🤷 Don’t know what they were saying in the non-English versions and yet, I liked them. 😃

Thanks for sharing them!

I don’t understand the language either. I was hoping we’d get someone responding who does.

Someone posted a link to this video on their Facebook. (You have to let it go along for a bit, 1:15, before you’ll get to the prayer.) I’m a baba but I really like it. I love all the images. 🙂

Are they Polish? Who can tell me more about the band?
Another interesting video. They seem to be a hit with the young folks. 🙂

Definitely not Polish. Zmiluj sa would be “Zmiłuj sie” in Polish. Looking at their website, I think they’re from Slovakia or the Czech Republic. The language they write in is very similar to Polish, which would point to one of those nations.

edit: Just noticed that their myspace says they’re from Slovakia. Guess that answers that.
 
The language is probably Old Church Slavonic and it says “Old Slavonic” under one of the videos. It does sound oddly similar to modern Polish in terms of flow, phonetics and overall diction, as opposed to what I’d have expected Old Slavonic to sound like. I’m guessing these are examples of the Old Slavonic rite of Saints Cyrill and Methodius, instituted around the end of 9th or beginning of 10th century but I’m no expert.

Hmm… according to wiki, Slovak should be the most similar Slavic language to Polish in terms of phonetics, so maybe that’s why.

It’s definitely Slovak. I speak Polish, and this is way too similar to be Old Church Slavonic. That, and it sounds like Slovak, which I have experienced before.
