[gothic-l] Gothic Songs

[yeshua666]

Have a look at this site advertising a CD of songs in Gothic and Old
High German (including a musical rendition of the *Hildibrandslied*:

Samples of the songs can be down loaded here:

And the lyrics can be found here:

Could anyone make an attempt at translations of the lyrics?  I'd be
interested to know what this one means:

"Jah quth duim"

Jah quth duim: ibai Lukarin quimith

duthei uf melan satjaidau aiththau undar ligr?

Niu ei ana lukar nastathan satjaidau?

Nih allis ist chva fulginis thatei ni gabairhtjaidau:

Nih warth ana laugn, ak ei swikunth wairthai.

Jabai chvas habai ausona haus jandona, gehausjai.

Jah qath du im: saichvith, chva hauseith!

In thizaiei mitath mitith, mitada izwis jah biaukanda

izwis thaim galaubujandam. Unte thischvammeh saei

habaith gibada imma; jah sei ni habaith

jah thatei habaith afnimada imma.

Cheers,

Tim O'Neill
