From what I can tell, the Song of Roland is a poem (& a long one at that). You can find it told on RUclips as an audiobook, but if you want a tune for it, I found an English rock version done of it here: ruclips.net/video/tjTnW4CPtHg/видео.html
Damien C. I’d be happy to help with that, I’m reconstructing the language, and I have a song “Garnaith map Garnaith” I’m technically the only living Pictish speaker XD
Hey, nice one as usual, did I request for you to do a Norwegian song?, because I can't remember and also can you please do a shetland Gaelic song?, at some point, cheers
Did I request Norwegian? I'm pretty sure I requested Finnish. ;-) Not that I'm really complaining. This was a kick-arse version of the song anyway. Love it!
Harald Foss sings a version pretty similar to yours, albeit I think there's a pretty low chance for a worldly song of that time and place to have its melody recorded, as musical literacy was extraordinarily rare. ruclips.net/video/JqwnkaWYsPo/видео.html
As much as I'd LOVE to see Creepy Bard do a song in my (our?) native tongue... I wonder if the language is old enough. It's weird to think that there are songs surviving to this day that are older than entire languages....
That would be Xhosa. :-) The others also use clicks, but Xhosa has the widest variety of them, and is a notoriously difficult language to learn as a result.

This channel is so wholesome
I didnt know this existed this is amazing
OMG, this was almost a year ago. Somehow I missed it. I love it.
You are just ridiculously funny. Every time I watch your videos, I hear good music, and I laugh my ass off.
He's singing a Norwegian translation of a French song while playing an Irish bouzouki. 🇳🇴🇨🇵🇮🇪
Love your version!
Iäm obsessed with your version! Please make an album

Old Billy Riler.

Not sure if you''ve done this before, but Pictish!

MIDDLE FRIDAY, AUGUST 3RD

Love ya'!

Try one in Tagalog!
Ooh! That would be fun
Mahirap talaga
Don’t give him any ideas.
That’s a bastardized language that stole Indonesian, Malay, and Spanish words.
The language of thieves.
😎👏👏
Digne de Maître Jaskier 😆🤙👍
Bard! what instrument is that which you are playing?
It is a bouzouki.
The Creepy Bard it looks very cool, where can I get one?
Floyd Hoelzl I got mine at my local music store, but if yours does not carry one you should be able to find one online.
Now here's an interesting idea...try a song in a Native American language, like Navaho or Inuktatuk.
Isn't the Song of Roland more of an epic poem?

You should play this again in English.
Klingon!

Go for Japanese next
Your pronounciation is impressive. I can hardly hear your accent.
Afrikaans!

Maybe he could do one of those South African languages that have the tongue clicks.
By the way, I did one in Afrikaans, so I am ahead of the creepy bard!: MI1BY0Ra9RQ
That would be Xhosa. :-) The others also use clicks, but Xhosa has the widest variety of them, and is a notoriously difficult language to learn as a result.
Xhosa it is, then!
He's pretty hot wow
