  • Hayley Westenra's cover of this classic Advent hymn (in Latin and English).
    I absolutely love this song, and was happy this morning so thought I would make a little compilation in time for Christmas - as much as to learn the Latin lyrics as anything else! :D Oh, but I should mention that the English lyrics are my own literal translation. I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the Latin. The English lyrics to the most-common English version can be found here though: www.carols.org.uk/o_come_come_...
    I really hope you enjoy this, and Merry Christmas everyone!! x Ben
    P.S: Arghhh!! Just spotted two typos!! At 1:14, it should read 'Dirasque noctis nEbulas' and at 2:02 the line is 'Regna reclude cAElica'!!
    Never work tired. Especially if you're a perfectionist.

      The only thing I don't like (if that's even possible because of its extreme beauty), is the phrasing.
      It seems all wrong.
      So many times I want the singer to pause (or tie) for a crotchet, and then proceed. E.g. "Qui ge-mit in ex-ilio-", as opposed to "Qui gemit in Exi-ilio"
      It seems like what was meant for this sublime hymn was lost, like some children had accidentally found it and just 'went for it', and then all the World copied what they'd done without ever thinking.

      It is actually sung every (or nearly every) advent in traditional Christian churches, but sadly American Evangelicalism has, for the most part, done away with advent and traditional hymns in favor of CCM "worship songs."

    I'm an atheist, and heard this tune for the first time at a Border's bookstore many years ago. I immediately turned to the counter and asked the staff what the song is, as I wanted to buy the CD (yes, those were the days). But there was already another lady with the same question, and before we could be help, a second lady stopped by with the same question!

    One thing I especially appreciate about the original Latin text is that in the stanza about Moses & Israel @ Sinai it actually uses the name "Adonai" for God.

    • @VictorLepanto
      @VictorLepanto 8 років тому

      +Brian Rackley I am familiar w/ that, thank you. Still, it is especially fitting to reference "Adonai" in the context of a passage about the giving of the law @ Sinai.
      I heard them sing "Come Oh Come Emmanuel" for the 1st time this year, today @ Mass.

    I'm Brazilian. My languange, Portuguese, is technically still Latin; vulgar Latin, which, because of one Portuguese king in Portugal, began to be called 'Portuguese.' The king changed the name, but not the language, so it is still vulgar Latin to this day, technically speaking. In today's terms, Portuguese is informal Latin.
    For example, I can translate some of these Latin phrases to Portuguese and it still looks very similar.
    "Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel" - Latin
    "Emmanuel nasceu por te, Israel" - Portuguese
    "Veni, veni, Emmanuel" - Latin
    "Vem, vem, Emmanuel" - Portuguese
    "Qui gemit in exilio" - Latin
    "Que geme em exilio" - Portuguese
    Yes! These Portuguese words that I used are common words used daily in Brazil.
    It is amazing for me to see that medieval Latin is still very similar to Portuguese, which is just informal Latin, technically speaking.

    Very lovely! Just one little corrective point: Veni Veni Emmanuel is not a Christmas hymn. It is an Advent hymn. Advent is the season, which emphasizes the hope and expectation of the coming of the Lord in ancient Israel and the Church. Advent consists of the 4 Sundays before the feast of Christmas.
