GUEST,Phil d'Conch Maritime work song in general (729* d) RE: Maritime work song in general 16 Jan 24


“RUMBELOW. A very favorite burden to an ancient sea-song. The burden of the Cornwall furry-day song is, “With halantow rumbelow.””
[A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the Fourteenth Century, vol.2, Halliwell-Phillipps, 1860]


CANT DELS MARINERS.

        Lo nostramo.
De botas , sachs y balas
Veniu l' estiba á umplir.
Lo vent remou sas alas
Cridantnos per sortir.
        ¡Ohió, hó!
        Lo mariner d' Espanya
        N' es lo milió.

        Los mariners.
Mentres que traqueteja
Lo cabrestant,
L' àncora que forceja
Se vá aixecant,
        ¡Ohió, hó!
        Lo mariner d' Espanya
        N' es lo milió.

        Lo nostramo.
Quant l'equinocci esquinse
Los arbres y las lonas,
Y perdem tras las onas
Los cims de Montserrat;
No amayneu l' esperansa,
Traballeu nit y dia;
Qui fa de Dèu la via
A Dèu ha de ser grat.
        ¡Ohió, hó!
        Lo mariner d' Espanya
        N' es lo milió.

        Los mariners.
D'Espanya son riquesa
Nostres perills,
Y tenim per noblesa
Esser sos fills.
        ¡Ohió, hó!
        Lo mariner d' Espanya
        N' es lo milió.”
[Jochs Florals de Barcelona, 1861]
