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

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. |

"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.

* "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.

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.

(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.
