Eluveitie - Celtos Lyrics

the witcher OST on steroids

Does anyone have any information on the meaning of this song or translation?

Umm... The on-beat?? Holy Christ, someone grab the crown... There be kings amongst us 😍👍

Some rough translation;
Doaxte in bretannoi rigion (Doughter of Bretannoi)
Auios (Grandson)
Mapon (Son)

I think Gaulish ones are similar to English.

Rigion means queen. It's the female form of ri which means king.

Gaulish ? 😊

Lilou helvète 😉

LyricsMania Ok thank you 😙

Is nice 👍👍👍

0:56 Tri Martolod <3

Heard on Storming The Ramparts show tonight on 89.5 WSOU Seton Hall Pirate radio.

Ahaha, it is a nice mix between the original versions from Tri Yann :) https://youtu.be/3-M7HBsV1RA and Alan Stivell https://youtu.be/wMQbcGNs9kg

3 use of the same trad music by Eluvetie damn ! :o

Real Shit

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WONDERING, THE LANGUAGE IS ACCTUALLY GÆLIC NOT GAULLISH,

GÆLIC OS THE NATIVE LANGUAGE FOR THE CELTIC TRIBES, THIS SONG IS ABOUT HOW CELTS BELIEVED TGE CAME INTO EXISTENCE THEREFORE ITS NOT GAULISH, THE GAULS WHERE STATIONED IN GERMANY AND WHERE A GERMANIC TRIBE, plz don't get them mixed up

Mac Kent Gaul (Latin: Gallia) was a region of Western Europe during the Iron Age that was inhabited by Celtic tribes, encompassing present day France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, Northern Italy, as well as the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine

Mac Kent this also sounds nothing like Gaelic...nid yw'n swnio'n Gymraeg,chan eil e fuaim, ní fuaimeann sé irish

Chorus reminds me in some way of "Wanderer" by Ensiferum. Marvelous song!

For me, too. Heard this song live at Rockharz and thought a little bit it was Ensiferum :D

This song very much reminds me of Luxtos. That being said, this is probably my favorite song from the album!

3:30 most glorious key change in all of music

truth has been spoken

who is "Io"?

Esther C "Lo" is an archaic way of saying "behold." Behold the sovereign Celtos

Wow! So powerful and heroic! I need to see the English translation! I bet it tells an epic legend! The music is so adventures and beautiful!

the solo that begins in 2:15 is killing me. Flutegasm.

But a total Tri Yann ripoff

@Killian it is not a fucking 'ripoff". Also it is not just tri yann's song. It is originally a breton folk song.

anyone that can understand this song from canada can i hire you too teach me the language?

@Doctor Horse
 I say descendant because it is. Latin was mixed with gaulish and so it was made new language, later on the Franks came and brought up their way of speaking, there we can see so many similarities with french today. After language evolved on it's own and that's how we have modern french, and nobody can say that in 500 years from now it will stay the same. Language is a living thing, and latin is not dead, nor gaulish, their DNA is just passed on some new generations. :)

Igor Solić for example the word go in french ils aller in gaulish if you say I go you say allu

That just proofs how similar indicative of verb is, I don't get your point.
And it is Ils vont, conjugated.

Igor Solić that va vas vont part comes from latin but somehow the language was able to preserve old gaulish word in allons allez or in imparfait etc.

They've reconstructed the language (experts helped). Gaulish is a dead lang.

this song is the best for an epic boss battle x3

Eluveitieargasm

Eluveitie is the Best Celtic Folk Metalband

Weozet yeah ! 💜

Fuck yeah!

This is probably the only band that sings in a language I cannot understand and it doesn't bother me. Usually I just can't do it for some reason.

That language has been dead nearly 1900 years now so. Yeah there are translations but not much.

This song is about Slavia Prague football club...thats why they sing " adios Slavieee "

+Co já vim Tyvole Trapný -_-

epica!!

Ueuone drucorigin
Auios auiettos, auios auiei !!!?

+Qxyz Zyxq this 'u' between vowels is actually 'w', 'cause ancient gaulish scripts use latin letters where v, w and u are written v, or ancient greek letters, where for 'w' was used a digamma (ϝ)

which language for that song?

gaulish and english

It's called gælic not Gaulish, the Gauls arnt Celtic, the Celtic tribes of Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland Cornwall and wales spoke gælic, google still have scot gælic on translation and Welsh 😉

Mac Kent celtic tribes from scandinavia???

Actually it is called Gaulish, although the Gauls have more claim to being 'Celtic' than do the British or Irish.

Mac Kent The gauls are actually The celts...

HAIL to Celtic Metal!

Gaulish.

+Yvonne Geffert Yes, they're Celtic.

One of my favourite songs ever!

Mineeee toooo!

Ich kann dieses Lied mir ewig reinziehen ^-^ Es bleibt einfach endgeil ♪ Eluveitie <3 Yeah! :3

is it me, or does this sound similar to Santiano? The name of the song escapes me at the moment, but one of Santiano's songs sounds pretty much like this =D minus the metal-ness

Many folk songs have similarities.

Instant classic! Can't wait to see this song live :D

I might die if no one knows what Auios auiettos, auios auiei means...

+Nathan Houston What does it mean, i cant find anything about it anywhere. I do truly wish to know.

Auios means grandson.
Auiettos means scarce , probably.
And auiei means "from+(somewhere)" , but not sure about that one.
Gaulish lyrics are similar to English ones.
Gaulish lyrics are similar to

Eluveitie is the best!!! Celtos, From Darkness, King and Silver Sister make the perfect album.

@Siranta Koirala Rose for Epona and Call of the Mountains!

@Siranta Koirala that's right I love them

And Slania's Song, Luxtos and Uis Elveti ☆

The chorus describes my girlfriend and I... She's a "Breton" because she was born in Ireland, I was born in the US..aka the west. And we both to have a son...

Is it just me or the chorus sounds really similar to Ensiferum - Wanderer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5tZB1RVh7M

I love this song, and I know that the transaltion of the Gaulish lytics can't be found anywhere, but I'd like to understand what the English part is about; who is the king from Antumnos, who is his wife, and who is Io "sovereign Celtos"? I searched everywhere for legends regarding Io, or a King from Antumnos, but I could not find anything.

@Alphard Killjoy Hard to find, refer to books about celts, I could find this: http://www.ldolphin.org/cooper/ch8.html but there are many stories kept within the local folk, myself not being a local, have problems locating this information

Relatively certain lo isnt the name since people use it in phrases
I.e. lo and behold, your champion

+Alphard Killjoy Antumnos is a derivation of the phrase ande-dubnos, a phrase found on a Gaulish curse tablet that literally translates as 'underworld'. The 'noble daughter of Bretannos' is a reference to a first century poet, Parthenius of Nicaea, who stated that Celtus was the son of Heracles (the Greek form of Hercules) and Keltine, daughter of Bretannus.  


Antumnos was identified as a place of delights and eternal youth, not too dissimilar from the modern ideas of Heaven, or somewhere where the gods would live. Extending that argument, and taking the account of Parthenius, then Heracles, as the son of Zeus, could be held to be a king of men, hence the 'high king of Antumnos'.


The Celtos thing is a little more convoluted so bear with me - the word Celt comes from the Latin Celtae, which itself derived from the word keltoi (no-one is entirely sure if the word actually has Greek roots, or comes instead from the Indo-European roots meaning to hide, to heat or to impel) and we get the root of Celt from Celtus, the son of Keltine, 'noble daughter of Bretannos' and Heracles. This became the eponym for the assorted peoples of Western Europe (Celts) so we get 'their first born son, lo the sovereign Celtos'


From a linguistic perspective, it can be argued that the Celts became Celts from that word Celtus, who was born of Antumnos, thus themselves were the 'offspring of Antumnos'.

That is very informative, i thank you

I can't find a translation of this and I really wish I could... if anyone out there knows the translation it would be very helpful!

@Jonathanimator Best rough translation ever.

@Jonathanimator Do you know what "Auios Auiettos" means please ? Because it's so catchy, I really want to know what it means ^^

Thanks a lot mate, where did you learn so much about Gaulish ?

Okay, so I was on Spotify, and on there is the bonus commentary stuff on the Origins CD. Apparently this is actually a retelling of how the ancient Celts believed they came into existence: by descending from the God of Antumnos (the Otherworld). So, it's basically the story of the souls of the Celts being created in the Otherworld and coming into this world and stuff.

Thus, this song is not actually about a new king taking over.

what is the language in this song? :D

The language is Helvetic (as spoken by the Helvetii tribe, historically located in Switzerland) Gaulish.

Hey, did anybody catch that the tune of the chorus is the same tune as the chorus of their song "Inis Mona?" The actual tune is from the old Breton song 'Tri Martolod.'

sounds similar to a song from saltatio mortis^^

Hanter-dro très ancienne de la région nantaise
meaning:
Hanter-dro is a type of song and this is a cover of an old Hanter-dro from the Nantes area in French Brittany. It was already covered by Tri Yann: Tri Yann - Maluron Lurette

The rhythm for the lyrics is from an old Breton song or verse.  Does anyone know what that particular piece is called, and maybe what it is about?

This is the song ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-M7HBsV1RA

Thanks a ton!

LyricsMania damn dude thats neat!

TetsuProductions Tri martolod

Can't seem to find a translation for the lyrics anywhere.....Help!

It's a dead Celtic language, so you're most likely not going to find it easily.

NightshadeTS it's Celtic but there's no translation for it unless you find a native Celtic speaker, I'm native scot Celtic, we talk English as are language faided years ago but some like this band still talk Native Celtic

It's Gælic, an ancient dead Celtic language. The band got help writing in this language from scientists. You're unlikely to find a translation anywhere

Gaelic refers specifically to the Subgroup of the Celtic family found in Ireland and later in Western Scotland. This is in Gaulish, which is, as you say, dead, however it significantly different from Gaelic. This language retains case ending in nouns for example

Gaelic is definitely not dead yet, I'm learning it right now. It is dying though. Help keep it from going the way of Gaulish!

I bet my wood elf wardancers have this song on their ipod! :D

you sir made my day ... they surely have :D

@*****
I guess... whatever you kids are calling it these days! ;)

My nord headbangs to this

Origins is definitely the strongest album from Eluveitie to date.

Yo it's been a while, but have you heard Ategnatos?

Someone can help me? 
I want the translation of the song Celtos, but is in a dead language.
Can they help me?

I do believe it's gaelic.

what language are they singing in?

A renewed Gallic.

It should be Gaulish

Merci l'auteur! mais sais-tu où on peut trouver la traduction celte français ? En tous cas encore un coup de génie de eluveitie ;)

j'ai pas trouvé mieux que ça . http://fr.lyricsfeast.com/paroles-celtos-de-eluveitie-traduction-francais.html

En français, gaulish = gaulois :)
There are some words in french that come from this language

When I heard this song for the first time, my 5 senses stopped moving. My heart was pounding and my jaws were wide open.

This song... paralyzed me on how awesome it it. Just a perfect and beautiful song.

Good one, much better than silver sister. Eluveitie forever and more!!!

For anyone interested, heres the tradicional bretonne tune that eluveitie used for this one : Tri Yann - Maluron Lurette

Thank you 👍

I have a feeling this song could be inspired by celtic-like songs like Inis Mona and Luxtos are, am I crazy? Maybe I heard that somewhere before and I have fragments of memories that are coming back or they are just gods at it!

Well Inis Mona and Luxtos are bot cover of Manau's song. Inis Mona is La vallée de Dana.

Sorry,Inis Mona is a metal cover of "Tri Martolod", just like "La vallée de Dana" is a cover of the same song by Manau. Luxtos is a cover of "J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre" wich is an old french song.

Luxtos is more a cover of "La Jument de Michao", "J'ai vu le loup, le renard et le lièvre" is an old song in provencal french (Ai vis lo lop).
The song Celtos is mainly based on the melody of
"Maluron Lurette"

@Uldrik34 Yeah for Luxtos you might be right, I just went straight to the root of the song. I dislike saying a song is based on a cover, but I guess sometimes the cover itself is different enough to inspire another one!

As for Celtos, I'll take a look! 

@Uldrik34 Jesus Christ, I went to listen to Maluron Lurette and it's exactly that!! I knew I heard that somewhere. We used to sing that when I was young, I'm from Quebec!

Allthought the whole album is great, This song, together with Vianna are my favorites. By the way I haven´t found anything about it in the CD. But the girl who is talking at the end of origins, her voice sounds a little bit like Maisie Williams (Arya Stark actor from game of thrones) to me. Could it realy be her, or are my ears betraying me a bit.

I am in the same thoughts and ears - it sounds like her like it was recorded 3 years ago

Vianna, this, and King are in a three-way tie for me. A really strong album overall, and they just seem to keep getting better.

Has to be my favourite song from Origins. The catchiness and that chorus.. All in all the song just feels natural, like it's floating on and on.. :D

...auios auiei... fuck, I don't know what it means, but it's catchy and sounds like a spell.

@*****  what about auois auiettos ?

Extremely catchy, eventhough only the chorus is in english :-)

My favourite song from CD :))

I don't know... I can't decide between this, From Darkness, and Call of the Mountains. Then again, Virunus, King and The Silver Sister are all pretty amazing, too... it's just such a good album, it's hard to choose
