about

Written in Gascon (dialect of Occitan mostly spoken in Gascony and Béarn in southwestern France), the song is about the link between Men and Cernunnos, the old celtic god of life and death.

The traditional instruments used are diatonic accordion and the traditionnal three holed whistle, the "flabuta" which are played with one hand, while the rythme is hit by the free hand on a stringed percussion called "tambourin à corde".

The singing techniques are both polyphonic and mongolian throat singing in the chorus.

Hope you enjoy and feel free letting me know !

LYRICS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(GASCON)
Au beth miei de l'auratge, lo pichòt qu'ei eishaubrat
Lo pericle que broneish, que trobè un accès
Dens ua nena casa, de calhaus e de tèrra
Los uelhs engorgossits, lo pichòt qu'ei adromit

Au matin, la borrada qu'ei partida luenh d'aci
Deishant au darrèr, un paisatge desolat
Lo refugi n'ei pas mei, los calhaus desapareishen
Per escambi un cauteron e quaques auhertas

Un cauteron, un tòrc e un gran sabér dens lo
Cauteron, la còrna d'abondancia
Un gran podér, sus lo regne animau
Un diu vivent, la vita e la mort

Lo cernunnos, tan beròi e tan fier, qu'ei lo
Cernunnos, un mainat de la terra
Lo cernunnos, paumon de la natura
Cernunnos, mi cèrvi mi òmi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(FRENCH)
Au milieu de l'orage, le petit se fait surprendre
L'orage gronde, l'enfant trouve un abri
Dans un tout petit refuge, fait de pierres et de terre
Les yeux remplis de larmes, le petit s'est endormi

Au matin l'orage est parti
Laissant derrière un paysage défiguré
La maison n'est plus, les cailloux volatilisés
A la place un chaudron et des offrandes

Un chaudron, un torc et un grand savoir dans le
Chaudron, la corne d'abondance
Un grand pouvoir, sur le règne animal
Un dieu vivant, la vie et la mort.

Le cernunnos, si beau et si fier, c'est le
Cernunnos, un enfant de la terre
Le cernunnos, poumon de la nature
Cernunnos, mi cerf, mi homme

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(ENGLISH)
In the middle of the storm, the child is surprised
The thunderstorm rises, just in time, he finds a shelter
Made of earth and stones.
His eyes full of tears, the child falls asleep

In the morning the storm is over
Leaving behind a disfigured landscape
The house is gone, and so are the stones
Instead a cauldron and offerings

A cauldron, a torc and deep knowledge in the
Cauldron, the cornucopia
A great power, on the animal kingdom
A living god, life and death.

The cernunnos, so beautiful and so proud, he's the
Cernunnos, a child of the earth
The cernunnos, the breath of nature
Cernunnos, half deer, half man

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(ESPAÑOL)
En medio de la tormenta, el niño se sorprende.
La tormenta se levanta, justo a tiempo, encuentra un refugio.
Hecho de tierra y piedras.
Con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, el niño se duerme.

Por la mañana ha terminado la tormenta.
Dejando atrás un paisaje desfigurado.
La casa se ha ido, y también las piedras.
En cambio un caldero y ofrendas.

Un caldero, un torque y un profundo conocimiento en el
Caldero, la cornucopia
Un gran poder, sobre el reino animal.
Un dios vivo, la vida y la muerte.

Los cernunnos, tan hermosos y tan orgullosos, él es el.
Cernunnos, un niño de la tierra.
Los cernunnos, el aliento de la naturaleza.
Cernunnos, mitad ciervo, mitad hombre.

about

Pereg Ar Bagol Salies De Béarn, France

I play the Scottish bagpipes and whistles in Skiltron (Folk metal - Argentina)
And the Gasconian bagpipes (called boha) and the accordion in Boisson Divine (Folk Metal - France).

In my part of France, polyphonic singing is a cultural matter.
I love composing blending different techniques and trying new stuff.

I also enjoy modeling
