Subject: RE: LyrReq: Sing me a Shanty
I would like to hear "Carrying Nelson Home". It's new to me, and I love the lyrics. I can't comment on the Spanish words, but the French line in the chorus, as quoted above, doesn't look right. The English translation would be "sing about the sailors of the Nile", and the French should be "chanter des marins (not marines) du (not de) Nil (no 'e' on the end, and pronounced 'neel' rather than 'neeluh').

Are there any recordings out there?
