar.

Nos lourdes et profondes racines.

Aquesta cançó en occità és magnífica! Em va encantar!

Que cant polit, avèm força d'astrée d'aver totas las culturas nóstras dins lo nóstre ostal França

It represents medieval society: The wolf is the King, the fox the aristocracy and the hare is the the clergy. The peasant works all year for little pay and gets screwed by them while all they do is dance.

i'm from catalonia and i love how i can sing along the song and understand the lyrics just from listening to it

wonderfully medieval!

As a center Italian I can understand all the written text easily. I found the pronunciation harder to grasp.

je connaissais déjà la musique mais sans les sous titre et ce n'est qu'avec les paroles cote à cote qu'on voit au final les racines avec le français actuel et c'est en réalité assez proche malgré qu'à l'oreille sa paraisse complétement étranger. Merci pour la vidéo, une de plus que j'ai apprécié

Que dieu préserve mon Occitanie! ❤💛❤ Il faudrait divulguer ce genre de contenu sur les réseaux sociaux comme Tiktok pour plus de visibilité.

As an Italian ( Lombard ) I can understand all the word 😂

Incroyable… récemment, j’ai trouvé un intérêt pour la musique ancienne, et ce chant l’a tellement amplifié ! Il faut que j’apprenne l’occitan maintenant.

c est magnifique. Je veux debarquer dans une taverne et danser toute la nuit dessus

Respect from Lombardy, northern Italy.

Best version in YT

Like if you are a 1300s kid

Une des meilleures chaînes !

That's wicked good

En miniature, des furries médiévales !

I speak catalan and I can understand it

Не знаю, как мне эта песня попалась в рекоммендациях, но я не против

I want to hypnotically dance to this in the woods... what a joy.

Goes quite hard

It's easily understandable for Spanish speakers and I guess for catalan speakers too. ❤

Très sympa !

J' aime bien !!!!

Como me encanta esta canción y su simbolismo

Sounds great!

This slap hard

As a Southern Italian I can understand some words, it's really fascinating how close the Latin languages are

"Ganhar", "lebre" and "dançar" are also words in Portuguese with the same meaning.

Magnifique ✨️🙏

La danse des loups, des renards et du lapin m'a rappelé Donnie Darko. Une interprétation moderne d'un sombre mystère.

As a french speaker, i could kinda understand it!

C’est dingue

Lol we learned a version of this in elementary school in Quebec. The tune was pretty different, but it was definitely about the same subject.

Occitania has a special place in my heart

Suggestion pour une prochaine vidéo de chant occitan. Un de Joseph Canteloube sur l'Auvergne! ❤

The fox, the wolf and the rabbit seem like an alias to refer to some people the listeners would instantly know and recognize and empathize with "those who're slaving away". Who were they? What's the actual meaning behind this song?

Phenomenal

Any chance of you uploading this on spotify? Couldn't find this specific version on there

Bella 😍😍😍

0:18 - What is this painting? It's quite beautiful.

Merci

idk the context,but loved and now i wanna know

Occitanie!!

Very beautiful language, it's like a cross between italian and french sort of. Well, it shouldn't wonder me, since the language bordered italy and came in contact with speakers of italian dialects. I think North Occitans spoke a dialect much closer to French and the southern Occitans spoke dialects closer to catalan and italian

I'm from France and I understand everything !!

Nice. Speciel. Dialekt ok butnice. Wonderfull bless ❤❤❤❤

Quel banger

On disait Renart et pas Goupil au XIIIème siècle en langue d'oc ?

Wow! I've never even heard of this before yet my soul remembers it. Strangely emotional experience.

Sounds like a version of "Le loup le renard et la belette ". :)

Better than the average medieval German songs, change my mind.

hell yes

Found this just in time for manor lords

J’ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre 😢

Acho muito bom as incríveis semelhanças que as línguas latinas tem entre si, escutar essa música sendo uma lusófona foi muito bom

In the Burgundian version, the subtext is the participation of a commoner in a celebration among the nobility. There is also a version about sexual overtones: a tree around which animals dance symbolizes a phallus, and dancing is a euphemism for an orgy. It is most clearly manifested in the version common among Kazhuns. Moreover, a child joins the dance, which hints at the next act of pedophilia. The Burgundian version is melodically a parody of the Catholic sequence Dies irae and ends with the Latin word "Miserere"

j'adore 😃👏👏👏👏🐺🦊

Ça vient de la chanson de renard, une histoire du 9e siècle qui dénonce comment les moines ont créé le capitalisme en s'accaparant les terres et en volant le produit du travail des paysans et des artisans.

Entens bé el català?

did seeing the wolf mean then what it means now? Good for them / you! ;-)

De qui est le tableau au début de la vidéo ?

👍🏻

Occitan-Provencal and Italian song, 'cos it's incredibly similar to Italian language...! ❤

Brilliant. Would someone be so kind as to post the approx pronunciation of the lyrics in English? Thanks in advance :)

I recognize some words in portuguese?? What an intriguing lenguage!

Menudo temazo

The version of In extremo is good too

Existe-t-il des chansons de ce type mais du Roussillon ? (Pyrénées-Orientales aujourd'hui)

It sounds like it could be music for the Witcher. Just an observation.

A wonderful song and a wonderful language! I hope that Occitania will soon gain independence from the occupation of Paris!!!

Les furies du 16ème siècle

Animals dance, and then we get screwed over. Wondrous!

16th century furry:

Spotify drop WHEN

sounds way better than french

Au loup, au loup, au loup
