Subject: Whitsun From: Felipa Date: 17 May 21 - 03:28 PM Whitsun is celebrated about 7 weeks after Easter, so it's also a moveable feast. I would say Whitsun is mainly associated with June. But this year it falls in May. So for now we can consider songs like the Whitsun Carol and Dancing at Whitson (both in the Digital Tradition database) and Maidín Luan Cincise (a patriotic song in Irish Gaelic, "On Whit Monday Morning") at https://songsinirish.com/maidin-luain-chincise-lyrics/ but I'll put it in Mudcat later with translation and a bit of info. I don't know what date Whit Monday fell in 1798, however. |

In Allerseelen, a lover uses the mood of that day to relive a love affair that has long since passed.[in May] Stell auf den Tisch die duftenden Reseden, Die letzten roten Astern trag herbei, Und laß uns wieder von der Liebe reden, Wie einst im Mai. Gib mir die Hand, daß ich sie heimlich drücke Und wenn man's sieht, mir ist es einerlei, Gib mir nur einen deiner süßen Blicke, Wie einst im Mai. Es blüht und duftet heut auf jedem Grabe, Ein Tag im Jahr ist ya denToten frei, Komm an mein Herz, daß ich dich wieder habe, Wie einst im Mai. Translation Put on the table the fragrant mignonettes, carry the last red astors here, and let us again talk of love like once in May. Give me your hand, that I may secretly press it, And if anyone sees it, it makes on difference to me, give me only one of your sweet glances like once in May. Today it blossoms and smells sweet on each grave one day in the year indeed the dead are free, come to my heart, that I have you again, like once in May |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GerryM Date: 08 May 21 - 08:38 AM MERA MAGIOU Mera Magioú (A Day in May), lyrics by Yannis Ritsos, music by Mikis Theodorakis. Here is a recording. Liner notes to the CD, From Greece With Love, give the lyrics, in English translation, as You went away on a day in May, my son; I lost you in the Spring which you loved so much. You went up onto the terrace And greedily drank the daylight with your eyes. You told me about the great world In your sweet, manly voice, And you promised me that one day It would belong to both of us. But now you have been extinguished, And my light has been extinguished, too. |
