The song (and others) is finally up on Spotify, Deezer and KZfaq Music. I'm also trying to get it up onto Apple Music (and a few others)!

When the pub gets a little wild and mary shows her ankles

“Peasant boy, trust mine intuition and mine hips, for they lie not.”

It's honestly astounding how much this song sounds more appropriate in a medieval style than in a modern variant.

Well, we already knew Shakira doesn't age, but I never thought she was THAT old

“Mine Hips Shall Not Bear False Witness”

We used to dance to this in the club in 600AD. I miss those days.

In days of yore, where castles stood, A tale of hips, both strong and good, Fair maiden moves with ancient grace, Her hips a dance, a poet's embrace. Chorus: Hips that sway in candlelight, A bard's delight, a wondrous sight, In medieval halls they gleam, Her hips, a mesmerizing dream. Through meadows green and forests deep, Her hips in rhythms, secrets keep, With every step, a saga told, In verses bright, in rhymes of gold. Chorus: Hips that sway in candlelight, A bard's delight, a wondrous sight, In medieval halls they gleam, Her hips, a mesmerizing dream. Beneath the moon, by starry streams, Her hips inspire the sweetest dreams, In troubadour's enchanting lore, Her hips, a song forevermore. Chorus: Hips that sway in candlelight, A bard's delight, a wondrous sight, In medieval halls they gleam, Her hips, a mesmerizing dream. So ends this tale of hips divine, In bardic verses, they entwine, A timeless dance, a lullaby, In echoes of a medieval sky.

The flute is everything

I feel so nostalgic hearing this, good old days when our single concern was about being burned to death, tied on a shaft, falsely accused of witchcraft

“Thy ankles shan’t lie” - Shakira 1430

This melody consistently manages to rouse the saucy harlot within me.

I love this pre-pandemic hits. 1340´s were rough years

this fair maiden makes a peasant want to learn latin

who else has got this recommended 700 years later

I miss the days of Shack Eirah, Lady Brittany of Spearce and thy children of destiny 😢

I remember it clearly...I was 13 and it was my first time at our local tavern with my brother. Some bathers played this piece. the whole tavern turned into a never-before-seen dance floor. It became one of the greatest and most well-known songs of the 13th century. Today, many hundreds of years later, a young Colombian woman sings to this melody and also makes me feel good. But happy to re-hear this old original version. How nostalgic...

"Mine childbearing hips doeth not tell falsehoods!"

Performing a sensual dance to distract his majesty while mine homegirl slips poison into his chalice.

Jokes aside, I just love how the song sounds so cheerful in both version and makes you feel better.

Heard this song after 700 years. Ahh Those good old days.

1347 - stay at home to avoid the plague 2020 - stay at home to avoid the plague ironically, the music is the same

"dear! is there a storm brewing outside?!" "Nay, tis that next door maiden flaunting her ankles again! the deviant!"

This is really one of the best instrumentals of this fabulous song. Literally not a single beat is missed.

remember it as if it was yesterday. I heard the song for the first time in the market square during an execution. All the screams and the cool beat went well together, I'm still on the vibe. In 1280 I had the time of my life. Then I died of typhus, I became very old, almost 24. I am happy that after my reincarnation I can hear the songs of my youth again. Thank you 😅

*Me:* might I request thou passeth the aux cord? *Minstrel:* thou hadst better not play something unpleasant Me:

Only 1000's kids will remember this

This unironically slaps so hard

Plague Doctor: You have 3 minutes left to live. Me: *Listens to this* Plague Doctor: Wait, that's 3:31 mi-- Rat: I'll allow it.

Shakira: "i admire thou, my Knight" Shakiras hips: "no, she doth not" Shakira: "thou be damned, hips."

jokes aside, imagine how cool this music would be for the medieval people

Imagine the bards playing this literally in the 1400s tavern…. People would completely be mesmerized by the rhythm and melody. Obviously they’d be puzzled by the unfamiliar notes of it but will start to love it…. Probably declare it the music from the heavens. This music would have become so popular that it would make it to the castles of kings and queens they would listen to it every day! And than one day people will realize that the bards were actually time travelers gone into the future and came with the music of the 20th century! What a tale it would be……

Ankles don’t lie. A masterpiece

Funny how Shakespeare hasn't released anything after this song came out

“Oh infant when thou speak like that..thou makes a maiden go insane”

Back in 1472 I foolishly struck a deal with a fae that I would be granted faelike immortality until this song becomes popular again... I lived through the centuries seeing many styles of music come and go, and especially music from the 15th century become utterly forgotten and honestly thought I'd be safe from the fae's bargain... But like any man who dares to bargain with the fae I was an utter fool as I realized when I heard this song being played again! And now... I am seeing gray hairs in my head and wrinkles appear in my eyes! My time appears to have come at last....

Sometimes the magic of existance in this universe reveals itself beyond the dreary darkness. This was one if those moments. 🌻

So many people are showing their ANKLES! HAVE SOME DECENCY PEOPLE!

“ankles don’t lie” by shakespeara

I had tickets for a Skakira show in the 1340s......but than that damn Plague came and the taverns were closed.

This is one of the few times where someone gets the medieval style right! 100% A+++

"Thy bones of the pelvis sway ever so gracefully, I doeth not spread falsehood, foolish man!"

Makes me want to show my ankles to the blacksmith's son

I came here from a tik-tok post saying that owners of the account used this song in their final project, because their teacher only listens to 16th century music. I was definitely not disappointed by the full version.

Imagine yourself as a king or queen sitting in the throne room listening to this. Room full of medieval people, belly dancers, guests, musicians, servants, guards listening to this grand performance. 😁

1420: "we shall have a feast after the plague" 2020: "we shall have a feast after the plague no cap"

Nobody born in the 00’s understands the beauty of this music. The 1490’s were the best years to grow up in. Miley Osiris, Babylonce, Shakirspear, the list goes on

This rlly takes me back to my middle school days... in the 1430s....

this one really works for the medieval style though!

"Thy child-bearing hips shan't bear falsities"

When the fair maiden shakira showed a pieceth of her leg, the moors immediately began the learningth of castilian

Are you telling me this song hasn't always sounded like this

My village danced to this to celebrate that we all made it through the winter

I used to play this song in the wagon in hopes that m’lady would show me her handkerchief and spare a crumb of ankle

Ah this song makes me wanna show my ankles.

*Moves hips historically

My goodness this is beautiful.

this was the song in the parade after my sister was hung for being a witch.

THIS is why all those people in France dropped dead from dancing

Biblically accurated Shakira

We danced around a Maypole to this at our wedding last week

*_what should've played when Flynn Rider and Rapunzel were dancing at the castle celebration thing_*

I didn’t know thy hips can commit the sin of lying.

This brought a tear to my eye, too beautiful!

When the maiden shows some shoulder

Not a cellphone in sight. Just people living in the moment.

Her mead ale brings all the squires to the yard.

Only 1200' kids will remember

This song slaps more than it has any right to.

Someone on Instagram said “might act up and show a little ankle to this song🥴” dkmmm 😭😭😭

Forgive me Lord, lust has taken control of me; I'm tempted show my shoulders on this fair evening

This song slaps harder then my mom’s slipper

''My Ankles Doth No Lie'' - Lady Shakira

After 700 years this shit still slaps 🥶🥵

I like my wine like I like my medieval cities. Fortified.

I love to read comments under any bardcore song

Proof that music never ages. ❤️

*twerks in 50 pounds of heavy medieval armour*

This is absolute gold but the comments are the real winner here.

I played this while I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 and it's been such an extra delight lol 😄 highly recommend

This helped me through the black plague pandemics. ❤

TikTok : When you say "very well" instead of "ok" "Shakespeara Shakespeara" ✨🎶

The humor of our generation is out of this world😂😂😂

Ok but why is it so good ???

the Renaissance Festival is about to be crazy

This used to play in the bazaar while I shopped for herbs for the full moon.

I miss dancing this with Monalisa when she was still single

This version is legendary 🔥🔥🔥

This is way better than it has any right to be. Seriously, why do I prefer these over the originals.

I came here for the meme but literally jamming to the instrumental. Actually beautiful.

Ah a masterpiece of musical talent. Thy work be great and thyne doth deserve larger quantities of viewership.

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!

Forgive me father, I want to shake my pelvis back and forth.

"She makes a man wanna speak Latin"

Just discovered this the other day... Playing it pretty much on loop non-stop.😂 *Absolutely brilliant* Thank you so much!🔥🔥

The reason this song sounds "medieval" is because the instrumental is sampled from another piece called "Amores como el Nuestro" by Jerry Rivera, a salsa from the 90s. In it, the singer laments that relationships between nowadays they have become too carnal and banal, implying that the loves he dreams of are like those of knights with their damsels in the past: eternal, delicate, and like unicorns, fleeting. Precisely, the producer wanted to give it an air of medieval romance, and for this reason a wind section can be heard at the beginning that reminds us of the works of the 12th century. PS: Sorry if you find errors in what I wrote. English is not my mother tongue and I'm using a translator, hehehe...

*medieval twerking * okay wait 7 months later I need to edit this I can't believe I used the ______ twerking comments before they were cool I'm adding this to my resume

“What sort of music you into?” It’s complicated...
