Subject: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 23 Jan 21 - 05:09 AM Hi everybody, I've thought it'd be useful to have a thread with the lyrics and translations of the songs in other languages sung on Monday's singarounds so that we all can share. I've made a list of the different songs Gerry has gathered on the Worldwide Singaround thread + the ones I've sung but are not listed. I wish that all those who sang in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Czech, Polish and I don't remember what else post the original lyrics and a translation (all I can manage is Romance languages except Romanian) and I'll deal with the tables, links and all this stuff. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat singaround Irish & Scottish Gaelic From: Felipa Date: 23 Jan 21 - 05:15 PM Did someone actually sing A Stór mo Chroí in Irish. There is an Irish translation of the song, but the original was written in English with just the phrase "A Stór mo Chroí" (yo, treasure of my heart) in English. The Quiet Land of Erin is a translation in the other direction, from Irish to English. Irish Gaelic language words are already posted on Mudcat https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=10469#2967732
2.literally; from the soil 3.or their heart's desire; literally: their eyes' wish 4.literally: to be given love and our honour.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 24 Jan 21 - 03:09 AM "Romance de la luna, luna" is a poem written by Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) in 1928. Paco Ibañez (1934- ) put some of his poems in music, editing them if need be to match the tune.
Here is the original poem by García Lorca La luna vino a la fragua con su polisón de nardos. El niño la mira mira. El niño la está mirando. En el aire conmovido mueve la luna sus brazos y enseña, lúbrica y pura, sus senos de duro estaño. Huye luna, luna, luna. Si vinieran los gitanos, harían con tu corazón collares y anillos blancos. Niño déjame que baile. Cuando vengan los gitanos, te encontrarán sobre el yunque con los ojillos cerrados. Huye luna, luna, luna, que ya siento sus caballos. Niño déjame, no pises, mi blancor almidonado. El jinete se acercaba tocando el tambor del llano. Dentro de la fragua el niño, tiene los ojos cerrados. Por el olivar venían, bronce y sueño, los gitanos. Las cabezas levantadas y los ojos entornados. ¡Cómo canta la zumaya, ay como canta en el árbol! Por el cielo va la luna con el niño de la mano. Dentro de la fragua lloran, dando gritos, los gitanos. El aire la vela, vela. el aire la está velando. Here are some English translations. I'd translate the missing verse "Por el olivar...ojos entornados" as... Through the olive grove The gypsies were coming, Bronze and dreaming, Heads lifted and eyes half-closed.

He lived in Trawsfynydd and died at the Battle of Pilkem Ridge in 1917, aged 30. A week later he was announced winner of the Bardic Chair at the National Eisteddfod, and a black cloth was draped over his chair in his honour. Hedd Wyn (Wikipedia article)

Transliteration (not pronunciation!!!) METELITSA
French Wiki entry about the song reads (Translated by Google)... "...it's a Russian folk song from the late 18th century. The music dates from the 1840's by Alexander Varlamov. The lyrics of the song were first published in 1790 under the name 'What Boredom, Mother, to Spend Spring Alone' (Скучно, матушка, весной мне жить одной in Russian). In 1817, the poet Dimitri Glebov [Дмитрий Глебов 1789-1843, (link in Russian only)] reworked them somewhat, and republished them under the name 'How Boring, Mother, To Live as a Lonely Heart' (in Russian Скучно, матушка, мне сердцем жить одной). After the text was set to music in 1842, various versions followed, close to varying degrees to that of Glebov. The Metelitsa appears in the repertoire of many artists, including Yossif Kobzon, Sergei Lemechev, Anna German and the Red Army Choir." Back to Index

You can listen to a nice recording here, to another there… There are more -(but I wouldn't say "everywhere"). Bernat de Ventadorn (or Bernart de Ventadorn or French 'Bernard de Ventadour') is our greatest and best known troubadour. Wiki entry about the song Note that troubadours' songs didn't reach us by any folk process, they've been "buried" for centuries and were "exhumed" by scholars only a few decades ago. They weren't folk songs. There were 3 styles of songs: "trobar lèu" (light form) accessible to anyone, "trobar ric" (rich form) accessible to more literate people and "trobar clus" (closed form), complex and obscure, you needed to belong to the elite to access it.

Here is Odysséas Elýtis's full poem. Only the 1st, 4th and last verses can be sung to the tune. I don't have a reliable translation so far. Με το λύχνο του άστρου στους ουρανούς εβγήκα Στο αγιάζι των λειμώνων στη μόνη ακτή του κόσμου Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ Λυπημένες μυρσίνες ασημωμένες ύπνο Μου ράντισαν την όψη φυσώ και μόνος πάω Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ! Οδηγέ των ακτίνων και των κοιτώνων Μάγε Αγύρτη που γνωρίζεις το μέλλον μίλησέ μου Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ! Τα κορίτσια μου πένθος για τους αιώνες έχουν Τ’αγόρια μου τουφέκια κρατούν και δεν κατέχουν Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ! Εκατόγχειρες νύχτες μες στο στερέωμα όλο Τα σπλάχνα μου αναδεύουν αυτός ο πόνος καίει Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ! Με το λύχνο του άστρου στους ουρανούς γυρίζω Στο αγιάζι των λειμώνων στη μόνη ακτή του κόσμου Που να βρω τη ψυχή μου το τετράφυλλο δάκρυ! 2022/10/19 UPDATE: Mikis Theodorakis passed away on Sept 2nd 2021.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: GerryM Date: 12 Apr 21 - 11:30 PM Teresa and I sang "Eli, Eli" at the singaround today, also known as "Halicha L'Kesariya", which is Hebrew for "A Walk to Caesarea". A poem by Hannah Senesh (1921-1944), set to music by David Zehavi (1910- 1977). Borrowed from this blog: The poem of 14 words and six lines was written in Hebrew by Hannah Senesh, at Sdot Yam, Caesarea, on November 24, 1942, as a prayer to God—a prayer with overtones of Psalm 22. The poem was set to music by David Zehavi in 1945, after Hannah Senesh’s death by a German firing squad on November 7, 1944. She was 23.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 19 Apr 21 - 02:22 PM This song is the 7th piece of the "Cantata de Santa María de Iquique" that Luis Advis (1935-2004) composed for the group Quilapayún. The theme of the cantata is a historical industrial dispute that ended with the massacre of miners in the northern Chilean city of Iquique in 1907. The work was premiered in July 1970 and recorded about 2 months later. The master tapes were destroyed during the coup and the work was recorded again in 1978. The Cantata is structured in eighteen parts, which include five stories without music, a prelude and three interludes with music only, two announcements and seven songs, whose rhythms and instrumentalization vary notably to emphasize the theme treated in each song.
Live rendition 1981, soloist Guillermo García Live rendition 1997, soloist Guillermo García Live rendition 2003, soloist Guillermo García Live rendition Dos Cantatas - Teatro Caupolicán - 25.05.2017 Soloist: Rubén Escudero (the song starts at 1:25) The background and the lyrics of the whole work can be found in this PDF (all in Spanish).

As sung by La Meute Rieuse , as sung by La Mal Coiffée , as sung by Dubartàs , as sung by Chœur occitan Rosamonda, Gérard Zuchetto Here is a version of the song in the Gascon dialect of Occitan:
*"lo cap de l'an" (lit. the head of the year) can be understood as "New Year" but also as "the end of the year" (at the end of your 1st year of marriage) **In this version as in the one above, it's hard to tell if "mal cofada" means that she/they won't keep her/their hair well combed/tidy or if her/their coif won't be put properly. In Òc as in French "cofada/coiffée" can be about hair or about a coif. Here is a slightly different version:

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: leeneia Date: 11 May 21 - 11:48 AM Here are the lyrics to 'Wie Lieblich ist der Maien', which I sang May 3rd. The melody is from 1575, and the words 1604. There are some lines I didn't understand, so I didn't even try to translate them. WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN 1. Wie lieblich ist der Maien aus lauter Gottesgüt, des sich die Menschen freuen, weil alles grünt und blüht! Die Tier sieht man jetzt springen mit Lust auf grüner Weid, die Vöglein hört man singen, die loben Gott mit Freud. ====================== How lovely is May by God's goodness. People rejoice while everything turns green and blossoms. We see the animals springing with joy over green meadows. We hear the birds sing, who praise God with joy. 2. Herr, dir sei Lob und Ehre für solche Gaben Dein. Die Blüt zur Frucht vermehre,lass sie ersprießlich sein. Es steht in Deinen Händen,Dein Macht und Güt ist groß, drum wollst Du von uns wenden Mehltau, Frost, Reif und Schloss. ============================ Lord, to Thee be praise and honor for such gifts. The blossoms proceed to fruit, ------------------ It's in your hands, your power and goodness are great. 3. Herr, lass die Sonne blicken ins finstre Herze mein, damit sich’s möge schicken,fröhlich im Geist zu sein, die größte Lust zu haben allein an Deinem Wort, das mich im Kreuz kann laben und weist des Himmels Pfort. ============================= Lord, let the sun shine into my dark heart that I may become happy in spirit, that the cross might cleanse me and show me heaven. 4. Mein Arbeit hilf vollbringen und lob dem Namen Dein, und lass mir wohl gelingen, im Geist fruchtbar zu sein; die Blümlein lass aufgehen von Tugend mancherlei, damit ich mög bestehen und nicht verwerflich sei. =================== Help my work to succeed and to honor your name and let me be fruitful in spirit.

*It's a game of words, for "stones in the hand" may also mean agressivity. **When the artist says "cantador" he doesn't mean an ordinary professional singer, but a traditional profession from the Northeast of the country, when men sing lines as they compose it, and usually defy each other, like some kind of rap battle. The cantadores also have social prestige, and have some mystical air around them. The translation and notes by Julia Alvares have been borrowed from Lyricstranslate.com.

(1) pun between "peau" (skin) and "pot" luck, "manque de pot" (lack of luck) and "manque de peau" (lack of skin [color]). Btw, "pot" is old slang for bum as was "bol" (bowl). (2) "Se fendre la poire", meaning "to split one sides laughing", literally translates as "to split one's 'pear'", "pear" being slang for head, face… hence all his teeth showing out. (3) "Broyer du noir", meaning "to brood", "to be blue/sad", literally translates as "to grind black" (4) Lit. "What a story" but in French "histoire" is both "story" and "history", so "be it written..." refers to both meanings. (5)"On voit surtout du rouge, du rouge, / Sang, sang, sans trêve ni repos". Lit. "One sees mostly red, red, blood, blood, without truce/break nor rest" but "rouge sang" means "blood-red" and "sang" (blood) and "sans" (without) sound alike. (6) "Allez, Louis, alléluia": "allez", lit. "go" means "come on" and the beginning of "alléluia" sounds like "allez" but in English you can't split "hallelujah" to make a pun as in "… And the steam boat went to / Hello operator"… You'll also find a translation on Lyrics translate.com Lyrics Maurice Vander / Claude Nougaro (Let My People Go) © Les Editions Du Chiffre Neuf, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Salut Ô Éditions, SO2 Édition, Quatryo Éditions 1989 live rendition in Paris Zénith 1965 recording recording 1998 live rendition in Toulouse Back to Index |

(2) CRS (Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité = Republican Security Corps) The CRS are a civilian corps trained in anti-insurrection and antiriot techniques. (3) The path between two rows of vine stocks. (4) Élysée [Palace]: official residence of the President of the French Republic, Matignon [Hôtel de Matignon] official residence and work place of the Prime Minister of France (5) Montsegur: a former fortress near Montségur, a commune in the Ariège department in southern France. Its ruins are the site of a razed stronghold of the Cathars. In 1242 about 10,000 royal troops besieged the castle that was held by about 100 fighters and was home to 211 Perfects (who were pacifists and did not fight) and civilian refugees. The siege lasted nine months, until in March 1244, the castle finally surrendered. Approximately 220 Cathars were burned en masse in a bonfire at the foot of the hill when they refused to renounce their faith. (Montsegur page) (6) "Wine will have flowed under the bridge", based on "water will have flowed under the bridge" = a long time will have passed.

You'll find a harmonized sheet music on page 2 of Chansons du Rouergue, Vol II by Léon Froment (1869-1934). Note that the French lyrics below the score are not a translation of the original lyrics but a French set on the same topic as a more or less literal translation wouldn't fit the tune. These lyrics are in what we call "patoisant" spelling, i.e. French regional language written phonetically with French spelling norms. Back to Index |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 30 Nov 21 - 12:36 PM Yesterday Debra Heller and her mother sang Ma'oz Tsur, in Hebrew.
My Refuge, my Rock of Salvation! 'Tis pleasant to sing Your praises. Let our house of prayer be restored. And there we will offer You our thanks. When You will have slaughtered the barking foe. Then we will celebrate with song and psalm the altar's dedication. My soul was sated with misery, my strength was spent with grief. They embittered my life with hardship, When enslaved under the rule of Egypt. But God with His mighty power Brought out His treasured people; While Pharaoh's host and followers Sank like a stone into the deep. He brought me to His holy abode. Even there, I found no rest. The oppressor came and exiled me, Because I served strange gods, and drank poisonous wine. Yet scarcely had I gone into exile, When Babylon fell and Zerubbabel took charge; Within seventy years I was saved. The Agagite, son of Hammedatha, plotted to cut down the lofty fir; But it proved a snare to him, and his insolence was silenced. You raised the head of the Benjamite, but the enemy's name You blotted out. His numerous sons and his household You hanged upon the gallows. The Greeks gathered against me, in days of the Hasmoneans. They broke down the walls of my towers, and defiled all the oils. But from the last remaining flask a miracle was wrought for the Jews. Therefore the sages of the day ordained these eight for songs of praise. O bare Your holy arm and bring the end of salvation. Wreak vengeance upon the wicked nation, On behalf of your faithful servants. For deliverance has too long been delayed; And the evil days are endless. O Reject the enemy into the shadows of idolatry, and set up for us the seven shepherds.

* "au bois dormant" makes reference to the tale "Sleeping Beauty" called "La belle au bois dormant" in French, that literally translates as "The Beauty at/in the Sleeping Wood" (or actually "The Beauty in the wood, sleeping"). "Que serais-je sans toi?" is a song composed and performed by Jean Ferrat. The song consists of four stanzas taken from Louis Aragon's poem, "Prose du bonheur et d'Elsa", published in 1956 in the collection "Le Roman inachevé". "Prose du bonheur et d'Elsa", which is addressed to Elsa Triolet, wife of Aragon since 1939, is a poem composed, first of twenty-two sestets in alexandrines, then of four large stanzas of twenty-four lines of sixteen feet. To establish and give rhythm to his text, Jean Ferrat first took four lines from the fourteenth sestet, which became the refrain of the song, "What would I be without you who came to meet me..." then all of the seventeenth and eighteenth stanzas, and finally the twenty-first stanza, the whole forming a perfectly harmonious continuity. –Google translation of the song entry on French Wikipedia with some changes from me.

"Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" (meaning "A Boy Unlike the Others (Ziggy)") is a French-language song written by Luc Plamondon and Michel Berger for the 1978 cyberpunk rock opera, Starmania. In 1991, it was covered by Canadian singer Celine Dion for her album, Dion chante Plamondon. (Wiki article about the song) Starmania is now considered one of the most famous rock operas in French history. An English version with lyrics by Tim Rice, titled Tycoon, premiered with the release of a studio recording in 1992, which starred Kim Carnes, Celine Dion, Nina Hagen, Peter Kingsbery, Cyndi Lauper, Willy DeVille, Kevin Robinson and Tom Jones.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: GUEST Date: 12 Apr 22 - 04:43 PM This is a remarkable collection of songs. I am a heretic when it comes to singing songs. I don't think it has to interpreted by those who are exclusively from the culture. A good song is a good song. If you're singing a foreign song, it's respectful to get the pronunciation and the meanings of words right. But I have no problem with using different instruments and arrangements coming from a different culture. A lot of these songs could be sung with a five-string banjo accompaniment. I never had a problem with Pete Seeger singing a song in Spanish, Hebrew, German or African .....even Hungarian or Danish if you can master those difficult words. Singers ought to be able to interpret songs their own way. I must say that I had a problem with Eileen Farrell's attempt to sing the blues but that was due to her lack of understanding of that medium. This thread is so important because a good song travels around the world and binds us as humanity together. When we were with the Weavers, we were open to criticism because we were not from the cultural background of some of the foreign songs we sang. But we made a respectful attempt to understand the song and its environment. When you think of it isn't this the folk process? A variant of a song comes from one part of the world and becomes a new song in another. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: GUEST,diplocase Date: 12 Apr 22 - 04:48 PM Comment vouloir qu'une personne chante - How can you expect a person to sing? earliest written copy 1555 singing of Gabriel Yacoub, "Anthologie de la chanson française - Des trouvères à la pléiade." You can also hear his version on YouTube. translation by Casey [diplocase]
How does anyone want a person to sing When they don't have a free heart? Let those that love makes happy, sing And let me, and let me weep in my misfortune, And let me, and let me weep in my misfortune. Weep, my eyes, weep over my dreadful fate, I lost everything by losing my Iris, Dreadful destiny, take what I have left And give me back, and give me back what you took from me, And give me back, and give me back what you took from me, Take my heart and give me yours, It's yours, I don't claim anything more, But if I find out that you love someone else Right away, right away I'll take mine back, Right away, right away I'll take mine back. I'd sworn I'd love only one girl, I'd sworn to love her forever, When I see her, I suffer agony When I see her, when I see her, I suffer my torment When I see her, when I see her, I suffer my torment. What will be needed, beautiful Iris, to please you? Is my blood needed? It's ready to flow But if my blood can't satisfy you, Is my death needed? Is my death needed? You only have to speak out Is my death needed? Is my death needed? You only have to speak out After my death, you'll cry, I swear/bet You'll love me, this time will be over, You'll walk upon my grave Regretting, regretting your (the) most faithful lover Recording by Gabriel Yacoub Live rendition by Luc Arbogast Sheet music Back to Index

The count in this ballad can be "El conde Olinos" or "El conde Niño" among some others. Live rendition by a much younger Joaquín Díaz (now 75) for a Japanese TV channel. Here is what he tells before singing… "El Romance del Conde Olinos es uno de los más populares entre los romances castellanos. Su primera versión escrita está en el cancionero manuscrito de Londres, y posteriormente existen muchas versiones escritas, por supuesto muchas versiones tradicionales cantadas y trasmitidas oralmente de padres a hijos. La versión que voy a cantar ahora está recogida en Mojados, y como casi todas las versiones, cuenta la historia de dos amantes, un conde y una princesa, a los que la madre de ella, la reina, persigue y no deja que se casen. Ordena matar al conde y la princesa muere de amor al día siguiente. Ellos cambian, digamos, sus estratos vitales, varían de seres humanos a ser animales primero, después vegetales y, después, finalmente, minerales. Y este paso de sus almas por diferentes estadios culmina con la venganza que toman de la reina que se va a curar a la ermita, a la fuente en que se han convertido ellos. Y ellos no quieren curar a la reina porque les trató mal durante su vida." "The Romance of Count Olinos is one of the most popular among Castilian romances. Its first written version is in the London manuscript songbook [Add MS 29987 – British Library], and later there were many written versions, of course many traditional versions sung and transmitted orally from parents to children. The version that I am going to sing now was collected in Mojados, and like almost all the versions, it tells the story of two lovers, an earl and a princess, who are persecuted by her mother, the queen, who does not let them get married. She orders the count to be killed and the princess dies of love the next day. They change, let's say, their vital strata, they vary from human beings to being animals first, then vegetables, and then, finally, minerals. And this passage of their souls through different stages culminates in the revenge they take on the queen who goes to the hermitage to be cured, to the fountain they have become. And they don't want to cure the queen because she treated them badly during her lifetime." The last part refers to several versions in which the two lovers become two bushes (as in Barbara Allen) but the queen have them cut or unrooted, so they become birds but the queen have them shot, then they become a fountain and a spring that cure many illnesses. The queen is losing sight in one eye and she goes to the fountain to be cured. She's denied to be cured or she's told her eye will be cured but she'll lose sight in the other, or she's told she'll lose sight in both eyes instead of one. Let's note also that sometimes the evil parent is not the queen but the king. In some versions the queen is Moorish and the count is Christian but in some versions it's the other way round, their difference in religion being the reason why their love is denied. A shorter version to a different tune from Joaquín Díaz website -a website that I'll always highly recommend!

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Catamariner Date: 09 May 22 - 04:17 PM At the 9 May 2022 singaround, I (Heather P) sang "A la Una Yo Naci," circa 1492. It's from I.J. Levy’s invaluable collection, Chants Judeo Espagnols. There are a number of surviving variants that were collected from different countries. The version called “A la Una Yo Nací” is from Sarajevo, once known as “Chiko Yerushalayim,” according Ladino singer Flory Jagoda, who was born there in 1923. Using Spanish notation for pronunciations, the lyrics are (each line sung twice): A la una yo nací, a las dos m'engrandecí. A las tres tomí amante, a las cuatro me cazí. Alma, vida y corazón, Alma, vida y corazón. Dime niña dónde vienes, que te quiero conocer. Si tú no tienes amante, yo te haré defender. Alma, vida y corazón, Alma, vida y corazón. Yendome para la guerra, dos bezos al aire di. El uno es para mi madre, y el otro para ti. Alma, vida y corazón, Alma, vida y corazón. A la una yo nací, a las dos m'engrandecí. A las tres tomí amante, a las cuatro me cazí. Alma, vida y corazón, Alma, vida y corazón. Translation At one I was born At two I grew up At three I took a lover At four I married Soul, life and heart… Tell me young lass where do you come from For I wish to know you And if you have no lover I will defend you Soul, life and heart… Going off to war I blew two kisses into the air One was for my mother And the other for you Soul, life and heart… At one I was born At two I grew up At three I took a lover At four I married Soul, life and heart… Back to Index |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Joe Offer Date: 11 May 22 - 01:43 PM On 9 May 2022, I sang all of the English verses of Mack the Knife, Bertolt Brecht's "Der Moritat von Mackie Messer." The English version, by Marc Blitzstein, was not a direct translation but it was pretty close. There's quite a difference in melody between the cabaret style of the German Version and the swingin' style of the Bobby Darin version. Dave Van Ronk did a version in English that's closer to the original German. Bobby Darin is somehow able to make mass murder sound cool. The early German recordings make mass murder sound (deliciously) wicked - only Brecht could do that. It's fascinating to select a few recordings from the results of a YouTube Search. Now I want to work out "Pirate Jenny," another Brecht classic. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: leeneia Date: 12 May 22 - 01:53 PM On May 9th I sang "There is a Tavern in the Town", first in English then in German. Here are the German words from the site ingeb.org Es gibt ein Wirtshaus in der Stadt, In der Stadt, Wo oft mein Schatz ein Gläschen hat, Gläschen hat, Er lacht und scherzt, Mit Freunden freut er sich, Und nie (ach nie!) denkt er an mich. Lebewohl, ich muss dich lassen. Darfst den Abschied doch nicht hassen; Es ist jetzt Zeit, wir müssen sagen ""Lebewohl! Leb wohl, leb wohl, mein Schatz, Leb wohl, ja, leb wohl. Ich kann bei dir nicht bleiben wohl, bleiben wohl, Ich häng mein Herz An den Trauerweidenbaum, Dein Leben sei ein schöner Traum! I just learned that "Weidenbaum" is willow tree, so "Trauerweidenbaum" is "sad willow tree." I wonder if that is the usual name for the weeping willow or if it was made up for this song. I've always thought she hung her hat, not her heart on the weeping willow tree. Surely the point of the song is that her roistering lover doesn't have her heart anymore. Thanks for your efforts, Monique. Back to Index |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 12 May 22 - 02:36 PM Thank you Leeneia for posting it! The German dictionary and Wiki read that a weeping willow is called "Trauerweide" whether it's called "Echte Trauerweide" or "Babylonische Trauerweide". |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 15 May 22 - 06:23 AM On Monday Joe Fineman sang "Auprès de ma blonde". The lyrics are already in Mudcat DT There's also a thread about the song but no translation. So here is the version I learned as a child and a translation. Note that the 2nd line of each verse becomes the 1st line of the next one making the song 11 verses long instead of 6.
The song's quick pace and lively melody made it well-suited to military marches, and it is still commonly played at parades. For the same reasons, it gained widespread popularity as a drinking song and nursery rhyme. According to French Wiki, it's often attributed to André Joubert du Collet, lieutenant of the royal navy during the reign of Louis XIV: taken prisoner by the Dutch, he would have composed it after his release in 1741.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 17 May 22 - 06:55 PM Yesterday, Casey sang...
Recording by Malicorne Live rendition by Malicorne (song begins around 1:30) On Gabriel Yacoub's website you'll find this piece of information in French:(translated by Google -that late at night, I don't translate much by myself) This song is of Norman origin but the date of its composition is uncertain. It "celebrated" either the marriage of Henriette de France, daughter of Henry IV, with Charles 1st of England, or according to Amélie Bosquet (1815- 1904), Norman folklorist, that of Catherine de Valois, daughter of Charles VI, with Henry V, King of England The first verse is a melody of Quebec origin. The song is followed by "Domino Fidelium" Gregorian motet from the school of Notre-Dame. Here is what Amélie Bosquet says in her book La Normandie, romanesque et merveilleuse ; traditions, légendes et superstitions populaires de cette province (1845) -in French, translated by Google translate. "The romance we are about to quote is still sung today in the vicinity of Saint-Valéry-en-Gaux. Without being able to indicate precisely the origin of this popular song and the time of its primitive composition, we believe that we are not forming a conjecture devoid of probability, by saying that it seems to us to have been composed on the occasion of the marriage of the princess Catherine of France, daughter of Charles VI, with Henry V, King of England. " And here are the lyrics she collected.
Here is the singable translation penned by Casey Once was a daughter of a king of France Promised in her youth to an English man Dearest brothers, do not let them give my hand Better I should marry a soldier lad of my own land When came the hour they two were wed She through the streets was royally led Not a Parisian lady but wept most bitterly To see the princess betrothèd to an English King When came the hour to put to sea The Englishman sought to bind her ee Bind your own, let mine alone, foul Englishman I will see the water divide me from my native land. When came the hour they come to land Fiddlers and drums on every hand Get you from me, English players, cease your dance I prefer the *hautboys of the King of France When came the hour their meal to take The Englishman sought her bread to break Break your own, let mine alone, foul Englishman I will take my bread from a serving maid of my own land When they retired unto their room The Englishman knelt to unlace her shoon Unlace your own, leave mine alone, foul Englishman I have a tiring maid of my own land And as the midnight hour drew near The Englishman sighed and shed many a tear Turn again, and take my hand dear Englishman, Since we are wed, we must love one another if we can. *an instrument like an oboe Back to Index

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: GUEST,Guest Joan F Date: 22 May 22 - 03:59 AM I sang it in English, as I *can't* sing in Irish. Trust me on that one. I did do the chorus in what my source for the song, Ciara Thompson at her lecture at the Traditional Song Forum, said were "vocables", i.e. nonsense syllables used in Irish lullabies. Turns out I was mispronouncing one & its not just a vocable, said Felipa, but a real Irish word, seoithin (sp?), meaning "sough of the wind". I wrote to Ciara T. about this & she says that its thought that the vocables in Irish lullabies are what remain of ancient charms/spells, so they can have both retained real-word meanings & nonsense-for-lullaby "meanings". Makes sense to me! I still don't pretend to get Irish pronunciations right. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 04 Jul 22 - 01:48 PM This song has already been posted on Mudcat but had no translation posted. So here it is again with a literal one.
Here is the version I have on different books (and the way I learned it) with accents and all. On the second verse, the spelling "vouère" reflects the old pronounciation of the "oi" spelling now pronounced [wa] though the aperture of the [a] varies from a wide open "a" in the South to a rather closed "é" in some parts of France and tends to "o" in other parts. So it's no real clue to trace it back but it's said to be from the 19th century. "Cache-té" is "Cache-toi" (Hide /Hide yourself) for the same reason. The "ti" (2nd, 5th verse) is a popular particle added after the verb in questions (J'y vas-ti, j'y vas-ti pas?) in some areas. The conjugation "je vas" (5th verse) is also popular (standard "je vais"), so is saying "i" instead of "il" before consonant (i' saura pas t' trouver), 9th verse: the "z" (z'avaient rongé...) is what remains from the original liaison "ils_avaient" Note also that "Monsieur le curé" is the formal way to address or to speak about a catholic priest. We use "Monsieur le..." to address or speak about a mayor, a president, a secretary/minister... etc. "Madame la ..." is used for a woman. "bouffé" is slang for "eaten". This song originated in Western France. Different variants have been collected from Poitou to High Britanny. The song as we know it now has been popularized by Les Compagnons de la Chanson (1946) and is quite recent.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 15 Aug 22 - 02:24 PM This popular ballad derives from a "romance" by Juan del Encina (1468-1529) well spread in the 16th century (Cf. below the video links).
Note that I kept the verbs in present or past tenses as they are in the original version, which can sound quite weird in English but so does it in Spanish as some tenses are more about rhyming than time consistency. There are slightly different lyrics for this ballad sung on different tunes. Live rendition by Joaquín Díaz. Recording by Víctor Jara. Recording by Washington Carrasco y Cristina Fernández.

Traditional/Eleanor Farjeon Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the Word Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dew fall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where His feet pass Mine is the sunlight Mine is the morning Born of the One Light Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the Word "Morning Has Broken is a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan". It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services Bunessan is a hymn tune based on a Scottish folk melody, first associated with the Christmas carol "Child in the Manger" and later and more commonly with "Morning Has Broken". It is named for the village of Bunessan in the Ross of Mull. -From Wikipedia Cat Steven's version: Morning has broken like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing fresh from the Word. Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where God's feet pass. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning Born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, praise every morning, God's recreation of the new day!

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 19 Sep 22 - 02:22 PM L’Escriveta - Occitan ballad, aka "L’Escribòta", "Flurança" / "Florença", "Ne maridan Liseta"... There are several versions of it in Occitan. You’ll get a version, a long bibliography where the song can be found and a study in "Le romancéro populaire de la France; choix de chansons populaires françaises: textes critiques par George Doncieux, avec un avant-propos et un index musical par Julien Tiersot" You’ll find several versions (lyrics and score) in "Romania Vol.15". Both books are in French. The Piedmontese version is 'L Moru Sarazin’ (among other spellings). Constatino Nigra collected some versions that you’ll find in Canti popolari del Piemonte -in Italian There’s at least one Catalan version of it. There's at least one longer Occitan version that I'll post later.

**There's no way to know for sure if it's "her" or "him" as "le" can be either in Spanish. In other versions, the husband throws her ("la") off the balcony but in others he grabs "le" by the moustache, so it can only be the lover. This is a version of an anonymous ballad from the 1500's. It's also known as "Blanca Niña", "Albaniña"... It was first published in "Tercera Parte de la Silva de Romances", Zaragoza, 1551. You can read the original version of this ballad in "Primavera y flor de romances ó Colección de los más viejos y más populares romances castellanos", vol. 2, by Ferdinand Wolf, Berlin, 1856, where the source is mentioned. You can also read it in Antología de poetas líricos castellanos: desde la formación del idioma hasta nuestros días vol. 3, by Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, Madrid, 1900 You can find 126 versions of this ballad in Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese on Pan-Hispanic Ballad Project, University of Washington. I find that this version lacks a 4th line in which the soldier tells her he'd like to sleep with her, which better explain "Come up, come up, sir, you'll sleep a night or two". I find some versions kind of funny as the husband takes his wife to give her back to her father but the father gives him some "Now-it's-not-my-business" answer and in others versions he kills her but dies an hour later and the lover "as a scoundrel, remained in bed". All that for this! Recording by Joaquín Díaz A different tune and slightly different lyrics recorded by Candeal Back to Index |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: leeneia Date: 10 Oct 22 - 04:22 PM Hi, Monique. When I heard you sing this song, with its jaunty melody and its jaunt "que que que," I knew I had heard it somewhere else. Finally it came to me - it's on an album of French Canadian music I have had for many years. I think the last verse doesn't really belong. It's too mean for the rest of the song. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 10 Oct 22 - 05:52 PM Oh yes it does! Have a look at these versions on "Pan-Hispanic Ballad Project" by the University of Washington. In many versions the wife says "Kill me as I deserve it" and the husband does kill her -usually by stabbing her. He sometimes stabs her without "her permission"! |

*"Corbleu" was an euphemism for "Corps de Dieu" (God's body) **"culotte" used to mean "men's pants/breeches" while nowadays it means women's panties This song is said to be from the 17th century. Eugène Rolland (1846-1909) collected some more in several areas in France in at least 3 languages (= more than 3 dialects!) in his Recueil de chansons populaires, 2 (1883) -with scores. Here is an Occitan version of the song
There are different tunes to this song though the lyrics are more or less the same. There are also French versions such as the one above Louis Lambert (1835-1908) collected a few versions in his "Chants et chansons populaires du Languedoc, 2" (1906) -with scores.

The air is spiced with a thousand perfumes but I would abandon them, every one, toward being allowed to wander among Backafall's mallows - all while the moon keeps watch over Hven. Do not wait for me in the summer Ellen; then I shall still sail the line in the North. But when you stand by the church in the evening then think I'm a fllitting insect which without leave annoys your temple and - while you flick with your small hands - peeks down under the neck of your blouse - all while the moon shines on the mallows. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 06 Feb 23 - 02:09 PM From the extract in English by Robert Paquin in Le testament du garçon empoisonné, un Lord Randal français en Acadie -the whole article is in French but there's an extract in English at the bottom of the document. Here is part of it... "Versions of a French ballad collected on the east coast of Canada (Acadie) are compared to Child No. 12, Lord Randal. The French ballad, "Le testament du garçon empoisonné" is shown to be a popular translation resulting from the folk cultural exchanges that occurred in Canada, either in lumber camps or among mixed (i.e. French-English) families. This French ballad has no ancestor in France, but a French Lord Randal does exist among the displaced "Cajuns" of Louisiana. While it is impossible to identify a unique source for the French Testament, the Louisiana version seems to be the work of a literate craftsman whose source can be clearly traced to Child D version, first published in Scott’s Minstrelsy."

Malicorne retained the lyrics but the 4th verse and not the tune. They used the tune to Réveillez-vous, Picards, "an old Picard warrior song, currently the regional anthem of Picardy, and marching song of the 1st Infantry Regiment. It comes from the tune sung by Picard soldiers and mercenaries under the Burgundian States before 1479 and their attachment to the crown of France. The lyrics express their loyalty to Charles the Bold. According to Gaston Paris, this song was probably authored by a Picard in the service of Maximilian I."

Provençal song from the 19th century inspired by the tradition of the suitors’ planting a May pole during the night in front of the girl they wished to woo. Sometimes, a rival could remove the pole while the first one was asleep -and even carry it in front of someone else’s door just for the fun of it! If the girl accepted the May pole the boy knew his feelings were shared and he could court her. You'll note that in all the recordings below the 3rd verse is missing without which the 4th one can't be understood. Recording by Gacha Empega. Recording by Joan Maria Carlotti.

Subject: Lyrics: Maria Chuchena From: Terry SoRelle Date: 07 Jun 23 - 10:17 AM This is a song from the state of Veracruz, Mexico. There are hundreds of different versions in practically every mexican idiom: Son Jorocho, conjunto, marichi, even cumbia. This version if from an album by Krishnasol Jimenez, Maria Kiehr and Roberto Koch, 'Navigating Foreign Waters'. Their arrangments combine Spanish Baroque compositions with mexican traditional son. This one uses a tune for 17th Century composter, Santiago de Murcia More information and liner notes download is at: https://www.brilliantclassics.com/articles/n/navigating-foreign-waters-spanish-baroque-music-mexican-folk-music/ The song is about a fisherman who falls in love with the lovely Maria Chuchena who bathes at the mouth of the river near the sea. He calls to her to swim out to his boat so they can swim away. That's the whole story, the rest is birds, Butterflys, flowers, fragrances, a falling star and a non-sencical refrain about 'roofing your house' (go figure).

The comment before the song reads (translated) The memory of this song has been preserved by a clown from the Boulevard du Temple, named Rousseau, who paraded in front of the door of the Malaga high-rope dancer's show, around 1800, before the famous Bobèche. It is one of those songs of sailors which are sung at seaports, and which lack neither gaiety nor originality. Version "located" in Saint-Malo Another set of lyrics recorded by La Bricole on a different tune. Another set of lyrics sung by Les Marins d'Iroise Another set of lyrics sung by the group Nordet This song is also known in Canada. Here is a version sung by the Quebec band Serre l'Écoute.

Borrowed from Huapala.org website, a very resourceful site on Hawaiian music and culture. On their Hanohano_Hanalei page you'll find a link to a music clip and this… Source: Na Mele O Hawaiʻi Nei - This song was composed about 1924. Manuʻakepa is a bright green seaweed, Molokama, a series of streams that flow thru Hanalei Valley, and Mamalahoa, a mountain peak. Alfred Unauna Alohikea (1884-1936) was born in Waipi`o Valley on the big island, but spent most of his life in Hanalei, Kauaʻi where he composed most of his music. A natural musician, he played by ear and could neither read nor write music. He was famous for his baritone voice and performed with the Royal Hawaiian Band, made one tour of the mainland (1901-02) and played ukulele, guitar, stand-up bass and saxophone.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English From: Monique Date: 28 Oct 23 - 09:05 PM On Monday 16th, Gerry sang "Oseh Shalom". He said, "The version of Oseh Shalom I did, the musical setting by Michael Hunter Ochs, adds one phrase to the Hebrew. Leaving out the repetitions, it goes, Oseh shalom bimromav, hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu, v'al kol Yisrael, v’al kol ha olam. Which can be translated as, 'May the One who makes peace in the high heavens make peace for us, for all Israel and all the world.' But any actual performance of the Ochs setting will include lots of repetition. The details of the repetition are to some extent up to the singer (or the choir director). What I sang, including repeats, was this: [Oseh shalom bimromav, Hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu,] x3 Ya'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom, Shalom aleinu, v'al kol Yisrael Ya'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom, Shalom aleinu, v’al kol yoshvei teiveil, Ya'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom, Shalom aleinu, v'al kol Yisrael Ya'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom, Shalom aleinu, V'al kol Yisrael x3 V’al kol yoshvei teiveil. The last line, 'V’al kol yoshvei teiveil', translates as 'and all who inhabit the earth.'" Here is the Hebrew text: עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם [עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו, הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ,](x3) יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ, וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ, וְעַל כָּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ, וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם, שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל (x3) וְעַל כָּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל.

Daniel Guichard's 1974 live rendition Daniel Guichard's 2005 live rendition with French subtitles. Daniel Guichard's 2015 live rendition. "In 1962, Michelle Senlis wrote the text My Old Man in homage to her father, a text that Jean Ferrat put to music in 1963. The same year, the song was performed by two singers, Jacques Boyer and Jean-Louis Stain. On November 7, 1963, Michelle Senlis' father died; she then requested the song no longer be exploited. However, in 1974, she agreed to co-sign Daniel Guichard's remake. Later, she declared that she regretted this gesture because she criticized Daniel Guichard for having performed the song in 1973 with modified lyrics without her agreement and that "everyone" hid it from her when signing. Furthermore, following the enormous success by Daniel Guichard's remake, Michelle Senlis said she had a hard time with the 'false connection' that journalists made between Daniel Guichard and the song." -French Wikipedia Back to Index |

It is sung in Hebrew and Arabic and has gained popularity in Israeli folk music, especially within the context of the Arab–Israeli conflict. The song typically begins slowly and somewhat plaintively, and, as it repeats, gradually increases in tempo and excitement. (From Wikipedia Lyrics of Salaam, from the bridge:

LYRICS IN HEBREW CHARACTERS שיר לשלום תְּנוּ לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לַעֲלוֹת, לַבֹּקֶר לְהָאִיר. הַזַּכָּה שֶׁבַּתְּפִלּוֹת אוֹתָנוּ לֹא תַּחֲזִיר. מִי אֲשֶׁר כָּבָה נֵרוֹ וּבֶעָפָר נִטְמַן, בֶּכִי מַר לֹא יָעִירוֹ, לֹא יַחֲזִירוֹ לְכָאן. אִישׁ אוֹתָנוּ לֹא יָשִׁיב מִבּוֹר תַּחְתִּית אָפֵל. כָּאן לֹא יוֹעִילוּ לֹא שִׂמְחַת הַנִּצָחוֹן, וְלֹא שִׁירֵי הַלֵּל. לָכֵן, רַק שִׁירוּ שִׁיר לַשָּׁלוֹם, אַל תִּלְחֲשׁוּ תְּפִלָּה. מוּטָב תָּשִׁירוּ שִׁיר לַשָּׁלוֹם, בִּצְעָקָה גְּדוֹלָה. תְּנוּ לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ לַחֲדֹר מִבַּעַד לַפְּרָחִים. אַל תַּבִּיטוּ לְאָחוֹר, הָנִיחוּ לַהוֹלְכִים. שְׂאוּ עֵינַיִם בְּתִקְוָה, לֹא דֶּרֶךְ כַּוָּנוֹת. שִׁירוּ שִׁיר לָאַהֲבָה, וְלֹא לַמִּלְחָמוֹת. אַל תַּגִּידוּ "יוֹם יָבוֹא", בִיאוּ אֶת הַיּוֹם! כִּי לֹא חֲלוֹם הוּא, וּבְכֹל הַכִּכָּרוֹת הָרִיעוּ לַשָּׁלוֹם!

(2) = euphemism for "soutien-gorge" : bra (lit. "bosom support") * The smallpox vaccine shot was usually done on the high part of the thigh or the arm. (3) "à poil" (pun): furred but also slang for "naked" (4) "dard" (pun): stinger, spear and also one of the many slang words for penis, so you can imagine what this "dash off" refers to. (5) (pun) Lit. "I had no delay/lateness" usually refers to a woman's period. (6) Miss Helyett is an opérette that depicts the complications ensuing when the excessively puritanical heroine believes herself duty-bound to marry an unknown man who, in rescuing her from a serious fall in the Pyrenees, has been unable to avoid seeing the exposed lower half of her body. -Wiki (7) Alternate version sung by Mistinguett: no 2nd verse. 2nd chorus as… Il m'a vue nue, (He saw me naked) Toute nue, (All naked) J' veux oublier c' qui s'est passé (I want to forget what happened) D'autant plus qu'il n'y a rien d' cassé. (All the more as there's nothing broken) Et je me dis, depuis cette fatale nuit, (And I've been telling myself, since that fatal night) Je n' peux pas épouser un autre homme que lui (I can't marry another man but him) Il m'a vue nue, (He saw me naked) Tell'ment nue, (So naked) Super-nue.
