Pieter Breughel in Brussel [Brabantian folk song]

-History:
The duchy of Brabant
Pieter Breughel in Brussel is a song made by Yannes van de Velde. Allthough the song is not that old, it's sang in the Brabantian language by Yannes. Brabant was a Duchy under different kingdoms during the medieval period in Europe. Brabant was subjects from countries like Burgundy, Spain, Austria, the holy roman empire and the united provicnes (Netherlands). The duchy itself was desolved during the Napoleonic wars in where Napoleon disbanded the duchy and gave the north to its newly founded vassal state called the "Batavian Kingdom". The southern part was integrated into France. Brabantian was more distinct from both Dutch and Flemish at the time but still Dutch and Flemish people would be able to understand Brabantian. Nowadays most people view it as a dialect of the Dutch language. What used to be the dutchy of Brabant is now part of Flanders in Belgium and the sourthern part of the Netherlands called "Noord-Brabant" or "North-Brabant". You can still find a lot of medieval remnants of the duchy of Brabant in these areas, from archeological sites to still operational monestaries and medieval towns. Brabant is well known for it's forest-like terrain.
Pieter Breughel the Old
Pieter Breughel was a Brabantian artist in the 16th century. Almost all of the images in the bankground of this video were paintings of Pieter. The song is about Pieter Breughel waking up from the dead to see how Brabant (Brussels in particular) Changed during his rest. To his surprise, the dutch were not fighting with the Spanish anymore and French people started to live in Brussels by large quantities. At the end of the song, a sad Pieter Breughel goes back to his resting place after he painted a small painting of a Fleming imprisoned by his own complexities and struggle against foreign influence.

I noticed a little mistake in the end of the song, the last sentence at 3:31 should be translated to "Open it and let him free". Not "for the world to behold". It eems something happened during the export of the video. My apologies for that. Might do a reupload in the future some day, due to this mistake.

[@joachimarnould2490]

At 2:10 i think it's "enmerdent" wich mean annoying instead of "néerland" that will also make sens in this context

[@mudmax8974]

+1, i'm french and it's the only part I can understand

[@Alrik.]

The northern Netherlands where called "Batavian Republic" and then "Kingdom of Holland" during Napoleonic times, not "Batavian Kingdom" as stated in the video description.
Nice song though!

[@Kobus43]

Topper dit een B A N G E R. 🎉

[@quiztopolis]

rond 2:13 is het nu "Flamands et Neerlands" of "Flamand, emmerdant" zoals in de meeste teksten te vinden? Klinkt alvast als emmerdant.

[@wugle]

"Flamand, emmerdant" klopt

[@lennart94]

The tower of Babel from Pieter Breugel the old, inspired on the the Bible story in verse Genesis 11:4 (the old testemant).

[@magical5181]

@@lennart94 wow it’s so cool, I knew it’s probably fiction and hasn’t existed. Right? Thanks so much btw

[@dudefrombelgium]

@@magical5181 The tower of Babel symbolises the dissolution of a common language. That's essentially what this song is about. Interesting that your question would open this subject.

[@quinnivens5008]

Dit is toch gwn een vertraagde versie ?

[@novabrabantia]

Nope. Dit is eigenlijk de originele snelheid.

[@dudefrombelgium]

FUCK COMMUNISME AND FUCK STALIN

A Felipe II no le gusta esta canción

[@matwiw]

I hate this version, it is VERY slow

[@novabrabantia]

There is one other version wich is just the same but sped up. This is the original. If you want to get the same result, you can set the video to 1.25x speed🙃

@@novabrabantia i love the live verison
