Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 17 Dec 99 - 05:08 PM That's a lovely one, Anon- I don't know it. My Latin is a bit shaky- what's the translation? Allison |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 17 Dec 99 - 07:39 PM Hee's one from Quebec.
D'ou viens-tu, bergere,
Qu'as tu vu, bergere,
Rien de plus bergere,
Rien de plus bergere,
Rien de plus bergere,
There should be various accents on this, but I can't do them easily. And there's a tune, which I could email to you if you want it. |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Dave Date: 17 Dec 99 - 07:51 PM I have been searching for the words to a French Carol. Perhaps someone here would be kind enough to post them for me? "Il est ne' le divin enfant" (even my sons French teacher could not find them for me) I do love Christmas Carols. Thank you in anticipation of the favour of a reply. Dave |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 17 Dec 99 - 08:07 PM Here you are - surely it can't be a French French teacher? It'd be like not knowing "Away in a Manger" for a teacher in an English speaking country. (Or am I being naive about teachers these days?):
Il est ne, le divin enfant
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans
Une etable est son logement
Ah! Qu'il est beau! qu'il est charmant!
O Jesus, o Roi tout-puissant
Il est ne, le divin enfant

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Thank You And Merry Christmas Date: 17 Dec 99 - 11:49 PM Teachers are "so busy" and probably would not have time to be as courteous and kind as the Mudcatters. Thank you my family and I love this carol, but could not get the words; and we hate singing in "Franglais" (even asked our Quebec friends who were raised French Canadians but they could not find it) Joyeux Noel mes amis.

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: stonejohn Date: 18 Jan 00 - 04:30 PM Now that we're out from beneath Christmas' crushing load, I thought I might refresh this one. Thanks for the answers so far, especially McGrath and the anonymous Latin scholar. Am having fun translating that. Anyone else? Thanks for your time Love and Peace, s. |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Clinton Hammond2 Date: 18 Jan 00 - 04:53 PM Well... I'm kinda partial to Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow from Jethro Tull.... Is that human enough? Lemme see if I can remember this one....
Jack Frost And The Hooded Crow Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
Now as the last broad oak leaf falls, we beg: consider this:
As holly pricks and ivy clings, your fate is none too clear. I'll see if I can thnk of any others.... |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: GUEST,rob d. (robd@lanl.gov) Date: 21 Jan 00 - 10:49 AM It has been my intention for some time to put together a tape of what, for want of a better description, I was calling Not-quite-Christmas songs. "Human" is probably more accurate, though it lacks pizazz. Although this may not be exactly what you are looking for, but, here are a few that I have slated for the collection:
Any others along these lines?

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Clinton Hammond2 Date: 21 Jan 00 - 03:34 PM So... songs sorta about Christmas without being from K-tel eh?!? Well.. let's look into the Tickle Trunk here and see what I can dig up... 3 more from Tull A Christmas Song (Living In The Past) Another Christmas Song (Rock Island) Solstice Bells (Songs From The Wood) Dram To Warm The Piper by Danny Carnahan(sp?) is a great Newy Years Ever tune... At Last I'm Ready For Christmas by Stan Rogers, I think is gonna become a standard of mine for Boxing Day gigs... Bowser & Blue had some really funny stuff on thier X-as special this year, "2 nust Roasting On An Open Fire" Like Kevin "Bloody" Wison's "Hey Santa! Where's My F#kin' Bike?".... Woudln't Leonard Cohens "Famous Blue Raincoat" be an X-masy song?? Miss Fogartys Christmas Cake is nearly always good for a laugh, especially in July! My song "Come In And Know Me Better Man" is ummm... "Seasonally Inspired"... at least that's what I tell people... That's it for now.. fell free to email me and I can help ya find these tunes I guess... |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Helen Date: 21 Jan 00 - 04:55 PM What about The Pogues, Fairytale of New York: It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank... etc Clinton, thanks for the references to Jethro Tull Christmas songs - I remember hearing one about 25 years ago and I have been trying to remember the words and tune and trying to find it on the JT albums my hubby has. All I remember about it was: when you are sitting down at your Christmas dinner think of the people who don't have a dinner to sit down to. Helen |

Subject: RE: Human Christmas From: Clinton Hammond2 Date: 22 Jan 00 - 11:48 AM Helen... Looking for Tull Lyrics, look no further than The Cup Of Wonder A great site for lyrics with annotations and such... Happy Hunting... I think the tune you're looking for is "A Christmas Song" on Living In The Past... Hey Santa, pass us that bottle will ya... ;-) |
