Eluveitie - Omnos Lyrics

the medieval version is younger than this one this one is the celtic version, preroman version which is probably just about a relationship he obviously just wants to fuck with her and doenst care bout feelings..... don't think that the medieval version is more intelligent than the original one... so maybe the dark age people didnt see any sexual connection because during that time they were Christians and in conflict with the orient..(they burnt celtic speaking peopel as witches sometimes in central europe and western europe).. so think about the background of the people who interpreted the original story.... almost every fairy tale ha sits origin in the celtic culture...

your Wellcome.

AWESUM.......

beatuful song, once its translated its so dark yet even more awesome XD gah i love this band :) soooooo good

Great song, great tune, great to know old things are being preserved (yes, metal and all)

(I love this song although I can't understand it) "wow. then how can you love it? it's lyrics are for the immortally intuned. the celts and gauls who wish to be known"

How can you say you love to watch a sunset if you don't understand astrophysics? LOL! There's no particular value in astrophysics where you're looking at a beautiful sunset.

Vocals are in a way the least significant part of music. It's musicianship that counts, that makes music more than poetry. Is it a neat poem? Probably! But that neither adds nor subtracts from the value of the song.

(I love this song although I can't understand it) "wow. then how can you love it? it's lyrics are for the immortally intuned. the celts and gauls who wish to be known"

Well, They could love it because a song is much more than just it's lyrics and their meaning. the simple combination of sounds in the words, the instruments, the melody and the rhythm, they all evoke a feeling.
You can feel a powerful feeling from a song even if you don't know what it's about.

"I love this song although I can't understand it.." wow. then how can you love it? it's lyrics are for the immortally intuned. the celts and gauls who wish to be known.

it's about a virtous girl who was in the forest and a wolf comes along and rapes her, and she merely wants him to stay, but he claims he never loved her. then she's broken hearted. the classic version of little red riding hood, but much darker and serious, not the sugarcoated childrens version. :)

Icci!
Intriguing name for this song, for Omnos means "coppery, bronze-colored" in Gaulish and is often used as an epithet for Ogmios !

- Commios

for the ppl who said "i cant understand it'
OMG FOR GOD SAKE READ THE LYRICS O___O

Girl: I am a fair, pretty girl, full of virtue and youthfulness. The forest's flowers and songs I love.´
Wolf: Hey, pretty young girl, what are you doing in the forest alone, so far from all beings?
Girl: Hey, handsome boy, come here! Let us pick some flowers in this forest together!
Wolf: I am not a boy, I am the bad wolf. In the woods I hunt, hunt for the flower of your youth.
Girl: Well, wolf, let us play a game, let us dance a joyful dance, let us sing decent songs!
Wolf: I don't like children's games, I like playing sinister wolf games in the depths of the forest, with you.
Girl: Wild wolf, do whatever your heart longs for, but I beg you: Stay with me!
Wolf: No, girl, I will not abide with you, I'm not staying with you and don't love you. Never loved you.
Girl: I was a fair and pretty girl. Now I'm poor and overcome with shame. Now only the deep pond awaits me.

its gaulish and here the translation :D
