Mr George Vidakis comments that, this is an 18th century version of a medieval greek song.If he is right, then, it is probably refer to the marriage of Agnes and Alexios II Komnenos.Agnes was daughter of Louis VII, king of France, and Alexios was son of Manouel, emperor of Roman Empire, in 12th century. "Manouel was very impressed by the western ways of chevaliery, that for he choose for his son the daughter of the king of Frangs,and Louis was very flattered, that such an ancient, noble and wealthy king was asking for his daughter" is about how describes the facts Rober de Clari,a knight of fourth crusade in 1204.
@@cba848 I did my research and I found that mr Vidakis is right.This originated from Smyrna, it's an old greek song with the same title.Untill the Grecoturkish war of 1920,Anatolia was full of Greeks,since the antiquity.
@@kimphilby7999 İ doubt this song is from Anatolia. İf it was, we would have a Turkish equivalent with the same or similar melody. But Turks lived in what we today call Greece while Greeks lived in what we today call Turkey, so there are many similarities. The situation changes with the population exchange. But I don't see any similarity between this don't and anything out of İzmir. İzmir, not Smyrna. Let's use the correct names for places.

One of my favorite Sephardi romances. I also love the version by Owain Phyfe in his CD Poets, Bards, and Singers of Song. This version dates from the 18th c Smyrna (today Izmir).

What eternal aetheric beautyness.... the mystical (cabalistic) text alone is worth to absorb deeply - - - the very later developed tune "Scarborough fair" may slightly be heard across too.... "where could it be located/originated?" - Tja, this question will be solved if connecting to terms of jwsh. "DIASPORA" & SEPHARDIC fate. With Hurdy-Gurdy/Vielle à roue/Drehleier, Kanoon & bagpipes i `ve`nt heard till now ...... very delightful
Montserrat Figueras maybe did one the bests performances ever recorded of this song, but this one isn't far behind. Those kinda celtoslavic melodies fit impresivly well on a Sephardic song!

Catalan is now different from occitan even if at a time both language were quite close. The "Comté de Barcelone" belonged to the Kingdom of France for centuries. The catalan language appeared in the "Marche d'Espagne" created by Charlemagne to protect his empire from the Moors. Catalunya so far belongs to Spain.
+नेल्ली (Caladhilol) , here's a pretty good one. lyricstranslate.com/en/el-rey-de-francia-king-france.html I think there's one mistake, though. On finding her daughter asleep, her mother wished to beat her, not speak to her, I think. Aharvar is the verb in question. In another Ladino song, the object of the verb is "other doors."
+Vidiotmagnet According to another translation I've found , it means "reprimand", which actually makes more sense than just "speak" or even "beat" (it seems to me that it would be pretty uncourtly for a queen to beat her daughter). It seems a bit unclear, which kind of needlework the three daughters are actually doing, as both translations don't exactly agree in that point. The translation "bowl" for "pilar" given in your link is apparently wrong - it should be column" or "pillar" - and I wonder why "bowl" was chosen, in spite of the nearby symbolism.

You have a nice voice but you are not pronouncing the words correctly in ladino. Every other word you mispronounce. It is such a pity because you are killing this beautiful song, El Rey de francia.

La mas chica de ellas
Bastidor hazia
Lavrando lavrando
Sueno le caia
Su madre que la via
Aharvar la queria
`No m'aharvex mi madre
Ni m'aharvariax
Un sueno me sonava
Bien y alegria'
`Sueno vos sonavax
Yo vo lo soltaria'
`M'apari a la puerta
Vide la luna entera
M'apari a la ventana
Vide la estrella Diana
M'apari al pozo
Vide un pilar d'oro
Con tres paxaricos
Picando el oro'

La estrella Diana
Es la tu cunada
Los tres paxaricos
Son tus cunadicos
Y el pilar d'oro
El hijo del Rey, tu novio

I love this woman so, so much. Well of course I don't love her as I don't personally know her, but she's so attractive to me.
+Autumn Aurora The vocalist and the person in the picture is not the same.
I'm aware off that :) Lisa Pawelke (or however spelt) is the singer I believe? That's of whom I refer to.
Love it!
Perfect singing. Beautiful.
Very beautiful.
Who is the woman shown in the picture? Absolutely beautiful song by the way.

That bagpipe break is so epic.
I think that's a hurdy gurdy not bagpipes.

Why did she quit Faun, such a beatiful, cristal clear sweet voice?
Cause of Almara, her own personnal project, if im correct.

Capucine : Yes, of course, the Sefardis Jews all over the Mediterranean speak this
language, but this song is from the Balkans.
Hi. Also the jews from the Balkans spoke Ladino. The Balkans were once part of the Turkish Imperia.
Nice :) I am a sefardi descendent too like many people, the family of my grandmother is basically all from jew origin. And I like to hear something from my ancestors.
Jew isn't an origin, it's a religion.
Corto Maltese it's both
Corto Maltese Ethnoreligion
@@cortomaltese5633 Jew is not only a religion, its a ethnic group. Unfortunately, his religion its called the same, and that bring confusion.

No its ladino

Bowl for pilar! That's what I get for saving time by grabbing a translation from the net. Would you scold a door?
