The play by Peter Weiss titled The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, as performed by the inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the direction of the Marquis de Sade, or Marat/Sade for short, is a fictional account of Sade directing a play in Charenton, where he was confined for many years.

Quan en un jardí d'amor neix una divina flor, d'una ro, ro, ro, d'una sa, sa, sa, d'una ro, d'una sa, d'una rosa bella, fecunda i poncella. El primer pare causà la nit tenebrosa que a tot el món ofuscà la vista penosa; mes, en una mitjanit, brilla el sol que n'és eixit d'una be, be, be, d'una lla, lla, lla, d'una be, d'una lla, d'una bella aurora que el cel enamora. El mes de maig ha florit, sense ser encara, un lliri blanc tot polit de fragància rara, que per tot el món se sent, de Llevant fins a Ponent, tota sa, sa, sa, tota dul, dul, dul, tota sa, tota dul, tota sa dulçura i olor, amb ventura. Arribaren els tres reis amb molta alegria, adorant el rei del cel en una establia. Oferint-li tres presents, com són or, mirra i encens. A la Ma, Ma, Ma, a la re, re, re, a la Ma, a la re, a la Mare pia, la Verge Maria. Amb contentament i amor celebrem el dia, en què el diví Senyor neix amb alegria. Si no tenim més tresor oferim-li nostre cor, que és la gran, gran, gran que és la fi, fi, fi que és la gran, que és la fi, que és la gran finesa de nostra pobresa. FROZEN DECEMBER Frozen December, Sorry, withdraws. The whole world admires April, crowned with flowers, When in a garden of love A divine flower is born, Of a ro-, ro-, ro-, Of a -se, -se, -se, Of a ro-, of a -se, Of a beautiful rose, Fecund and virgin. The first father caused The dark night That overshadowed the painful sight Of the whole world; But, one midnight, The sun shines that came out Of a beauti-, beauti-, beauti-, Of a -ful, -ful, -ful, Of a beauti-, of a -ful, Of a beautiful dawn That the sky falls in love with. The month of May has blossomed, Without being yet A white lily all well groomed With a rare fragrance, That can be felt throughout the world, From the East to the West, All its, its, its, All sweet-, sweet-, sweet-, All its, all sweet-, All its sweetness And smell, hopefully. The three kings arrived With great joy, Worshiping the king of heaven In a cowshed Offering him three presents, Such as gold, myrrh, and frankincense. To the Mo-, Mo-, Mo-, To the -ther, -ther, -ther, To the Mo-, to the -ther, To the pious Mother, the Virgin Mary. With joy and love Let's celebrate the day In which the divine Lord Was born with joy If we have no other treasure Let's give him our hearts, Which is the great, great, great, That's the re-, re-, re- Which is the great, which is the re-, Which is the great refinement Of our poverty.

Subject: RE: Any December Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 31 Dec 22 - 01:12 AM 31 December 1720: Charles Edward Stuart – Bonnie Prince Charlie, the “Young Pretender” – was born in Rome. As leader of the Scottish Jacobites, he attempted to depose George II, but was finally defeated at Culloden. THE BLACKBIRD The first broadside versions of this song date to 1650, obviously referring to Charles II, who was then in exile. It wasn't safe to refer to him by name, so the allegorical "blackbird" was used. It seems also to have been used of James II, and perhaps also to his son James III. However, the title came to be most strongly associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie. After the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, the same situation arose as in 1650. It was generally not safe to speak of Charlie, so the Jacobites adopted various circumlocutions -- the "blackbird," the "moorhen," or simply "Somebody."
Moira Craig sang FLORA McDONALD’S LAMENT on her 2000 album On ae Bonny Day. She noted: The Steeleye Span version of this, PRINCE CHARLIE STUART, was one of the first songs I sang in public...it was only part of a Jacobite song Flora McDonald's Lament. It was found by John Moulden in the Kidson Collection in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, not far from where I first sang it. |
