Thread Name: Tune Req: Anne Madam (norsk chantey)
Subject: Tune Req: Anne Madam (norsk sjanti)
Today I ran into an Esperanto song text I'd not seen before, a translation of what was described as a Norwegian seamen's worksong from Bergen, entitled "Anne Madam".

Google takes me here where I can see the first few bars of the tune (on the first page) and the Norwegian text on the second. The tune as far as it goes looks an awful lot like "Blow the man down", so I'm asking, is the tune the same, and if not how does it differ? Also, is there an English version of the text?
