🔥 Gündem The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 'Songs of the Past' Official Teaser Trailer and Lyric
"Songs of the Past" is a beautiful and melancholic piece from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soundtrack, specifically featured in the "Blood and Wine" expansion. The lyrics, like much of the game's music, are sung in Old Speach, which is a fictional language inspired by Old English, Welsh, and other ancient European languages. This makes a direct, universally agreed-upon English translation somewhat challenging, as different interpretations can arise.
However, the general consensus on the theme and a widely accepted interpretation of the lyrics revolve around themes of loss, fading memories, the passage of time, and the enduring spirit of a land or people despite hardship. It often evokes a sense of ancient history and the echoes of past glories and sorrows.
Here are the most commonly cited lyrics in Old Speach, followed by a popular English interpretation:
Original Old Speach Lyrics:
*Elaine eto evelien
Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh
Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh
Elaine eto evelien
Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh
Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh*
*Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh
Aevon aevon, va'esse deireadh*
Common English Interpretation:
*Beautiful lady, remember
Ages and ages, until the end
Ages and ages, until the end
Beautiful lady, remember
Ages and ages, until the end
Ages and ages, until the end*
*Ages and ages, until the end
Ages and ages, until the end*
This interpretation suggests a plea to remember, to hold onto the past through the vast stretches of time, implying a connection to enduring heritage and the weight of history that permeates the world of The Witcher. The repetitive nature of "Ages and ages, until the end" emphasizes the timeless quality of these memories and the struggles they represent.
