  • While making this video I ran into a problem that few of the livonian letters are not supported by Mostra Nuova font, so I had to improvise and use letters from the latvian and estonian alphabet that sound similar to livonian ones.
    Lyrics:
    Vaņtligid, kui piedāg tikkiž
    Kūldatõd um kȭnka pǟl,
    Ammõ randõ pǟvaļikīs
    Nǟtõ kūldas pālstam sǟl.
    Kajāgõn āt õbdizt tībõd,
    Samti am um kākuoļõn,
    Ōrõnd nei īž tõurõd lībõd
    Rāndadīban, sportistõn.
    2x:
    Mis tēg minnõn kītõt kūldast,
    Õbdõst, mis um mōnallõ,
    Kīenta vȯtšõmõst um mūldast,
    Tulgid īņõz miernaigõ.
    Etagõd sīn pūoi eņtš sīlma,
    Sīn, kus pǟva lūojõ lǟb;
    Kus siz vȯlks kil iļ mōīlma
    Neijen rikūzt, kui sǟi nǟb.
    Sǟi nǟb neijen kuldm lāistam,
    Kuijen tõvā mier īd um,
    Siegās vaidõ õbdõ pāistam
    Lāinõd tutkāmis kui lum.
    2x:
    Mis tēg minnõn kītõt kūldast,
    Õbdõst, mis um mōnallõ,
    Kīenta vȯtšõmõst um mūldast,
    Tulgid īņõz miernaigõ.
    Illõ ailõb purpur pīla,
    Allõ laint um dimanti.
    Amā immõr rikāz vīļa
    Äbnimtõd ja ädsmingi.
    Kädud imlõs kubbõ pānda
    Tēg set võikst ja īdsõ sūs
    Kītõ sǟi: "Ūod rikāz, rānda,
    Seļļizt rikūzt äb ūo mūs."
    6x:
    Mis tēg minnõn kītõt kūldast,
    Õbdõst, mis um mōnallõ,
    Kīenta vȯtšõmõst um mūldast,
    Tulgid īņõz miernaigõ.

    On a sidenote, the common problem with such "historical" pictures as we see in the video is, well, the lack of historicity. People who paint them apparently have no idea about the real cost of an early medieval sword (like the typical Carolingian one depicted here - in a moderately rich scabbard too, mind you). It's not like it was fundamentally unavailable for a rich commoner, but it *was* expensive, and was normally a sign of a military professional of some kind. However, a military professional in a military context would be, first and foremost, better armored (a helmet - which would be a necessity even for a commoner if he has to go to war, by the way, - and most likely a short chainmail). Also, a lot of weaponry and the lack of shield don't make sense together; basically any early medieval melee is fighting with a shield. (And I'd bet the guy in the picture has some sort of bast shoes on his feet to the top of it. Totally eclectic.)

      It is just a drawing of a Livonian posing with weapons. His garments suggest he is a noble or a retainer, but that does not mean he would be equipped in full battle kit 24/7. Plenty of medieval manuscripts feature similar images, with subjects who are armed but not armored.
      Outside of combat, one would not want to wear a cumbersome helmet or any metal armor for that sake. There are also plenty of scenarios where one would be armed but not wear battle kit, such as hunting or traveling.

    Rikāz rānda (rich coast)
    See how the pine
    all golden at the top of the dune,
    look how the whole coast
    sparkling gold under the sun.
    The seagull has silver wings
    sailor's velvet dress,
    the same expensive clothes
    and the sandpiper-athlete.
    What are you telling me about gold,
    about underground silver,
    who wants to find him on earth,
    come to the seaside!
    Turn your gaze to that side
    where the sun sets;
    where else in this world is there
    as much wealth as there is seen?
    There is glittering gold
    to the depths of the sea,
    and white silver shines
    on the crests of the waves, like snow.
    A purple cloud floats above
    below - emerald wave,
    and around - vast treasures,
    incomprehensible, draws.
    You can only fold your hands
    and say with one voice:
    "You are rich, shore,
    there is no such wealth anywhere else!”

      @@athelonus There is a etymology book in Estonian that shows the origin of many words as Estonian has about half of it from foreign background. Livonian word "Rikāz" is "rikas" in Estonian which is told to be from proto-Germanic "rīkja". I guess Livonian would have the same origin.
      //EDIT Actually I think the book shows all the other possibilities under that aswell like Old Icelandic "ríkr", German "reich", English "rich". I'm not too certain on the markings on the book, as the loan-marker is only marked on one row but I think it applies to all of them based on other marking down the line.

    As an Estonian, I can barely understand anything.
    Few sentances or words based on pronounciation were understandable. No clue if that's what they actually mean.
    "Nǟtõ kūldas pālstam sǟl" - Näete kuidas paistab sääl (You'll see how it shines there)
    "kūldast" - kullast (made of gold)
    "Õbdõst" - hõbedast (made of silver; actually I'm not too sure about that, the pronounciation of the Livonian word sounds like something else)
    "mūldast" - mullast (made of dirt / from dirt)
    "Sīn, kus pǟva lūojõ lǟb"- siin kus päev looja läeb (here where the day sets)
    "Seļļizt rikūzt" - sellist rikkust (wealth of this sort)

      Bro this not my first time hearing livonian but first time seeing the text so if i thought, yes its somehow still similar to eesti but it sounds more like baltic or even slavic than any uralic, finnic language. Only thing i still understood was the name of song rikāz randa

      @sour_pop2910 Год назад +8

      @@Nakkisesonki The more you listen and look at the words the more sense they make, for example "Mis tēg minnõn kītõt kūldast" sounds and is written pretty close to "Mis te minule kitute kullast" which of course isn't in perfect Estonian but you can get the meaning by looking it as broken Estonian. Also another example "Illõ ailõb purpur pīla" also is similar to "Üleval hõljub purpurne pilv". The language was for sure 1000 years ago more similar to Estonian than now, but you can still understand quite a lot with only knowing Estonian.

    80 years ago, our 5th grade chorus learned a lovely, lilting anthem: "Oh Oh Livonia, noble land. Land of sorrows and of joys. In the great stone church, wedding bells are sounding for my true love...." My brother is cruising the Baltic and mentioned the singing traditions of the modern-day countries that were once Livonia. I wonder if any reader has heard it and could steer me to a recording. We Behrs emigrated from Riga in 1840 and may have inherited our own great tradition of family, community, and church singing from that heritage.

      This is not the same Livonia you're thinking of, but thanks for taking the time to comment. This song is sung in livonian language which is from finno-ugric branch, these people used to live in latvian territories neighbouring other baltic and finnic tribes. Livonia you're reffering to is a german created state, made by occupying and killing the native inhabitants of modern day Latvia and Estonia.

    “Obdost mis um mõnallõ”, which is pretty close to the Finnish translation “Hopeasta joka on maan alla”

    It is said that the Livonian language is extinct, but if someone tell me there is a small community of Livonian speakers somewhere in Argentina, the Middle-West of USA or the southern region of Brazil, I would believe it.
    Those rural regions inhabited by european immigrants on the Americas protect better their older culture than modern Europe. The old Pomeranian language, for example, was extinct in Germany, but there are still speakers of it in Brazil.

      @@punishedlatvian5710 Russia is a really weird case of an aggressive expansionist empire practicing imperialism from which literally no coherent cultural group of people benefit - not even Russians themselves, especially once you look at the history. It's all to feed the beast itself, and those who happen to ride it at any given moment enjoy the ride until they get eaten themselves in time (like Romanovs were, for example). Consequently, much of modern Russian culture is basically reified Stockholm Syndrome - like, seriously, people celebrate their own history of being used as a fuel for the imperial expansion. :/
      But that part of the lineage starts with the Grand Duchy of Muscovy, while the culture itself goes much further back, and those older parts also manifest, even when they're actively suppressed. Arkona, for example, is also Russian culture - and openly against the war. Grai is another example, although they are more circumspect about it.

      Народам россии нужно культурное просвещение и каждодневная работа и людьми.... я сам родился в россии, но живу 4 года в Польше. Всё это время я веду разговоры со своими родителями, что народы Европы и Прибалтики не являются врагами, а просто люди хотят жить независимо от россии и наш долг, принять этот выбор и строить добрососедские взаимоотношения. Простой подумай, сколько всего можно было бы сделать, если бы ресурсы, потраченные на войну, перераспределить во благо... @@punishedlatvian5710
