1270 A.D was a bad year to be in Tunisia, nobody won 😢
Also, take me back to when the French used trilled R’s 😂

Also while making this video, a friend of mine introduced me to a cover of the original song done by a French artist Johnny Hallyday called “Le Penitencier.” Its a damn nice cover too, (THANKS EMMAAA) Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3wqO…

I have been procrastinating a lot after going on a break weeks ago but I’m back folks. Currently working on upgrading my hardware, I will be getting a better mic and also a camera as I want to start posting videos soon. Want nothing but the best for all you lovely folk. Thank you as always ya’ll kind folk for all the love and support. Let’s make Bardcore last a 1000 years yeah?

Il y a une meson en Orleans
Qui se sousnomme le Soleil levant
Et ele fu la ruine de maint garsilleurs
Dont fui aussi partant …

Ma mere estoit une taillieuse
Qui cousit mes braies de lin
Mon pere lui estoit un joueur et
D’Orleans un citadin

E les seules choses qu’un joueur requiert
Sont une male et une botte
E le seul moment de repos pour lui
Est saül au fond d’un pot

O, mere, di le aus anfaz
De ne pas feire com moi
Pechiez tout au lonc de vos tristes vies
La ou le Soleil feict loy

Bien, j’ai un pié sur le pavement
L’autre est sur le char
Sui de retorn a Orleans
Ou l’air-mesme est une bare

  1. As a few folks have pointed out, the original is not the immensely popular version by The Animals, but is a traditional American folk song, first documented in the 1930s, but likely at least a few decades old at that point. Here’s the Wikipedia entry – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun. “As a traditional folk song recorded by an electric rock band, it has been described as the ‘first folk rock hit'”
