Jórsalanám in Latin [Crusader Song] - De Expugnātiōne Hierūsalēm | The Skaldic Bard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2023
- Here’s my translation into Latin (and my performance) of my most popular song, Jórsalanám, this time in mediaeval Latin. The song details the events of the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099. The Crusaders won the siege and instituted the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
As a Catholic and given the preeminence of Latin at the time of the siege, I felt that it had to exist in my glorious liturgical language. It was good fun translating from Old Norse to Latin; they’re more similar than one would give them credit for upon first glance!
The name, Jórsalanám, literally means "The Taking of Jerusalem". The Latin name is De Expugnātiōne Hierūsalēm.
The epic picture is called "Kingdom of Heaven" by Sergey Sezonov.
Many thanks also to Louis J for his comments on the translation.

Lyrics:
Abhinc quattuor annōs iūrāvimus.
Gladiōs nostrōs promisimus.
Omnes nos crucesignāvimus.
Ad Hierūsalēm īmus!
Sȳria madet sanguine Christianorum.
Antiochīa in manū Christi.
Praetervehimur Accram et Bēthlēēm,
Hierūsalēm exspectat!
Urbs ēmergit ex horizonte.
Crucesignātī, semper porrō!
Circumdate mūrōs urbis,
obsidēte portās!
Raimundus et Francī tenent
Sion et Portam Stephani.
Godefridus ad Portam Herodis pergit,
Tancredus ex Bēthlēēm.
Nunc pugnāmus Saracēnōs.
Interfecti in terra iacent.
Non refert utrum revertāmur necne,
pugnāmus prō cruce!
Defectus spei in cordibus bellātōrum.
Terra sicca et aspera erat.
Virīs in lōrīcīs summa aestāte
dēsertum mortem affert.
Ifticarus Dux invocat
exercitum aegyptium.
Mīlia virōrum ab austro veniunt,
ignāvissimī fūgērunt.
Ademarius appāruit Petrō.
Vocāvit in peregrīnātiōnem.
Ad Montem Olivarum
discalceātī iimus.
Inimīcitiae cessērunt ōrātiōnibus.
Chrīstiānī in gratiam redierunt.
Spiritus caelestis super nōs vēnit,
Porrō, in campōs caeli!
Peregre ad auxilium nostrum
vēnit exercitus Anglorum
cum bellātōribus Genuae.
Adferunt petram et lignum.
Trīduum pugnae trucis trānsīvit.
In mūrīs septentriōnālibus
catapultae saxa iaciēbant,
et dēstrūximus castellum.
Godefridus et virī Lotharii
percurrerunt Portam Herodis.
Cēpērunt arcem et ēiēcērunt
Saracēnōs de urbe.
Godefridus ēlēctus in regem;
corōnam Jesu non cupiēbat.
Ita nōminātus est Advocātus
Sāncti Sepulchri.
Dēfendimus urbem ab aegyptiīs,
ipsō Lavendaliō Vezīrō.
Godefridus prōgrediuntur
et Rōbertus Flandrensis.
Decem mīlia crucesignātōrum
māne gladiōs ēdūcunt
in campīs Ascalōnis.
Vīsus hostium malus est.
Tunc Christiani impetum fēcērunt
arcubus et gladīis sub cruce.
Saracēnī pavidī sunt et
ēiectī sunt de terrā.
Complēvimus vōtum nostrum.
Campānae iterum tinniunt
in Sepulchrō Sānctō Dominī.
Sōlī Deō glōria!

God be with you brother, your music is truly praise to Our Lord, and is an inspiration to Catholics word-wide.
@@MaefigHistory thanks for this, my friend
God Bless you, And thank you deeply for your excellent music. I'd like to request if you could make music about my homeland, Spain. Maybe something in gothic about the battle of covadonga?
@mcorte2224 That's a wonderful idea
@@SkaldBardThank you!, You're very talented, I am looking forward to the next song
POV: it’s 2026 and we’ve taken the holy land back…
Pov: Arabs put themselves to the sword again. If they had a god would he truly allow them to fail every time?

As a Protestant Christian who's considering converting to Catholicism, this is my favorite song of yours. All of your songs are masterpieces but your ones in Latin and Crusader songs deeply resonate with my soul and heart. The Crusaders deeply inspire me to always have faith in our Holy Father, no matter my adversary or tribulation. These men traveled across ocean and land and gave everything they had to reclaim God's kingdom. Their lesson and their example strives in the hearts of all brothers and sisters in Christ. As a brother in Christ, I thank you for giving me such an incredible song to honor our faith and the Crusaders of old with. God bless you, Bard
God bless you, my friend - I am very touched by your kind words. I can only say that the beauty of our ancient Catholic faith is a gift to humanity. I would certainly encourage you to pray long and hard on the matter, and I will pray that you come home to the Church one day and revel in its glorious history, traditions and truth
Thank you for your words of support, broþor. Just yesterday I was having an argument with someone who was saying the Crusaders weren't true Christians and that the Catholic Church is a fraud. The way I see it, the Catholic Church was specifically used by our Father to give all men a chance to find God. Martin Luther was correct in pointing out the flaws within the church but as someone who grew up in Protestantism, I can confidently say that we're just as bad, if not worse than the Catholics of the 1580s. So yes, I believe with all of my heart that the Catholic Church is God's gift to all men who wish to honor God in old Christian traditions and ways of worship. I always feel closer to God when walking through a Cathedral, singing in Latin than I do in a Protestant church. It seems to me that the Cathedrals were deliberately constructed to let God flood the building and the voices of singers resonate in every corner. I can only describe it as heavenly and it makes me deeply proud to be Christian. One day, my friend, I shall join the Catholic Church as a proud and humble servant and son of Jesus Christ, and I will be glad to be part of such an ancient and historic body.
Also I hope to learn the form of Latin you sing in this song. I believe it is called Ecclesiastical Latin? I'll be moving to Germany and I suspect I will be able to learn it there but do you have any advice on the matter?
You should consider Orthodoxy.
@@EnglishOrthodox i listen to Orthodox sermons from Father Spyrdon but I have no connection with that church. I'll stick with the church of Rome
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 you don’t need a connection, the church is actually growing pretty quickly in the west.
check out @KyleOrthodox’s videos on catholicism 🙏🏻
As a Maronite Catholic Arameic Syriac from Lebanon this song relates to us big time as old Inhabitants of the Levant Antioch Syria Lebanon Israel
Majd Lilleh !
As a Latino i feel really proud of the Holy Crussaders , a lot of our Saints were crussaders and i pray to them really offten 🙏🏻✝️
Only person you should pray to is Jesus Christ
@@servantofaeie1569 Hmm, a protestant listening to a latin song? Lol
@@lukefriesenhahn8186 I like languages and songs in other languages.
@@servantofaeie1569 false, you go only to Christ for salvation and you are not to pray to the dead, when you pray to a saint you are asking them to help you or pray for you or both, Christ also prayed to Moses at the top of the hill. Christians have prayed to the saints ever since Christ himself did it. If you want sources the look up when Christ speaks to Moses in the Bible, google will tell you the exact verse and clear anything else up. (Btw. Christ offers eternal life so if you go to heaven then you are not dead so you can be prayed to)
@@Alexthegrandest1900 Christ can do it because He's God. Christ offers eternal spiritual life, not eternal physical life in this age. If you physically die, you should not be prayed to. If you pray to those who have passed on, they can't hear you and all that does is invite demons.
@SkaldBard, you're actually creating a subgenre and a corpus of songs celebrating Late Antique and Medieval Christianity in a mixed way, both modern and old-fashioned. I appreciate that. This could make for a great album.
Thank you, my friend - I do feel that this style of music is kind of unexplored so I'm glad to be pioneering it in some way. I think of it as a sort of neo-folk
@SkaldBard, keep doing it. This kind of music is a thing nowadays. Many people are creating music inspired by history. Yours is especially good.
The late Roman Empire IS the embodiement of everyone WHO Likes Last Stands ,even thought Most late emperors are Trash doesnt mean that Generals Like stilicho, aetius or even glimpses of Hope Majoran werent going down swinging
Love to our christian brothers from Ethiopia 🇪🇹❤️
Hey, you guys doing okay down there? With all this crap from Ukraine, Sudan and now Niger, I don't here much about Ethiopia 🇪🇹
@@Beorthere We are on verge of an all out civil war because of ethnic tensions and a very high rate of inflation but we are okay thanks to almighty God, Thanks for asking brother.
Tigray iirc?@@DanielSofa
@@Beorthere This time it's the Amhara region(where I'm originally from) vs the federal government. Eritrea is also getting involved and there is mass imprisonment of Amhara all over the country, it's kind of too complicated to explain over youtube comments. Thanks again for asking.
@@DanielSofa I wish you all the best, may God shield you
I fell into tears when I heard Jorsalanam again... I got back so much lost memories
Glad to hear it means a lot to you, my friend.
A grand thing to hear in the Petrine tongue. God keep and reward you brother.
cannot fathom how great this song is. It exerts a Crusader zeal that is unmatched by anything else
I'm latinist I love Latin and history of crusaders I love this epic song!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I love srusaders and they always protect Jerusalam and Israel will protect the Jerusalam
“The blood of heroes is closer to the Lord than the ink of scholars and the prayers of the pious.”
- Julius Evola
I have no idea where Evola pulled this from, and neither does the scholar Hans Thomas Hakl who is to my knowledge the only academic expert on Evola. It is supposedly (Evola himself seems to make that quite clear) quoting the Muslim Tradition, but no such passage exists, at least not within the Qur'an. In fact, it is likely that Evola mistranslated an actual passage from a hadith that reads: *"The ink of scholars is weighed on the Day of Judgement with the blood of martyrs and the ink of scholars outweighs the blood of martyrs."*
@@OlavHuitfeldt That or he was purposefully flipping it because he disagreed with the hadith.
@@fiddlesticks7245 I don't think so, he seems to be quoting it as an authority:
"Thus, in Islam, ‘holy war’ - jihad - and ‘the path of God’ are interchangeable terms. The one who fights is on the ‘path of God’. A well-known and quite characteristic saying of this tradition is, ‘The blood of heroes is closer to the Lord than the ink of scholars and the prayers of the pious.’ " - Metaphysics of War
Spoken like a thoroughly corporeal man with no spiritual sense. The earthly life is a spiritual battleground, in which scholars and the pious wage war. A "hero" who has no piety and hates wisdom has lost the spiritual war and failed to transcend his mortality. All his great acts are mere vanities. True heroism is piety enjoined to wisdom.
@Matthew-wl8tk good point. But I think there's certain wisdom that can only be attained by heros. Not to say scholars or the pious are without wisdom.
You should do a song for St. George in Anglo Saxon or St. Patrick in Medieval Irish when their patron Saint day comes next year.
Yess^^^ this pls
Great ideas!
@@SkaldBardMay you do one for Saint Andrew in Middle Irish or an Early Scottish Gaelic?
Long live the glorious Roman Rite, to call Rome our Mother Church, to call St. Peter and Paul our forbears and fathers, truly it is a great privilege to belong to her, which enjoys a primacy of all rites in the Catholic Church.
All hail God, the Holy Virgin, and the Saints
Not the version we asked for, but the one we needed
I put this on as soon as I got off work
Its astounding how there a fair amount of phonetic similarities between old Norse and latin, moreso with "hands" and "blood", even their separate translations of "Bethlehem". Please put this your spotify, I need it for my playlist
Thanks, my friend. I'll upload it to Spotify soon :-)
Oh my God this is so good, I love it, keep it up my man.
God bless the Crusaders!
Epic music! You have a lot of talent, friend!
When people lived for something that wasn't hedonistic and egoistical.
*cough* *cough* Bohemond taking Antioch for himself and Tacred fighting against Baldwin
Bohemond was arrogant. He was also the only Norman King in all of human history I'd be willing to fight and die for. @@leonardoferrari4852
I mean he was pretty comfortable in Italy, but he left that for Crusade.
@@PopeUrbanII-ws7rm He was not, he aimed to obtain his own lordship
Thousands of non-combatants were massacred in cold blood. Keep belieiving in delusional fairy tales.
I didn't know how much I needed this until I saw the notification. Refreshing, for sure, after several epic pieces in Germanic languages. Superb work!
Jórsalanám was already my favorite one of your songs and it just got better 👍
Such a beautiful song!
I am hearing this song on repeat there is just something about it that wants me to come back to it
Totalmente de acuerdo
Me too😅
not what we wanted but definitely what we needed
Not what we expected, but what we needed.
Now I can sing it!
AMAZING banger as usual
awesone i was hearing the nordic versioin on repeat but since i am french i understand the lati version way better and kinda like it more nice work my friend
this is a certified deus vult moment
Crucesignati semper porro!
Amen
Bro taths really beutifull you are very talanted and uoi have an amazin voice! keep it up!
Thank you, my friend, for the continued support!
@@SkaldBard the pleasure is mine friend you are very talanted and make graet music
Man I'd like to thank you for these. they give me hope in these damnably dark times.
I refreshes a man to hear of the great and noble deeds of his forefathers.
Almighty God keep and protect you, and may our Holy Lady guide you.
CHRISTVS VINCIT CHRISTVS REGNAT CHRISTVS IMPERAT.
Thank you, my friend, for this wonderful comment. I too look back at the deeds of our forebears and draw strength from them! God bless you
This is a true master piece ❤
СЛАВА ГОСПОДУ ИИСУСУ ХРИСТУ_!!! СЛАВА ХРИСТУ_!!! 👑⛪👍👍➕➕➕➕
I loved your original version in Norse, and thought I couldnt be better, but here we are. Great work!
Beautiful Masterpiece ✝️
Thank you! I've been subbed to your channel for a while, you make some great stuff
@@SkaldBard Thank you brother. I'm glad to hear that ✝️
One of the best songs You are reallu awesome. I can't wait for a new song! You are the best/ Ypu are pulling the most intimate stringd of my soul
You deliver the best every time 🎶 🎻
Very happy for 2nd version of this great piece! If you are planning 3rd maybe add some woman vocals on choruses. Old english would be great.
Will have to convince the wife to learn some OE ;-)
This was already my favorite song from you, it sounds just as good in Latin! Also how did your vacation/holiday go?
Glad you like it! The holiday was great, went through a few countries and was starkly reminded of just how glorious Europe really is. Beyond that, gave me a much needed rest! Thanks for asking :-)
no way
by the way, I never thought you would make a latin song
I think it would be cool if you made a song about Pobedna Pesma in Old Norse or Erik the Victorious
Thank you for keeping the music alive and releasing a masterpiece for the 100th time!!
Absolutely beautiful! Deus lo vult
Ooh, interesting.
Edit: Wow, that was a blessed banger for sure.
I absolutely love it, thank you really much for delighting my ears with this awesome latin master piece
I parked my car to listain.
Haha, I appreciate you doing so ;-)
1:22 I was waiting for bohemond and rob curthouse’s name there too smh but amazing song like every time, both of them were key players in 1098 tho. Edit - How about little song for maybe Lionheart at third crusade next? 👀
Aye, sadly a few too many glorious chaps to include. Good idea about the Lionheart!
@@SkaldBard thanks for considering it bro, he one of most lied about most misunderstood king of england lol
Amazing
Отличное исполнение! Приятно, когда TH-cam рекомендует действительно интересные каналы. Deus vult!!!
¡Vaya pero que genial queda la canción en Latín! me encanta la original pero es muy placentero escuchar una version en la que puedes entender más palabras jajaja
Superb
Excelent melody and lyrics, you're a great musician on my humble opinion.
This music, you may not understand a single word, but touches tour soul and deep in your heart you know that talks about something honorable.
Keep doing it, and dont stop. Our god gave you a great talent, use it well.
Many thanks, friend
Optimē cantāvīstī et trādūcīstī! Bene prōnūntiās! Your retracted S that you use for Icelandic translates well into Latin given it was a much more widespread phoneme than it is even today.
Thank you!
perfect
Last 10 seconds is my jam. I wish it was longer. God bless. ✝⚔
Just yesterday i was thinking about how i could translate the song to Portuguese, as to get it to be sung by my parrish's choir.
It turns out i do not have to translate in anymore, it slaps even harder in Latin
That's awesome, I'd love to hear it if you ever end up doing a choral arrangement!
POV: When you like singing, music, history and etymology, and you want it all at the same time. 👌 This song is nice.
Could you do another in latin for The Miracle of Ourique, please?
This is superb, nothing more I can say!
Gracias a estas canciones esta resurgiendo un nuevo espiritu, no se si eres consciente de la enorme fuerza que tienen estas canciones. Son un enorme estimulo, en una sociedad donde parece que esta todo perdido. De verdad, muchas gracias
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, significa mucho para mi

🏴Very God bless you, my brother in Christus,for this beautiful, truly Godly and heavenly song. When I first heard them in the channel Ex Cathedra in Old Norse original, I such fall in love with them, that I was listening them even five times in a row. It's amazing to hear them now in an ancient liturgical language of the our Church and our rite. May God always bless you,and may Holy Spirit giving you always a his own light to creating of forward masterpieces. Warmly regards from a young, Cashubian, catholic.
Thank you! Great to see someone speaking the Kashubian dialect :-)
I'd love to hear Roman Legion songs that have been Christianized so to speak
Would pay money to go listen to Skald perform live
Is it possible to do a Frankish song?
Ah yes, I've been meaning to get round to some Frankish
Deus Vult!✝️
lovely rendition!
Awesome
Great music as always😊
Gloria Tibi Domine
Epic music I'm better at singing Latin than the Other languages because I was Raised RC and Taught Latin

Damn! All this time I was hoping that the legendary *Bohemond* *of* *Taranto* would be mentioned in the song. His name didn't come up, but he would have deserved it!

In the halls of hope, *Bohemond's* tale untold,
A legendary spirit, in songs of valor, should unfold.
Through the annals of time, his name yet to find,
In the tapestry of heroes, a space undefined.
Breathtaking adventures, his life did weave,
A saga of courage, in every daring he did conceive.
In the song's embrace, his spirit we feel,
A silent echo, the skald's art to reveal.
Phenomenal creation, a bard's heartfelt rhyme,
Subscriptions and thumbs up, a gesture sublime.
May *Bohemond's* legend, in future verse, arise,
In the skaldic tapestry, where his greatness lies.

*Bohemondar* *Óðr:* *Saga* *Flæðandi* *í* *Tíma* *Endurljóma*
Í tímakröfum, þar sem endurljósin vefa,
Skýr seðill af tíma, Bohemond, hraust ok drengiligr.
Frá Norrœnu vaggi, þar sem örlög önduð,
Til austur löndanna, þar sem sólin skartar í sælu.
Fæddr í ætt Hauteville's kröftugra,
Bohemond stóð upp, ljósasteinn í myrkri.
Antioch's kall, djúpráð örlög,
Í faðmlagi Levant, þar sem arfleifð hans krunast.
Þvert hrímuglaðra víga, sverð hans söng,
Antioch's hersir, í brynju af silfri.
Byzantísk sambönd, stjórnmálaleikur sannur,
Bohemond's sýn, yfirráðandi á framkomu.
Í eldferð kristsmanna, með fánar breidda,
Hann hogg sinn sögu, um heiminn dreifði.
Frá vargǫngum standandi til sigraungra,
Bohemond's ævintýri, sem morgunsól í dagroða.
Með ljónum hróar, í riddara skraut,
Hann leiði lið sitt, þar sem dagur og nótt.
Sannvaldur yfirvaldi, í fjarlægri heimsvist,
Bohemond's stjórn, nöfnun þar sem náttúra sé list.
Silki ok gull, skreyttu hans herrdómi,
Þar sem trubadúrar endurljóma í borgarvöllum.
Vís völtur, með spennandi sjón,
Bohemond's stjórn, ein sjálfgefna leiðangr.
Frá Apúlíuskaga til fjarlægra landa,
Bohemond's arfleifð þenst æ eilíflega.
Kristsmanna brynja, kyssað af austan sandi,
Hans nafn etsað í þræðum sögunnar.
Því láttu skáldin vefa, í langsum erindi,
Sagan um Bohemond, í sterku endurljóma.
Hjarta ljóns í riddara sniði,
Í tímas annulum, hann hǫgg sitt risti.
This song gives me a strange sense of nostalgia.
The blood of our ancestors flow and pumps through our very veins.
As zachbrown2372 said, you should try making St. Georges Guides Nous in Middle English or an original song about the Saint. Certainly will be a beautiful work!
Nice ideas! Been thinking of making an original for St George
@@SkaldBard
Fier chevalier, l'éclat de ton armure
Comme un soleil attire tous les yeux.
Ta loyauté, ton âme toute pure
Nous ont conquis et nous voici joyeux.
Saint-Georges, guide nous
Sur la route claire et belle.
Saint-Georges, guide nous,
Rends-nous fermes et prêts à tout.
Garde à nos yeux le charme d'un sourire
Quand nous souffrons au plein de notre effort;
Et dussions-nous subir un long martyre,
Tiens nos coeurs droits quand faiblirons nos corps.
Saint-Georges, guide-nous
Sur la route claire et belle.
Saint-Georges, guide-nous,
Rends-nous fermes et prêts à tout.
Ô grand vainqueur, de ton séjour de gloire,
Assiste-nous quand ici nous luttons.
Conduis nos pas aux routes de victoire.
Jusqu'à la mort s'il faut, nous te suivrons.
Saint-Georges, guide-nous
Sur la route claire et belle.
Saint-Georges, guide-nous,
Rends-nous fermes et prêts à tout.
This is awesome.
Hey! I love your music, man. You should try singing one of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, they are beautiful, specially the 'Strela do Dia'. God Bless and keep the good work.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Was thinking on what to do in CK3, heard this song and decided that theres not enough christians in the world
I am a religious sunni muslim from turkey. I love your work both about pre christianity nordic era and about chiristian heritage of nordic area aswell. I would be happy when europe is rid of SJW virus and became christians once again.
It was a great confrontation - I hope it will never happen again/Это было славное противостояние - надеюсь оно никогда не повторится
To my Christian friends/Моим Христианским друзьям السلام عليكم🤚
It is beautiful. I would much like to play it at home ! Could you please share the music sheet/score ?
Belle voix ❤
Il Bardo Scaldico mio fratello in Cristo
Salve, where is this picture from i see it quite often?
One day, the elected will live in Jerusalem again! May the Eternal High Priest-King Jesus Rule over Israel for a 1,000 years and beyond!
Wasn’t williams son star at battle of Ascalon with his norman anglo coalition army? I am not english or norman descent lol But i read alot about it, He was leading man at charge with his small contingent (small by that time because took lot of casualties and it was like last battle)
When will your more recent works come to Spotify it seems to have stopped ad Harold Godwinson? Also great work as always!
Ah yes, I'll have to upload them! I'll get on it tomorrow
@@SkaldBard thank you very much!
More Latin! These are amazing!
Can you do a modern English version of this? I know it's not really something you do, but I feel like it would be so cool to hear
I'll think about it! Have had a couple of requests to put some stuff into English by now
@@SkaldBard Awesome!
When is coming the new crusade ?
I Absoulutely love this channel, would it be possible for me to pay for you to record a song?
Hey there, thanks! Let me know what you were thinking by sending me an email at skaldbardofficial@gmail.com :-)
Deus Vult Brasil 🇧🇷✝️
The Crusaders are saints for being holy warriors
Amazing!
Next please do Palastinalied in Latin!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like your accent in Latin I have similar accent, but not from ecclesiastical Latin. It is a Central European Latin accent.
RISE UP CRUSADERS!
Hey, can you perhaps recommend someone who does things like you but in German? I'm learning the language of my ancestors and would really appreciate it. Also, great song.
Hey, thanks. I'm afraid I don't know of anyone who does that specifically, but I'll try make some Old German stuff going forward :-)
I suggest Dr Ludwig He Basically fathers all Kinds of German Songs from all Times and collabs with some singers Like "der Michel" or " Karl Sternau" to create new Songs.
Do you mind if I use this as soundtrack in my youtube video? Within this video, the Pope will declare a crusade against the nation of my channel's namesake.
I can't wait for a greek song (if you do) ❤
Definitely something I'd like to do! Do love Greek
@@SkaldBard well personally I would propose to you a song about the greek revolution of 1821
Since this is a Bit West Roman themed how about east Roman? Maybe about belisarius
Never forget the God and religion of our ancestors.
Like if you are Catholic ✝️🇻🇦
