Seigneurs, Sachiez - French Crusade Song

This one was written by King Theobald I “the Troubadour“ of Navarre, also count of Champagne and the main organizer of the Barons’ Crusade, which ended with the Kingdom of Jerusalem regaining its capital, Nazareth, Bethlehem and most of Galilee. He brought many souvenirs back to europe, including a rose he planted in his helmet and a piece of the True Cross. This song is a rally not only to the crusades of old, but for those who are too afraid to defend their faith. Remember these men. Lyrics: Seignor, sachiés: qui or ne s’en ira en cele terre ou Dex fu mors et vis, et qui la crois d’Outremer ne penra, a paines mais ira en Paradis. Qui a en soi pitié ne ramembrance au haut Seignor doit querre sa venjance et delivrer sa terre et son païs. Tuit li mauvés demorront par deça qui n’aiment Dieu, bien, ne honor, ne pris. Et chascuns dit: “Ma feme, que fera? Je ne lairoie a nul fuer mes amis!“
