Lyr Req: Youkaidi Youkaida (origins? texts?)

30 Dec 02 - 09:01 PM (#855685)
Subject: Tune Add: Youkaidi
From: Haruo

I'm getting ready to put the humorous Esperanto song "Jukajdi Jukajda" by Raymond Schwartz in La Lilandejo and am trying to find out more about its origins (both as to tune and as to text). The tune is basically the same as the French scouting song "Youkaïdi" but Schwartz's lyrics are much more "adult" (the song is not at all politically correct, but promotes tobacco, booze, sloth, and making it with your friend's wife, all very lightheartedly of course). I'm wondering if there are "[im!]mature" lyrics in French that might be closer to Schwartz's text. Also, according to the record insert (from the 1964 LP Ni kantu en Esperanto) the tune is Swedish, but I've been unable to verify that. Any Swedish leads will be most welcome. Also English lyrics (scouting or otherwise).

I think Juchei di, juchei da (or Juch heidi, juch heida?) is a common refrain in German folksongs, and the tune sounds vaguely familiar. I'm almost sure I've heard German words to it.

Okay, here is "Opidee." Masato linked the 1859 sheet music as arranged by H. G. Spaulding for Harvard University. The song is a parody, based on five verses of the Henry W. Longfellow poem, "Excelsior." First verse to show the tenor of Longfellow's poem:

The Shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!

The youth is urged to stop, "try not the Pass," but he goes on and meets his doom- "Still grasping in his hand of ice, That banner with the strange device, Excelsior! The ninth and last verse:

There, in the twilight cold and gray,
Lifeless, but beautiful he lay,
And from the sky, serene and fair,
A voice fell, like a falling star,
Excelsior!

Generations of innocent children were forced to learn this poem and to recite it with gestures before their classmates, admiring parents and suffering townsfolk. Rebellion and parody followed.

Lyr. Add: UPIDEE

The shades of night were falling fast,
Tral la la, Tral la la,
As through an Alpine village passed,
Tral la la, Tral la la!
A youth who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device,

Chorus:
U-pi-dee-i, dee-i, da, U-pi-dee, Upida,
U-pi-dee, U-pi-da, U-pi-dee-i, dee-i, da,
U-pi-dee-da!
r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r yah! yah! yah! yah!
(imitating a watchman's rattle)

His brow was sad, his eye beneath,
Tral la la, Tral la la!,
Flashed like a faulchion from his sheaf,
Tral la la, Tral la la!
And like a silver clarion rung,
The accents of that unknown tongue,

Chorus

"O stay," the maiden said, "and rest,"
Tral la la, Tral la la!
"Thy weary head upon this breast,"
Tral la la, Tral la la!
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered with a sigh,

Chorus

At break of day as heavenward
Tral la la, Tra la la!
The pious monks of Saint Bernard,
Tral la la, Tral la la!
Uttered the oft repeated prayer,
A voice cried through the air,

Chorus

A trav'ler, by the faithful hound,
Tral la la, Tral la la!
Half-buried in the snow was found,
Tral la la, Tral la la!
Still grasping in his hand of ice,
That banner with the strange device,

Chorus

Taken from "Heart Songs," pub. by The Chapple Pub. Co., Boston, for the World Syndicate, pp. 88-89, with sheet music. Much easier to read that the original sheet music in the Levy Sheet Music Collection.

Another parody, from The University of California, 1883, can be found at American Memory, "Upidee Vocal Lancers," based o, "Gaudeamus Igitur," but with an 'Upidee' chorus.

From: Q (Frank Staplin)

"Upidee" quickly became a Civil War song. Music by A. E. Blackmer, Lyrics by D. G. Knight (arrangers? Date?).

Lyr. Add: THE UPIDEE SONG

The shades of night were falling fast,
Tra la la! Tra la la!
The bugler blew his well-known blast.
Tra la la la la
No matter be there rain or snow
That bugler still is bound to blow.

Chorus:
Up-i-de-i-de-1 da!
Up-i-de!
Up-i-da!
Up-i-de-i-de-i-da!
Up-i-de-i-da!

He saw, as in their bunks they lay,
Tra la la! tra la la!
How soldiers spent the dawning day
Tra la la la la
"There's too much comfort there," said he,
"And so I'll blow the 'Reveille'."

Chorus

In nice log huts he saw the light,
Tra la la! Tra la la!
Of cabin fires, warm and bright,
Tra la la la la
The night afforded him no heat,
And so he sounded the "Retreat"

Chorus

Upon the fire he spied a pot
Tra la la! Tra la la!
Choicest viands smoking hot,
Tra la la la la
Says he," You shan't enjoy the stew,"
So "Boots and Saddles" loudly blew

Chorus

They scarce their half-cooked meal begin
Tra la la! Tra la la!
Ere orderly cries out. "Fall in!'
Tra la la la la
Then off they march through mud and rain,
P'raps only to march back again

Chorus

But soldiers, you are made to fight
Tra la la! Tra la la!
To starve all day and march all night
Tra la la la la
Perchance, if you get bread and meat
The bugler will not let you eat

Chorus

Oh hasten then, that glorious day
Tra la la! Tra la la!
When buglers no longer play
Tra la la la la
When we, through Peace, shall be set free
From "Tattoo," "Taps," and "Reveille."

Chorus
The Upidee Song, with midi: Upidee Song
and also with midi: The Upidee Song

Subject: Lyr Add: Das Urbummellied
From: masato sakurai

This seems to be the original. However, I can't verify Weber wrote it. Also in Ernst Klusen's Deutsche Lieder, vol. 2 (1981, p. 670; not the same version: "Studio auf einer Reis, / Juppheidi, juppheida"), which says (p. 850): "T. und M.: trad. seit etwa 1845."

Das Urbummellied   (Carmen studiosi vagantis) (From here)
Carl Maria von Weber

1. Studio auf einer Reis',
Juchheidi, juchheida,
Ganz famos zu leben weiß,
Juchheidi, heida!
Immer fort durch Dick und Dünn
Schlendert er durch's Dasein hin.
|: Juchheidi, heidi, heida,
   Juchheidi, heida! :|

2. Hat der Studio auch kein Geld,
Juchheidi, juchheida,
Ist er drum nicht schlecht bestellt,
Juchheidi, heida!
Manches feinste Pfäffelein,
Ladet ihn zum Frühstück ein
|: Juchheidi, heidi, heida,
   Juchheidi, heida! :|

3. Kehren wir in's Wirtshaus ein,
Juchheidi, juchheida,
Trinken wir stets Bier und Wein.
Juchheidi, heida!
Alle Mädel für uns glühn,
Denn wir tragen schwartz-blau-grün
|: Juchheidi, heidi, heida,
   Juchheidi, heida! :|
4. Bayrisch Bier und Leberwurst,
Juchheidi, juchheida,
Und ein Kind mit voller Brust,
Juchheidi, heida!
Und ein Glas Crambambuli,
Donnerwetter Paraplui!
|: Juchheidi, heidi, heida,
   Juchheidi, heida! :|
   Studens in itinere

Novit bene vivere,
Semper per diversa it,
Laetus vitam peragit.

Etsi caret assibus,
Nondum est sollicitus:

Ad nonnullum parochum
Invenitur prandium.

Atque cum devertitur,
Cerevisia bibitur;
Quaevis est suavissima
Intuens insignia.

Siti cerevisia,
Fami et farcimina!
Guttula "Crambambuli"!
Tempestatem "Parapluie"!

From: GUEST,Gwillim Law

I have a couple of observations to add to Q's post of 10 May 04 - 01:55 PM. My father had a book of "College Songs", copyright 1917 if I remember right. Upidee, with lyrics based on the Longfellow poem, was among them. The nonsense words were slightly different from Q's version; for example, replace the second "Tral la la, Tral la la!" in each stanza with "Tral la la, la la!" The watchman's rattle came only after the last verse. A more substantive change is "sheaf" to "sheath". Since a faulchion (or falchion) is a sword, you would more likely draw it from a sheath than from a sheaf of wheat or a sheaf of papers, for example.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Youkaidi Youkaida (origins? texts?)
From: Q (Frank Staplin)

I have now "Upidee" as it was published in 1859 in "College Songs," compiled by C. Wistar Stevens. "Upidee" (pp. 20-21) is reproduced there with the permission of O. Ditson & Co., who published the sheet music (also 1859) linked by Masato, above.
Gwillim is correct- it should be sheath after faulchion. He also is correct about the Tra-la-la-la-la after the line 'As through an Alpine village passed,'.
'Sheaf' is an error in "Heart Songs," from which I copied the lyrics. The 'Tra-la---'error is mine.

In "College Songs," a note precedes the music and lyrics. "The solos usually sung at Harvard to this music are College songs which contain so many local names and allusions as to render them uninteresting to all but Harvard Students. Some familiar verses from Longfellow's Excelsior are therefore inserted for the solo parts of the song."

... and the price goes to Masato.
The song is entitled "Freiburger Urbummellied" in older student song books and its origin is ascribed to the students in Freiburg/Baden, Germany.
The tune is useWolfgang remarked). With the boy scouts we sang a nonsensical song to the same tune:
"Beautiful is one silk hat, but better is to have two. Juchheidi and juchheida, schnapps is good against the cholera, ... schnapps is good for me" and so on till a dozen.
Another version of the tune with the identical chorus "uppheidi and juppheida, schnapps..." is the famous song about the "Doctor Eisenbart", an itinerant medic.
Juchheidi is an exclamation of joy, juchheida a variation for a different sounding when repeated. The same goes for tralali, tralala.

Wilfried,

The version of "Doktor Eisenbart" that I know has "Zwilli-willi-wick, bum-bum" between the lines and the chorus is something like (trying to remember from 40 years ago!):

Lautonia, lautonia
Zwilli-willi-wick, juchheirassa
Lautonia, lautonia
Zwilli-willi-wick, bum-bum

Is this the same song, and does it use the same tune?

Yes, it is the song, and so printed in ingeb.org.
Since it is an old song, there have been changes in the run of the centuries, and I have learned another version.
Instead of "zwilli-willi.wick" we sang "witte-witte-witt", and the part starting with "Lautonia" I didn't know.

Would one of you Allemanophones mind posting an English version of the paragraph at the bottom of the ingeb.org page? Babelfish says it means
The mockery song and its prahlerisches occurrence had registered the call of a Kurpfuschers to Eisenbarth. Its name became undeserved the symbol for rough cures with bad exit. In the fact Eisenbarth was a Koenner in his occupation, a physician, who was its time and helped many patients ahead. Its bold operations excited attention with the contemporaries. It was also a Schalk, which knew to achieve itself sent the favour of the quantity. The roots of the mockery song are possibly to be looked for in the envy of its less successful colleagues.
Now, I can read German better than Babelfish apparently can, but I must admit I'm not sure what some that means.

From: Wilfried Schaum

The mocking song and his boastful appearance led to calling Dr. Eisenbart (Ironbeard) a quack. Unmeritedly his name became a symbol for rough cures with bad success. In fact he was an expert in his profession who was in advance of his time and had helped many sick people. His daring operations created a sensation among his contemporaries. He was a joyful roue, too, who cleverly knew to gain the favour of the crowd.
The mocking song could possibly be created by his colleagues with less success.
[A little bit more understandale, I think]

Back to the "Youkaidi" song: It is definitely not by Carl Maria von Weber. A traditional students' corporation, quoting a printed songbook, attributes it to
tune: Richard Schäffer (1823-1886)
lyrics: Gustav Weber (1824-1908).
Carl Maria's songs were more sophisticated, some of them with guitar accompaniment, originally sung and played by himself.

Nevertheless, our song "Studio auf einer Reis" merits a more precise harmonization than Ingeb.org's MIDI offers us. Here is a version of my own making, reflecting my experience as a choirmaster, in ABC format. It can also be transposed down for male voices only, or up for females:

T:Studio auf einer Reis

From Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen [Archive for the Study of Modern Languages and Literatures], Volumes 80-81, (Braunschweig: George Westermann, 1888), page 347:

L'ÉTUDIANT EN VOYAGEANT.
Ernst Gropp.

L'étudiant en voyageant,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
Peut aller mêm' sans argent,
    Juchheidi, heida.
Toujours heureux en chemin
Qu'importe le lendemain!
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
    Juchheidi, heidi, heida,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
    Juchheidi, heida.


Si le soir dans le village,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
L'étudiant est sans ménage,
    Juchheidi, heida,
Il va droit chez le curé,
Lui dit qu'il est arrivé.
    Juchheidi, etc.

Si dans sa recherch' du beau,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
L'étudiant trouve un tonneau,
    Juchheidi, heida,
S'il contient le vrai liquide,
L'un devient plein, l'autre vide.
    Juchheidi, etc.

De la bière et du fromage,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
Une fille au beau visage,
    Juchheidi, heida,
N'est-ce pas tout ce qu'il lui faut,
Quand d'aimer il a l' défaut?
    Juchheidi, etc.

La moral' de tout ceci,
    Juchheidi, juchheida,
Mesdam's, Messieurs, la voici:
    Juchheidi, heida,
C'est qu'il vaut mieux sur la terre
S'amuser que ne rien faire!
    Juchheidi, etc.

[My rough translation (ignoring the nonsense refrains):]

THE STUDENT TRAVELING.

The student traveling
Can go without money,
Always happy on the road
Whatever happens next day!

If in the evening in the village
The student has nowhere to stay,
He goes straight to the priest,
To tell him he has arrived.

If in his pursuit of beauty,
The student finds a barrel,
If it contains the right liquid,
One becomes full, the other empty.

Some beer and cheese
A girl with beautiful face,
Is that not all he needs,
When he has no choice?

The moral of all this,
Ladies and gentlemen, here it is:
That it is better on earth
To have fun doing nothing!

From: Jim Dixon

From Liederbuch für Deutsche Turner (Braunschweig: George Westermann, [187?]), page 37:

55. TURNERLEBEN.
Weise: Studio auf einer Reis'.

1. Turnersleut' auf einer Reis',
    juchheidi, juchheida
leben ganz auf eigne Weis',
    juchheidi heida
überall durch Dick und Dünn
schlendern sie durchs Dasein hin.
    Juchheidi &c.

2. Kehren sie ermattet ein,
heißt es gleich: gebt Bier und Wein;
dazu tönt mit frischer Lust
dann ein Lied aus voller Brust.

3. Frohen Sinns bei frischem Muth,
Freiheit als das höchste Gut,
so durchwallt der Turnersmann
froh die ganze Lebensbahn.

4. Kommt dann auch der Sensenmann,
schaut er ihn nicht ängstlich an,
schaut ihm grade ins Gesicht,
furchtet seine Sense nicht.

5. Kommt er an die Himmelsthür,
fordert er gleich bairisch
Bier und legt sich mit seinem Glas
dann sofort ins grüne Gras.

6. Drauf zu ihm der Petrus spricht:
Hier im Himmel kneipt man nicht,
sonst schick' ich Beelzebub,
der bringt dich gleich auf den Schub.

7. Alter Petrus, sei gescheut,
nimm was dir ein Turner beut,
trink vom edlen Gerstensaft,
der giebt Mnth und Iugendkraft.

8. Petrus greift zum vollen Glas,
trinkt es aus ohn Unterlaß,
ruft dann frisch, fromm, fröhlich, frei:
hoch leb' doch die Turnern!
