De Jagt -- [Brabantian folk song] -- (With English lyrics)

History:
De jagt, or "the hunt" in English, is a Brabantian medieval folk song about a man asking his sister to come hunt with him outside the city. The melody of the song is originally French.
Brabant used to be a duchy in the center part of the low countries (Netherlands, belgium, Luxembourg) and was one of the wealthy in the region. This wealth came mostly from the port of Antwerp wich was used as a staple port for Western Europe. Brabant being in the vicinity of the lucrative Flemish cloth producing cities like Ghent and Brugge, made Antwerp and Brabant a very well positioned region for trade. Nowadays, the area that used to be the duchy of Brabant is split between Belgium and the Netherlands. The song is sang by a Belgian band in old Brabantic.
