All through the night before daylight There fell the dew and rain. It sparkles bright on the May Bush white; It glistens on the plain. Oh, the hedges and fields are growing so green As green as grass can be. Our Heavenly Mother watereth them With her heavenly dew so sweet.
A branch of May we'll bring to you
Our song is done, it's time we were gone

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: Monique Date: 20 Apr 21 - 02:53 AM Here are Joe F's lyrics from there. Утро красит нежным светом Стены древнего Кремля, Просыпается с рассветом Вся советская земля. Холодок бежит за ворот, Шум на улицах сильней. С добрым утром, милый город, Сердце Родины моей! Припев: Кипучая, Могучая, Никем непобедимая, Страна моя, Москва моя, Ты - самая любимая! Разгорелся день веселый, Морем улицы шумят. Из открытых окон школы Слышны крики октябрят. Май течет рекой нарядной По широкой мостовой, Льется песней необъятной Над красавицей Москвой. Припев. День уходит, и прохлада Освежает и бодрит... Отдохнувши от парада, Город праздничный гудит. Вот когда встречаться парам! Говорлива и жива, По садам и по бульварам Растекается Москва. Припев. Стала ночь на день похожей Море света над толпой. Эй, товарищ, эй, прохожий, С нами вместе песню пой! Погляди - поет и пляшет Вся Советская страна. Нет тебя светлей и краше, Наша красная весна! Припев. Голубой рассвет глядится В тишину Москвы - реки, И поют ночные птицы - Паровозные гудки. Бьют часы кремлевской башни, Гаснут звезды, тает день... До свиданья, день вчерашний, - Здравствуй, новый светлый день! |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: Joe_F Date: 17 Apr 21 - 09:52 PM Because May Day is (was?) the principal socialist holiday, there are many May *Day* songs from socialist and communist countries. A well-known one from the USSR is "Moskva" ("Moscow"): Utro krasit nezhnym tsvetom Steny drevnovo Kremlya. Prosypayetsa s rassvetom Vsya sovetskaya zemlya. Kholodok bezhit za vorot. Shum na ulitsakh sil'ney. S dobrim utrom, milyy gorod, Serdtse rodini moyey! Kipuchaya, moguchaya, Nikem ne povedimaya, Strana moya, Moskva moya, Ty samaya lubimaya!

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 16 Apr 21 - 06:27 PM Mainly Norfolk; Seventeen Come Sunday / As I Roved Out / One May Morning / The Soldier and the Maid The Broadside from Grimsby sang Seventeen Come Sunday on their 1973 Topic album of songs and ballads collected in Lincolnshire, The Moon Shone Bright. Nine of the fourteen songs on this album were collected by Percy Grainger in 1905 and 1906, amongst them this one. The Broadside commented in their liner notes: Seventeen Come Sunday, from Fred Atkinson of Redbourne, [9 September] 1905. A fine sturdy Dorian tune to one of the most widely-known sets of words. When Grainger published this song in 1912 he had to omit the seventh stanza. The Broadside sing Seventeen Come Sunday; As I rose up one May morning, One May morning so early, I overtook a pretty fair maid Just as the day was dawning. Chorus (repeated after each verse): With me ru-rum ray, Fother riddle ay Wok fol lare diddle-i-do Her stockings white and her boots so bright And her buckling shone like silver. She had a dark and a rolling eye And her hair hung over her shoulders. |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: John C. Bunnell Date: 14 Apr 21 - 08:41 PM Here's another in the "As I walked out" cluster. At least insofar as I can tell, this isn't already anywhere here on Mudcat - and for once I have a full attribution on hand, from the liner notes on my physical copy of the album. (I have *not* attempted to transcribe the full counterpoints and harmony elements, which get progressively more complicated from refrain to refrain. For those you want to click through to the YouTube recording.) AN IRISH SONG written by Ed McCurdy arranged & performed by the Chad Mitchell Trio ("Singing Our Minds") As I walked out one May morning, to take the pleasant air, I saw a pretty girl walking by with roses in her hair; I stepped right up and I said to her, "Pretty girl, I think you're grand!" She answered me and said, "Of course - I come from Ireland." Polly-wolly-roo-wack-too-rye-ah - I come from Ireland. "That's very nice, I'm sure," I said, "You do the country proud, But would you like to take a walk somewhere beyond the crowd?" She said that was a pleasant thought, so we began to roam, And soon we reached a building grand, where this girl made her home. Polly-wolly-roo-wack-too-rye-ah-whack-tither-oh - where this girl made her home. She asked me to take off my coat, and rest myself awhile; She stepped into another room, which caused me for to smile. She soon came back to where I sat - she didn't keep me long - And sitting down beside me, said, "I think I'll sing a song." Polly-wolly-roo-wack-too-rye-ah-whack-tither-wither-polly-wolly-doo - "I think I'll sing a song." And so this girl begin to sing in a voice both loud and clear; She sang of dear old Ireland, the country she held dear. She sang me songs I'd never heard; she'd learned them from her mother -- And when one song was finished, well, she'd start out with another. Polly-wolly-roo-wack-too-rye-ah-whack-tither-wither-polly-wolly-doo - "She'd start out with another." The hours went slipping quickly by, till daylight all had gone; The night came all around us, but still she sang right on, And when the morning came at last, I said, "I'll have to go; It's been a very pleasant time, and now this much I know: Ireland has leprechauns; she's suffered many wrongs; Ireland has peat-bog fires...and an awful lot of songs!" Polly-wolly-roo-wack-too-rye-ah-whack-whack-too-ra-lee-eye-oh.... (etc.) |
