    Lyrics (mix of Occitan and French):

    Auvetz la mòrt que ròtla, que ròtla alentorn de nos
    El’ es coma nòstr’ ombr’, nòstr’ ombra que nos sec pertot.
    Vous les gens que setz endurmits, Oh ! la grande grande folie
    Que de dormir sans soucis !
    Réveillez-vous, Oh la grande folie,
    Réveillez-vous, vos que setz endurmits !

    Hear death as it roams, as it roams around us
    Just like our shadow, following us everywhere.
    You, the people who are sleeping, Oh ! What pure madness
    To sleep without a worry !
    Wake-up, Oh, what pure madness,
    Wake-up, you who are sleeping !

    That took quite a while to properly build up to something (almost 2 min) but once it did, goddamn, that was enthralling. I know what I will be meditating to later today, their full performance....

    p.s. They remind me of another of my favorite folk bands Joculatores Upsalienses, who also sing medieval choral music/chants.

      Cool song too, I really like singers that just sing out loud instead of mumbling into a mic or doing all kind of mannerisms, it's quite refreshing. It's not a vocal style that is very common...
