Yo imagine being marcel cellier and being the first westerner to discover this heavenly music from a completely different and unknown world. Must have blown his mind
God-mother, you, Denka, you beautiful one, Until now you were, you, Denka, my god-mother, From now on, you, Denka, you are my first love. You've burnt me, you, Denka, you've scalded me. You've made of me, you, Denka, god-mother, a dry log. A dry log, you, Denka, god-mother, a walnut tree log
Heard this on Danish national radio back in the early 80s. It is still the most beautiful single piece of music I have ever heard
This made me full on cry. Never heard anything like it. Hits you really hard.

It’s arguably the same experience for anyone from the west listening to this music for the first time
This is beautiful
I have no clue what they are singing about but this performance is so exquisite as to defy any need for language.
God-mother, you, Denka, you beautiful one,
Until now you were, you, Denka, my god-mother,
From now on, you, Denka, you are my first love.
You've burnt me, you, Denka, you've scalded me.
You've made of me, you, Denka, god-mother, a dry log.
A dry log, you, Denka, god-mother, a walnut tree log
It calms me when I have bad memories on my mind. :)
