Recording by Malicorne (1973) This is an article with the history of this song in France, and identifying a descendent of this song that has evolved into a Canadian canoe-paddling song. (If you can access it as a member) You can find a version with score and lyrics collected by Marius Barbeau on the Canadian Museum of History. You can find another version on this copy of the texts (so no scores) included in "Folk Songs of Old Quebec" by Marius Barbeau. You can listen to a slightly different version sung by Jacques Labrecque. In this pdf copy of "Le Fureteur Breton, 1911, (in French) you'll find "La chanson de Bois-Gilles" that has some verses in common with the King/Prince Eugene song. Back to Index |

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: 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. |

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: 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: 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.

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. |

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.

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: Monique Date: 12 Apr 22 - 06:27 PM On April 4th I sang an alternate version of this song (Original lyrics: Martin Cayla (1880-1951) Music: Martin Cayla-Joseph Canteloube (1879 -1957)
Here are the original lyrics penned by Martin Cayla spelled in normalized spelling
sung Played on a hurdy gurdy sung 1st verse only (for obvious reasons) sung and played by K children Sheet music here. Note: the sheet music is said to be "around" 1920 so the song might be in the public domain in the US. Here it isn't since Canteloube died in 1957, it'll fall in the PD in Jan. 2028. Another sheet music. For sale by AbeBooks so it might disappear one day or another. Back to Index |
