Palästinalied (unique English version) 

Now my life has gained its meaning since those sinful eyes behold. Sacred land with meadows greening whose renown was often told. This was granted me from God, to see the land and the holy sod, which in human form He trod. Splendid lands of wealth and power, I've seen many far and near. Yet of all are you the flower, what a wonder happened here! That, a maid a Child should bear, Lord of all the angels fair, was not this a wonder rare? Here He was baptised the holy, that all people might be pure. Here He died betrayed and lowly, that our bonds should not endure. Else, our fate had been severe, hail oh cross oh thorns and spear! Heathens woe your rage is clear!

I'm from Palestine. From two tight-knit Roman Catholic villages. It's nice knowing there is so much art revolving around the heritage of my ancestors, even though we don't have our land anymore.

Health to you all, siblings in Christ.

If you speak german as a foreign language you should listen to the original one. Middle high german is not easy to understand but it is a nice lyrical time window. You should have heard it at least once,educationally. All the best to all medieval age fans.

Jesus Christ is our King 👑

Been waiting for an English version/cover of this beautiful song. Good work & thank you.

Can't stop listening to this, it's pure gold, I listen to this whenever I can, help me

I prefer the orginal german version but this is also amazing

Deus vult.

What if Britain remained Catholic:

Now my life has gained its meaning since these sinful eyes behold the sacred land with meadows greening whose renown is often told. This was granted me from God: to see the land, the holy sod, which in human form He trod. -------------------------------------------- Splendid lands of wealth and power, I’ve seen many, far and near, yet of all are you the flower. What a wonder happened here! That a maid a child should bear, Lord of all the angels fair, was not this a wonder rare? ------------------------------------------------- Here was He baptized, the Holy, that all people might be pure. Here He died, betrayed and lowly, that our bonds should not endure. Else our fate had been severe. Hail, O cross, thorns and spear! Heathens, woe! Your rage is clear. ------------------------------------------------- Out of pity for us, He suffered here the cruel parting. Out of pity for us He, the Almighty, allowed cursing. For us to escape misery, it is an immeasurable prodigy, more than any other prodigy.

If these kind of music played in churches their will be 0% athiest. Dues Vult ✝️⛪️

This is the world’s oldest song where lyrics and notes have survived. Many old songs have the lyrics Writen down but the palistina song has also the original music. So what you hear was sung for hundreds of years. It has the spirit of Walter von der Vogelweide ( that’s the name of the author) conserved since the crusade he attended. He wrote this song as the impressions when he set foot into the holy land overwhelmed him. This is a true message from long ago.

Glory to the Holy Land and to all those that defend it , even those no Baptised in this Holiest of Faiths .

Respect from Finland. I hope that Europe will not be totally ruled by muslims.

deus vult

THEYRE DEAD ONCE WE BREACH THE WALLS SIRE!

I love both English version and German version, but German sounds more rhythmic (English is also great!!:))

Wow, this is tremendous work. I wish there were more Palästinalied covers like this :)

Heil Christ 🙏🏻📝🗡️✝️🌷✊🏻

what is our duty? To serve God's will! What is God's will? To die in the cross to save humanity! And what is death? It is our duty for the protection of the people of God!

As a German I think this is a good take on the Original one. I like it.

Time to go teach some non-Christians the Bible by force if I have to✝️

Deus fucking vult

I prefer the old 800 year old german version but this version is okay too.

For the very first I am alive to myself, since my sinful eye beholds the noble land, and also that earth, to which so much honour is given. It has come to pass, for which I have ever prayed: I have come to the place where God walked in human form. 2. Such fair lands, rich and noble, as I have seen elsewhere, you are the honour of them all, what miracles have come to pass here! That a maid gave birth to a child, lord over the hosts of all angels, was this not a perfect miracle?

To all the haters, not everyone wants to hear the German version. We would like to hear songs we understand in our own language. Besides, it's not like Germans can fully understand that German version either, it is Middle high German.

1.5x playback speed to charge the enemy.

Nice rendition! Though I think it would sound better in medieval English. But thank you anyway, good sir. I really enjoyed it!

Be joyful, be joyful: Our Lord Jesus Christ is King of Kings. The Victor.

I’m a hardline atheist, but it cannot be denied that so much art and music produced by the church over the millennia is very beautiful and powerful.

When General Edmund Allenby entered Jerusalem in 1917

Original lyrics: Nû lebe ich mir alrêrst werde, sît mîn sündic ouge sihet daz hêre lant und ouch die erde, der man vil der êren gihet. Nû ist geschehen, des ich ie bat: ich bin komen an die stat, dâ got mennischlîchen trat. Schœniu lant rîch unde hêre, swaz ich der noch hân gesehen, sô bist dûz ir aller êre. Waz ist wunders hie geschehen! Daz ein maget ein kint gebar, hêre über aller engel schar, was daz niht ein wunder gar? Hie liez er sich reine toufen, daz der mensche reine sî. Dô liez er sich hie verkoufen, daz wir eigen wurden frî. Anders wæren wir verlorn. Wol dir, sper, kriuze unde dorn! Wê dir, heiden, daz ist dir zorn!

Deutsche Version ist gut, English version 50/50%👀❤

British football hooligans in Qatar 2022:

When the British are invited to retake jerusalem:

*2nd person from the right* "Gandalf was also there"

I'd love to get a lyric sheet on this

Deus Vult!

Speed up to 1.25x. Do it. Please. For me. Do it.

It dosen't have the same power like the Original. But it's ok.

Beautiful song

What accent is this? Mostly it sounds British/Scottish and sometimes it sounds Southern American

Hail Jerusalem, originary Homeland and true Throne of the only King of kings and Saviour!!! ✝️

Get ready for another translated into English from medieval German going on RU-vid tonight.

I can tell is english but hard to understand

I find the original German version to be much more pleasing to listen to.

Would be a lot different in middle English

Beautiful cover! 🍀 Danke 👍

Gute Arbeit! Well done!

CLASS WE'RE GOING TO JERUSALEM GIRLS : NICE PLACE BOYS:

Ave Maria Deus Vult ⚔️🛡️⚔️

RU-vid recommend this, I thought this was going to be a conspiracy theory about how Palestine lied about sth🤣🤣🤣 lmao, cool song tho...

Cool song, shame there's so many tradcath larpers in the comments though

This is a good version but I keep listening to the German one first

Reminds me of a beautiful time before Protestantism and Vatican II😊😊

This is amazing, the only problem with it is that it isn't longer, my favorite verse not being included, but it's still wonderful.

Sadly american accent

Could you put the lyrics into the description please?

Excellent translation, beautiful!

Any atheists who just like medieval ages & crusading era and don't lean to far right ideologies?

Gooooooooood morning Jerusalem

Thanks for historical memory. Thanks for beautiful music

There is also a Latin cover.

Beautiful rendition.

Deus Vult, Non Nobis Domine!

TRANSCRIPTION Now my life has gained its meaning since those sinful eyes behold Sacred lands with meadows greening whose renown was often told This was granted me from God, to see the land that the holy sought Which in human form He trod Splendid lands of wealth and power: I've seen many far and near Yet of all are you the flower, what a wonder happened here!

Heavens' woe, your rage is clear!

The great Irony is that the 5th Crusade was mostly directed at Ayyubid Egypt while the Christian Allied Sultanate of Rum (Kaykaus I had a complex religious/cultural identity being both Christian and Muslim as well as Greek/Turkish/Persian. Not that the Seljuqs where particularly fervent Muslims, unlike the later Ottomans) attacked Syria to divert its forces from Egypt. The Papacy directed the campaign to insure it could not be hijacked and diverted like the 4th crusade. Georgia which was a major military power at the time had pledged support however they where invaded my the Mongols. It's likely that if Georgia was able to provide assistance unhindered the Crusade would have been successful. Which is also Ironic since the Mamluk (slave warriors of the Ayyubids) dynasty which rebelled and defeated the Ayyubids (seems to be a repeat theme of using Slaves as your military defeat) later spelled the end of the Mongol Ilkhanate. Jerusalem was retaken but since the walls had been torn down by the Ayyubids it was an indefensible position.

And i shall drive them before me with the righteous conviction of the lords own word. For now is the time where my sword doth lead my eye's will follow.

Nice but you have to have to hear it in its original tongue to get a a impression

If you're not paying attention it just sounds like german

The version in old German is just better!

I really enjoyed this. Subbed

If only the crusades would have won... I swear oath under holy relics that if I ever be the pope I will start a crusade

The full song! Please!!!!!

sounds like its being sang by Russians but deus vult anaway

Greeting from Israel Jerusalem

Somewhat difficult to understand without a text. Maybe it's just me. The original version was easier for me.

Deus Vult ⚔️🛡️⚔️

I know the German version and can almost sing it flawless. But this, this is another level when it's in English (for me) lol I can't tell if it's modern or old English.

Great video I aswell made a crusader video🦅

Smith Angela Brown Patricia Martin Kimberly

Is there no English Crusader songs from King Richards crusade?

I’m English speaker and I understand what the Germans are saying more than this

DEUS VULT

Hello! Thanks for making English version of this song. Is it copyright free?

I would like to learn this song on guitar good sir. What were the chords that you have used?

Are you sure this is in english? Maybe just some thick accemt.

I think Peter the Hermit and Frederick Barbarossa sang this lol

A good translation of the text, too!

im english and can barely understand this lol

Mit dem altenglischem Klang klingt das Palistinenserlied wahrscheinlich beinahe authentischer als bei den zahlreichen deutschen Versuchen, es auf Mhd. zu singen.

Wir gehen nach Palästina, wir tragen unser Kreuz

a beautiful version. hail to such a good work.

This English version is what we call herresy.

Wish they did the full song...

sehr gut.

Only in german good

This song is a bit different, could you play it at the same speed, and sound as the others, with english words though?
