01 JON BRION - (Ode to Solitude - Alexander Pope)

Happy the man, whose wish and care

A few paternal acres bound,

Content to breathe his native air,

In his own ground.

Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,

Whose flocks supply him with attire,

Whose trees in summer yield him shade,

In winter fire.

Blest, who can unconcernedly find

Hours, days, and years slide soft away,

In health of body, peace of mind,

Quiet by day,

Sound sleep by night; study and ease,

Together mixed; sweet recreation;

And innocence, which most does please,

With meditation.

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;

Thus unlamented let me die;

Steal from the world, and not a stone

Tell where I lie.

El poema fué tomado prestado de acá

02 JON BRION - Spotless Mind

03 BECK - Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes

04 GENESIS - Snowbound

Lay your body down upon the midnight snow,
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own,
In a casing that's grown
To a children's delight
That arrived overnight.

And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand.
Here in a world of your own,
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never never know.

Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.

Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see.
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground,
See it rolling away
Wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know.

Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.

Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies the Snowman
Hey he was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.

10 PETER GABRIEL - Wallflower (2011)

6x6 - from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed
They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, they day can be long
You mind is working overtime, you body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out - the light burns your eyes
To the talking room - it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath
They tell you - how to behave, hehave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do

11 PETER GABRIEL - My Head Sounds Like That

The metal jangles as the key turns
Unlock the door, wipe my feet clean
Oh my head sounds like that

The oil is spitting in the saucepan
I squeeze the sponge and let the cat out
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

The water's dripping in the hallway
The guy next door, he knocks his wall down
Oh my head sounds like that

The knife it scrapes across the burnt brown toast
The freight train rumbles past my window
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Around the axis we all spin
To determine what's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
Who's left out and who's left in
Who's left in

The moments come and go like water
I try to hold them but they're fading
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
12 STEVE HACKETT - Kim
13 STEVE HACKETT (Richie Havens) - How Can I

The local radio says sorry time to go
But I don't sleep too well.
Where are those Southern Belles

Tryin to get a telephone line through South Caroline
Your call may bring somebody down for miles around
I'm watching her eyes again.
I won't use no fountain pen.

The lady isn't here. The message wasn't clear.
She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below.

Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again.
Hurry home to see my friend

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
Loving can bring you down so you fall
Then why do you still try to get up at all
Your good and bad side showing through
Problems are a part of you

You must love someone else or face life by yourself
You may expect a call.
She's waiting in the hall

See the garden grows and it grows nobody else knows
And you can wear just any old thing,
the show can begin
I'm falling asleep to dream.
No more hills to climb it seems

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
You never give in
So why don't you sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again
I'll be home to see my friend

05 SEAN DOYLE - The Flower of the County Down

Close to Banbridge town in the County Down on a morning in July,
Down a loanin' sweet came a girl so neat, that I smiled as she passed me by.
She looked so bright with a step as light as the lep of a spring-time Hare,
That I closed my eyes in a wild surprise, to make sure I was standing there.

chorus---
Sure from Scrabo Hill through to Lisnadill and from Comber to Newry town,
There's no girl so neat as that damsel sweet, she's the flower of the County Down.

She'd an eye as lush as a clockin' thrush and such light in her nut brown hair,
That the words I had in my mouth went mad and I stood with my heart all square.
As I onward sped, sure I shook my head and say's I to a passer-by,
"Who's that girl so neat with the twinkling feet?" and I waited for his reply.
chorus
Sure from Scrabo Hill....

To that spot next day, sure I made my way and along came this lovely flower,
At the charming sight sure my heart took flight like a lark in the mid-day hour.
But I stood my ground and I quickly found on my smile she in no-ways frowned,
And such words I said, I will soon be wed, to my flower of the County Down.

06 ANDY IRVINE (The Gathering) - There's Sure To Be A Row

I'm a poor unhappy married man I such an awful wife
Tae please her I do all I can but still she plagues my life
If I do everything that's right she'll find some fault somehow
And If I just stay out all night there's bound tae be a row

There's bound tae be a row, there's bound tae be a row
And if I just stay out all night there's bound tae be a row

She wakes me in the morning in an auwfy cruel way
She kicks me out upon the floor not a hard word do I say
I have to wash my stockings, my shirts and fronts, I vow
And if I don't wash her's as well there's bound tae be a row

There's bound tae be a row, there's bound tae be a row
And if I don't wash her's as well there's bound tae be a row

She's taken in a lodger, he's single by and by
I've had tae get out the double bed and on the sofa lie
He gets the meat, I get the bones,that don't seem right somehow
And if I dare say half as much there's bound tae be a row

There's bound tae be a row, there's bound tae be a row
And if I dare say half as much there's bound tae be a row

Now she sometimes has a party for some friends who dine at eight
And I've tae hurry hame from work tae be on time tae wait
And as they order me about if I don't scrape and bow
And say "yes sir" and "thankee please" there's bount tae be a row

There's bound tae be a row, there's bound tae be a row
And say "yes sir" and "thankee please" there's bound tae be a row

And when I take my wages hame after working all week
I turn her every ha'penny o'er but still she has the cheek
To give me tuppence for myself for that I have to bow
And if I spend it all at once there's sure to be a row

There's bound tae be a row, there's bound tae be a row
And if I spend it all at once there's bound tae be a row

07 GRYPHON - The Unquiet Grave

Cold blows the wind to my true love,
And gently drops the rain.
I've never had but one true love,
And in green-wood he lies slain.

I'll do as much for my true love,
As any young girl may,
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave,
For twelve months and a day.

And when twelve months and a day was passed,
The ghost did rise and speak,
"why sittest thou all on my grave
And will no let me sleep?"

"Go fetch me water from the desert,
And blood from out the stone,
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
That young man never has known."

"My breast is cold as clay,
My breath is earthly strong,
And if you kiss my cold clay lips,
You days they won't be long."

"How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart,
Where we were want to walk,
The fairest flower that e'er I saw
Has withered to a stalk."

"when will we meet again, sweetheart,
When will we meet again?"
"when the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
Are green and spring up again."

08 FUREY BROTHERS - Peggy and the soldier

09 ELIZA CARTHY - Turpin Hero

On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er
I spied a lawyer riding before.
“Kind sir,” said I, “are you afraid,
Of Turpin, that mischievous blade?”

Chorus (after each verse):: O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O

Said Turpin, “He'd ne'er find me o'er
I hid my money in my boot”
The lawyer says, “There's none can find,
I hid my gold in my cape behind.”

As they were riding past the mill
Turpin commands him to stand still;
Says he, “Your cloak I must cut off,
My mare she needs a saddle cloth.”

This caused the lawyer much to fret
To see how simply he'd been took,
But Turpin robbed him of his store
Because he knew he'd lie for more.

On Hounslow Heath as I rode out
I spied a lawyer riding about;
“Now sir,” I said, “Run all you can
From Turpin that mischievous man.”

Chorus (after each verse):: O rare Turpin hero,
O rare Turpin O

Says Turpin, “He'd ne'er find me out
I hid my money in my boot”
Well then says he lawyer, “There's none can find,
My gold, for it's stitched in my coat behind.”

As they rode down by the Powder mill
Turpin demands him to be still;
“Now Sir, your coat I will cut off
For my mare she needs a new saddle cloth.”

As Turpin rode in search of prey
He spied a taxman on the way;
And boldly then he bid him stand,
“Your gold,” he said, “I do demand.”

Oh Turpin then without remorse,
He knocked him quite from off his horse;
And left him on the ground to sprawl
While he rode off with his gold and all.

As Turpin rode on Salisbury plain
He met Lord Judge with all his train;
And hero-like he did approach
And robbed that Judge as he sat in his coach.

Oh Turpin he at last was took
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock,
And carried straight into jail
Where his bad move he does bewail.

Well Turpin is condemned to die,
To hang upon yon gallows high;
Whose legacy is a strong rope,
For the shooting of a dung-hill cock.

11 FLOOK - Wrong Foot Forward
12 FLOOK - Flatfish
13 FLOOK - The Dub Reel

14 JUNE TABOR - Reynard the Fox
15 SWEENEY'S MEN - Reynard the Fox

On the first day of March in the year of ninety-three
The first recreation was in this country
The King's County gentlemen o'er hills, dales and rocks
They rode so joyfuly in search of a fox

Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho hark away
Tally-ho, hark away me boys away, hark away

When Reynard was started he faced Tullamore
And Arklow and Wicklow along the sea shore
We kept his brush in view every yard of the way
And it's straight he made his course for the street of Rosstrade

For Reynard, sly Reynard lay hid there that night
And we swore we would watch him until the daylight
Next morning early the hills did resound
Of the sweet smell of horses and the sweet cry of hounds

When Reynard was started he faced to the hollow
Where none but the footmen and hounds they could follow
The gentlemen cried "Watch him, watch him, what will he do?
If the rocks do not stop him he will cross Killaloe"

When Reynard was captured his wishes to fulfill
He sent for pen and paper and ink to write his will
And what he made mention of, we found it no thank
For he gave us a cheque on the National Bank.

"Oh to you, Mr Casey, I leave my whole estate
And to you, Mr Johnson, my money and my plate
I give to you, Sir Monaghan, my whips, spurs and cap
For you jumped hedge and ditches and ne'er looked for a gap."

-------------------------------------------------------------
recorded by Sweeney's Men on "1968"

This is a completely different song than REYNFOX. As this fox
here seems to be quite human and is chased through the bigger
part of Ireland. I assume that it is a parody based on some
long-forgotten political affair in Ireland, but I really don't
know for sure.

16 THE TWO DUOS QUARTET - Through Lonesome Woods

Andy Irvine - Argentina Tour. Noviembre 2011

2011-09-29T11:26:00.001-03:00

Una “leyenda viviente” del Folk Celta de Irlanda, con una carrera artística que se expande desde mediados de los 60’s hasta la actualidad. Una propuesta imperdible para los amantes de la música.

Cuando uno ve a Andy Irvine tocar en vivo, lo primero que se le viene a la cabeza es: “este tipo tiene dos cerebros… es imposible tocar lo que él toca y cantar a la vez!” Uno no está viendo a alguien que simplemente se acompaña con su instrumento para cantar sus canciones. Es la forma en que estas canciones están arregladas, lo sencillamente magistral. Melodías en contrapunto se entretejen con la melodía principal, rememorando los diseños celtas medievales que acostumbramos a encontrar en libros como “The Book of Kells”.

En una entrevista, confesaría que su secreto es “no concentrarse demasiado en ninguna de las dos cosas”. Una mentira piadosa para ocultar la fría verdad: el hombre tiene dos cerebros… Los casi cincuenta años que lleva sobre los escenarios fueron moldeando su estilo, y él admite que ya no “es tan complicado como solía serlo de joven”... aunque sigue deslumbrando de la misma forma.

Para cualquier “entendido en la materia”, sólo basta con decir que Andy Irvine vuelve al país en Noviembre del 2011. Esta vez, al igual que en el 2004, junto al multi-instrumentista holandés Rens var der Zalm.

Para los que no lo conocen, haremos el inutil esfuerzo de resumir su carrera en unas pocas líneas.

En los años 50’s, como muchos de los jóvenes de su generación en Irlanda e Inglaterra, es atrapado por el “skiffle” (música folk influenciada por el jazz y el blues, con claras raíces norteamericanas) A partir de ese momento deja su precoz carrera de actor y se dedica por completo a la música.

En 1966, forma su primera banda: “Sweeney’s Men”. Ya desde el principio, esta banda es reconocida como un punto de partida muy importante para el “folk revival” que se daría luego (en 2007 ingresa al “Hall de la Fama” de Fiddler’s Green. Co.Down - Andy como solista ya había ingresado en el 2001). Es con esta banda que el “bouzouki” entra en escena. Se trata de una especie de laúd de origen griego, al cual, en Irlanda, le adaptan la afinación y la forma para que se ajuste a las necesidades de la música folk. Hoy, es un instrumento tan popular en muchísimos países de Europa, que es difícil de creer que su historia en la música celta es tan reciente.

En 1971, forma “Planxty” junto a Donal Lunny, Christy Moore y Liam O’Flynn. La totalidad de los músicos folk de Irlanda, reconocen en ella a un hito en la historia de la música del país. El impacto que tuvo Planxty en las generaciones jóvenes fue enorme. Algún periodista escribió alguna vez que es comparable a lo que hicieron los Beatles para con la música pop. Comentario para nada exagerado. Grabaron 6 discos de estudio, se separaron y se volvieron a unir tres veces, siendo la última en el 2004, en donde durante varias noches y con la sala repleta, grabaron un DVD y un CD que captura los inolvidables momentos de esa tercera reunión. Ese mismo año se estrenó un documental de TV sobre la banda (“No Disco”) y se editó un libro (“The humors of Planxty”) con su biografía.

"The Humors of Planxty" de Leagues O'Toole

En 1976, graba junto a Paul Brady, un disco considerado antológico: “Andy Irvine & Paul Brady”. Tanto es así que un tal Bob Dylan grabó versiones propias de dos temas de esa placa.

En los 90’s forma otra de las bandas fundamentales del folk irlandés: “Patrick Street”. Con esta formación, ya lleva 10 álbumes grabados y aún hoy siguen haciendo giras por todo el mundo.

En el 2004, crea “Mozaik” (“la banda de mis sueños”, dijera Andy en una entrevista). Con esta formación, fusiona los tres tipos de música que lo han marcado a lo largo de su vida: el folk de EEUU, la música de Europa del Este, y por supuesto, el folk de Irlanda.

También en el 2004, es convocado para participar de un disco a beneficio: “The Wildlife Charity Album”. Para ese proyecto, entre otras figuras sobresalientes de la música, también fue invitado Ian Anderson (cantante y flautista de la reconocida banda inglesa “Jethro Tull”) quien pidió expresamente participar en “cualquier tema que haga Andy” La canción en cuestión fue “Moreton Bay”.

En el 2010, edita su último trabajo solista “Abocurragh”, producido por su inseparable compañero de ruta Donal Lunny, quien toca en todos los temas del disco. Este trabajo, recibió acalorados elogios por parte de la crítica especializada y la canción “The deamon lover” fue elegida como la mejor canción folk del 2010 por la BBC de Londres.

Rens van der Zalm (violín, guitarra y mandolín), quien lo acompaña en esta gira por Argentina, es uno de los miembros de Mozaik, aparte de ser uno de los músicos de sesión mas requeridos de Holanda, y con una historia musical que comienza en los años 70’s.

Acá hay dos canciones con Rens van der Zalm. No puedo "incrustar" estos videos en el blog, por eso dejo los links

When we first rode down Ettrick,
Our bridles were ringing, our hearts were dancing,
The water was singing, the sun was glancing,
And blithely our voices rang out together,
As we brushed the dew from the blooming heather,
When first we rode down Ettrick.

When we next rode down Ettrick,
The day was dying, the wild birds calling,
The wind was sighing, the leaves were falling,
And tired and weary, but closer together,
We urged our steeds through the faded heather,
When next we rode down Ettrick.

When I last rode down Ettrick,
The wind was shifting, the storm was waking,
The snows were drifting, my heart was breaking,
For never again would we ride together
Through sun or storm on the mountain heather,
When last I rode down Ettrick.

Feel alone now

So the waves and I
Found the rip tide

So the waves and I
Found the rolling tide
So the waves and I

02 PLANXTY - Johnny Of Brady's Lea

Oh, Johnny rose on a May morning, called for water to wash his hands, Says "Bring to me my two grey dogs, lay bound in iron bands."

When Johnny's mother she heard of this, she wrung her hands full sore, Says "Johnny, for your venison to the green woods do not go."

"For there are seven foresters in Esselment, and this you know full well, For one small drop of your heart's blood they would ride to the gates of Hell."

"Oh, there's many men are my friends, Mother, Though many more are my foe. And betide me well or betide me ill, A-hunting I will go."

So Johnny has taken his good bent bow, his arrows one by one, And he's away to Mony Musk for to bring the dun deer down.

Oh, Johnny shot and the dun deer lept, he's wounded her in the side. And between the water and the woods, the two dogs laid her pride.

And they ate so much of the venison, they drank so much of the blood, That Johnny and his two grey dogs fell asleep as if they had been dead.

And by there came a sly old man, a sly old man was he, And he's away to Esselment for to tell on young Johnny.

"As I came in by Mony Musk, and down among yon scroggs, It was there I spied the bonniest dude lying sleeping between two dogs."

"And the buttons that were on his coat were of the gold so good, And the two grey dogs that he lay between, their mouths they were died with blood."

And up and spoke the first forester, he was headsman over them all, "Can this be Johnny of Brady's Lea? Unto him we will crawl."

And the very first shot that the foresters fired, it wounded him in the thigh, And the very next shot that the foresters fired, his heart's blood blinded his eye.

Then up woke Johnny from out of his sleep, an angry man was he. He says "The wildest wolf in all this wood would not have done so by me."

And he's leaned his back against an oak, his foot against a stone, And he has fired on the seven foresters, he's killed them all but one.

And he's broken seven of this man's ribs, his arm and his collarbone, And he has set him on to his horse, to bring the tidings home.

Johnny's good bent bow is broke, and his two grey dogs are slain, And his body lies in Mony Musk, and his hunting days are done.

I come like a comet new born
Like the sun that arises at morning
I come like the furious tempest
That follows a thundercloud's warning
I come like the fiery lava
From cloud-covered mountains volcanic
I come like a storm from the north
That the oceans awake to in panic

I come because tyranny planted
My seed in the hot desert sand
I come because masters have kindled
My fury with every command
I come because man cannot murder
The life-giving seed in his veins
I come because liberty cannot
Forever be fettered by chains

I come because tyrants imagine
That mankind is only their throne
I come because peace has been nourished
By bullets and cannon alone
I come because one world is two
And we face one another with rage
I come because guards have been posted
To keep out the hope of the age

From earliest times the oppressed
Have awaked me and called me to lead them
I guided them out of enslavement
And brought them to high roads of freedom
I marched at the head of their legions
And hailed a new world at its birth
And now I shall march with the peoples
Until they unfetter the earth

And you, all you sanctified moneybags
Bandits anointed and crowned
Your counterfeit towers of justice
And ethics will crash to the ground
I'll send my good sword through your hearts
That have drained the world's blood in their lust
Smash all your crowns and your sceptres
And trample them into the dust

I'll rip off your rich purple garments
And tear them to rags and to shreds
Never again will their glitter
Be able to turn people's heads
At last your cold world will be robbed of
It's proud hypocritical glow
For we shall dissolve it as surely
As sunlight dissolves the deep snow

I'll tear down your cobweb morality
Shatter the old chain of lies
Catch all your blackhooded preachers
And choke them as though they were flies
I'll put a quick end to your heavens
Your gods that are deaf to all prayer
Scatter your futile old spirits
And clean up the earth and the air

And though you may choke me and shoot me
And hang me your toil is in vain
No dungeon, no gallows can scare me
Nor will I be frightened by pain
Each time I'll arise from the earth
And break through all your weapons of doom
Until you are finished forever
Until you are dust in the tomb

The text is a poem by Joseph Bovshover and is from 'American Labour Songs of the 19th Century'. I wrote the music for it in (East) Berlin during the 1982 Festival of Political Song.

12 ROBIN WILLIAMSON - Flower of the briar

esto lo tomé prestado de acá

to the heart of the thunder,
the heart of my sorow
flower of the Briar
come storm sea and gales
out-howl all these words of me
flower of the Briar
and my tears and salt sea spray
flower of the Briar
where the grey gulls and the while gulls
fall wing torn and wounded
at the teeth of the rain
where the grey waves and the white waves
bitter as the grave's edge
bewail the sea's rage
the world and its pain
that this tide should cleave us
but a little while

come shipwreck, come shelter,
come flower of the morning
flower of the Briar
where gates that are broken
and gold as September
flower of the briar
leave old roads their winding
flower of the Briar
from farthings and flinders
and days locked in doggerel
or smoored in bland stone
let love learned from jurymen
marksmen and traitors
cough away behind hand
in the hovel of bone
that this road should bind us
but a little while

I wish I could see by the light moon
and dark moon
flower of the Briar
beyond the whore's

There was a great sense of relief among the band members when Planxty broke up in November 1975. We were tired out and had no inspiration left. After a short period, the relief began to turn into a slight fear as to what we would do without Planxty!
Paul Brady --- who had been in the band for about 16 months - and I had formed a very good working relationship and we decided to continue as a duo. We started slowly...
On February 7th 1976 we played our first gig in The merriman Tavern in Scarriff, Co. Clare where Planxty had been a huge sell out over the years. We had a very small crowd and earned £80! However, things improved quite rapidly. We rehearsed long and hard, usually in the house I was living in, in Donnybrook, Dublin. After a pretty good gig in Liberty Hall, Dublin, we never looked back!

Mulligan Records had started a few months before and approached us to make an LP at Rockfield Studios in Wales where The Bothy Band had recorded their first album. Dónal Lunny was to produce it and he and I got stranded on Shirkin Island off the coast of West Cork the day before we were due to start in Wales. We started recording on 24th August 1976 and finished ten days later. I was on a fitness kick at the time and used to get up early and run for a few miles down the road towards Monmouth and back. This is about all I can remember.
Kevin Burke was there and the album consists of just the four of us. Paul and I and occasionally Dónal, had been playing most of the material for a month or two so it was well played in.

"Lough Erne Shore" though was one that came together in the studio. I recorded three different drones on the hurdy gurdy and we cross faded them on the mix to fit the chords. It's very subtle and you may not hear it but I thought it gave it a great feeling.

The another memory I have is of Paul spending a morning trying to get "Arthur McBride and the Sergeant" recorded to his liking. He recorded one nearly perfect take but when we listned back to it, we heard him sing "....Says Arthur we wouldn't be froud of your clothes"....! Nowadays that could easily be corrected but not in those far off days and he had to do the whole song again!

The album was released, quite near Christmas in 1976 as far as I remember. It has been regarded as a classic ever since and Paul and myself played through our entire duo repertoire at a special concert in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall to commemorate this album in January 2008.

Andy Irvine & Paul Brady
Vicar Street, Friday November 11th

SECOND DATE ADDED SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12th
Doors 7.30pm / show starts 8.30pm

Tickets on sale Friday July 22nd @9am priced €38.60 (including booking fee) from www.ticketmaster.ie & Ticketmaster outlets nationwide. 0818 719 300 - Republic of Ireland customers 0844 277 4455 - Northern Ireland customers 00353 1 456 9569 - International customers

We are delighted to announce a second date for legendary Irish folk duo Andy Irvine & Paul Brady at Vicar Street this November. A momentous occasion for Irish music, these concerts will the two great musicians reunite to recreate the magic of their eponymous self-titled 1976 album on Mulligan Records and the work they collaborated on within Planxty in the mid-1970s.

In 1976 two of Ireland’s greatest musicians recorded an album of traditional tunes and folk songs that was destined to become one of the most enduring folk recordings of the last three decades. Just like the songs contained within it “Andy Irvine and Paul Brady” is a musical document that has been handed down from generation to generation and magically sounds as fresh today as it did then. It is an essential work borne in one of the great fertile periods of Irish music and includes Paul Brady’s definitive version of “Arthur McBride” and Andy Irvine’s soaring opener “Plains of Kildare.”

Irvine and Brady had been playing together in one of the great trad-folk ensembles of 1970s Ireland, Planxty, alongside Dónal Lunny, Liam O’Flynn and Christy Moore. Brady had built up a reputation for interpreting traditional music with incredible pathos and he had been drafted in to replace the departing Moore on Irvine’s suggestion. Brady and Irvine had been friends and mutual admirers since back in the late 1960s when Sweeney’s Men and The Johnstons regularly crossed paths on the Irish folk circuit.

But Planxty disbanded before they got around to recording what would have been their fourth album. Left high and dry with a fantastic repertoire for a new album, Brady and Irvine knew it would be a mistake not to capture this set and the brilliant musical chemistry the duo clearly had. So they did something about it.

The album was released, quite near Christmas in 1976 as far as I remember. It has been regarded as a classic ever since, I think I can speak for both Paul and myself, when I say that we are very proud of this album. It takes a long time to be at a distance from something you recorded and listen to it dispassionately. When I hear that album, I can say it's good without fear of being thought of as conceited. I now hear it objectively, almost as if it was someone else.”

Although Andy and Paul soon drifted off in their own musical directions they remained good friends throughout the years. For various reasons they resisted offers to perform the album live again until two secret shows at the Cherry Tree folk club in Walkinstown in Dublin as a warm up for a special concert in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall to commemorate the album in January 2008. On those nights, the duo performed not just the album but their entire solo repertoire in what has been described as a simply stunning night of music. After many years trying we have finally brought them together again to perform at Vicar Street for a night of wonderful music, which will feature not just many of the great songs and sounds off that legendary album, but also lots of material that the the two have played together over the years.

Respects

Who want to take their clothes off
As long as we can all watch that's okay
And generation sex
Elects
The type
Of guys
You wouldn't leave your kids with
And shouts "off with their heads" if they get laid
Lovers watch their backs
As hacks
In macs
Take snaps
Through telephoto lenses
Chase Mercedes Benzes through the night
A mourning nation weeps
And wails
But keeps
The sales
Of evil tabloids healthy
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Generation sex
Injects
The sperm
Of worms
Into the eggs of field mice
So you can look real nice for the boys
And generation sex
Is me
And you
And we
Should really all know better

09 ROBIN WILLIAMSON - Ring Dance

the great oaks stand five hundred years
as solid as a wall sir
by there comes the North wind
and crashing down they fall sir
the gentle grasses bend and sway
they grow unbroken still sir
the strongest thing a man can do
is change his mind at will sir

all that our poor eyes can see
is like some Northern field sir
the farmer’s gone and the weeds grow there
how little will it yield sir
to us it seems a mountain high
begirt with snow and rain sir
the strongest thing a man can do
is dare to climb again sir

the keepers of the scales and pens
the guardians of our time sir
they ride blindfold down the hill
sat back to fore on swine sir
and every healer that they meet
they nail him to his gate sir
the strongest thing a man can do
is still refuse to hate sir

infinite much I do not know
but this seems plain to me sir
everything we’ve seen this far
ain’t half of what we'll see sir
many people ask of me
what do you believe sir?
how much love a man can give
that love that man receives sir

OVER THE CHIMNEY TOPS
SKYLIGHTS AND SLATES -
LOOKING INTO ALL YOUR LIVES
AND WONDERING WHY
HAPPINESS IS SO HARD TO FIND

OVER THE DOCTOR, OVER THE SOLDIER
OVER THE FARMER, OVER THE POACHER
OVER THE PREACHER, OVER THE GAMBLER
OVER THE TEACHER, OVER THE RAMBLER
OVER THE LAWYER, OVER THE DANCER
OVER THE VOYEUR,OVER THE BUILDER AND THE DESTROYER,
OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

TONIGHT WE FLY
OVER THE MOUNTAINS
THE BEACH AND THE SEA
OVER THE FRIENDS THAT WEVE KNOWN
AND THOSE THAT WE NOW KNOW
AND THOSE WHO WEVE YET TO MEET

AND WHEN WE DIE
OH, WILL WE BE
THAT DISAPPOINTED
OR SAD
IF HEAVEN DOESNT EXIST
WHAT WILL WE HAVE MISSED
THIS LIFE IS THE BEST WEVE EVER HAD

Esta noche volamos
sobre las casas, las calles y los arboles
sobre los perros que están allá abajo
le ladrarán a nuestras sombras mientras flotamos en la brisa

esta noche volamos sobre las chimeneas , rascacielos y pizarras
mirando todas vuestras vidas y preguntándonos porque la felicidad es tan dificil de encontrar

sobre el doctor, sobre el soldado , sobre el agricultor, sobre el cazador, sobre el predicador, sobre el jugador , sobre el profesor , sobre el vagabundo , sobre el abogado , sobre el bailarín , sobre el voyeur , sobre el constructor y el destructor, sobre los cerros

esta noche volamos sobre las montañas ,
la playa y el océano
sobre los amigos que conocimos,
y aquellos que conocemos
y aquellos que aun no conocemos

y cuando muramos,
estaremos desilusionados o tristes si el cielo no existe?
Que nos habremos perdido?
Esta vida es lo mejor que jamás hemos tenido

Mi amigo Alejo Schatzky saca fotos. De vez en cuando las expone.

y su amigo Juan Falú dice esto,

¿Por qué yo?, me pregunté cuando Alejo me pidió escribir estas líneas. ¿Por qué yo, que nunca saqué una foto en treinta años de viajes por el mundo? Estas palabras, por tanto, sólo pueden ser la búsqueda de la respuesta a aquella pregunta. Tal vez podría plantear otra pregunta: ¿por qué Alejo se emociona hasta las lágrimas cuando escucha una guitarra, o una canción? ¿Cómo somos los Alejos y Juanes de todos los días, ante el arte que es revelador? Y, como siempre sucede cuando se pretende intelectualizar las zonas de los misterios, las respuestas son banales y la pregunta sigue siendo esencial. Sobran las palabras, mi querido Alejo. Espero de tus fotografías la misma generosa emoción que disparan en vos las guitarras o una canción. Espero de todo artista y de todas las fotos y todas las guitarras, la misma comunión que nos hace crecer, transformarnos y sentir dolores, amores, felicidades, porque siento que ésa es la convocatoria del arte. Y por eso el arte es refugio y tiempo, y la mejor metáfora de la libertad que luego alimenta las conciencias. “En algo nos parecemos” (“luna de mi soledad”) y creo que es en el cobijo que da la tierra a tus fotos, a tus fotografiados y al fotógrafo. He visto en algunas de ellas tanta melancolía en un junco como en la mirada de un niño, y me impresiona sentir que, en la sutileza de la luz y sus tonalidades, pareciera que salen fotografiados el aire y el tiempo. Para mí, eso es casi todo y no necesito más. De lo otro, o de la técnica, que hablen los que saben (o sea, vos mismo)
Te mando un fuerte abrazo

NoCrows
en los siete bosques

En el programa de este miércoles (18-mayo-2011), vamos a pasar una charla (vía Skype) con Anna y Felip, de esta banda con base en Sligo, Irlanda...

Página Oficial: http://nocrows.net/

MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/NoCrows

Canal de YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/nocrows

Un poco de historia personal:

Esto mismo, ya lo conté en el post en donde está la primer charla que tuvimos con Felip... la verdad es que me había olvidado que ya lo había contado... Pero como ya lo escribí, lo dejo. Hay dos formas de ver la cuestión: la positiva es que no me contardije en lo mas mínimo. La negativa es que mi memoria deja mucho que desear...

En enero de 1997, vi esta publicidad en la revista "Irish Music", publicación a la cual estaba suscripto y recibía en casa todos los meses. En ese momento, no conocía a la banda Dervish, pero al ver que entre sus instrumentos armónicos, había una mandola y un bouzouki y siendo yo por ese entonces (y aún lo sigo siendo) fanático a muerte de los Planxty, me dije: "es muy probable que me guste" y acto seguido (tristes tiempos del menemismo, en donde un peso argentino, valía un dólar) encargué toda su discografía (creo que eran 4 CDs)

Efectivamente, me gustaron mucho (considero que son una de las grande bandas del folk irlandés) y decidí escribirles un mail para hacérselos saber.

Mi sorpresa fue muy grande, cuando recibí la respuesta en español. Es que hacía muy poco, la banda contaba con un nuevo manager de Palma de Mallorca, que se había mudado a Sligo. Su nombre era Felip Carbonell. A partir de ese entonces, primero vía email y luego personalmente (durante las veces que fui a Irlanda, siempre me hospedó en su casa, cosa que nunca voy a terminar de agradecer!) fuimos construyendo esta especie de amistad a la distancia. Esta es la segunda charla con Felip que pasamos en el programa. La primera fue hace 4 años (si mal no recuerdo). En ese entonces NoCrows, había sacado su primer disco (grabado en vivo en el pub "The Strand" sito en Strandhill, Sligo - que lugar, por Dios!!!). Ahora van por su tercer disco y ya tienen un lugar, muy bien ganado, dentro de la escena folk en Irlanda, si bien lo que ellos hacen no es estrictamente folk irlandés.

Traducción del curriculum de cada uno de los integrantes. Esto figura en su página web, pero en inglés...

ANNA HOUSTON

Anna Houston estudió chelo en el Conservatorio de su ciudad natal, Berna, Suiza, desde los 9 años de edad. A lo largo de su adolescencia tocó en diversas orquestas, tríos y cuartetos, y también grabó contrabajo y chelo con varios cantautores.

En su adolescencia se interesó mucho en la música tradicional irlandesa y se mudó a Irlanda en 1991. Aunque se formó en música clásica, tocando el cello, es también una consumada banjista y mandolinista.

En 1993 conoció a arpista y cantante Deirdre Byron-Smith, y comenzó a actuar como un dúo de arpa y violonchelo. Duo que fuera el corazón de la renombrada banda de Sligo "Cadenza", que grabó dos discos de canciones originales y composiciones instrumentales, "Making Waves" en 2000, y "Attic Notes" en 2004. Ambos discos recibieron elogios de la crítica y la banda recorrió extensamente en el país y el extranjero.

Anna ha tocado con diversos músicos como Mike Scott y Steve Wickham (The Waterboys), Dervish, The Sligo Early Music Ensemble, con quien ha hecho varias apariciones.

Ha hecho arreglos y grabado material con bandas de Sligo, incluyendo “Thouse nervous Animals”, Cathy Jordan, Blennerhassett James, Steve Wickham y muchos otros.

Anna también enseña chelo y banjo en “Academia de Música de Sligo” y cuenta con numerosos talleres de música para niños.

STEVE WICKHAM

Steve Wickham empezó a tocar el violín a los 3 años. Más tarde, estudió en el “Royal College of Music” de Dublín. En 1982 conoció a 'The Edge' en una parada de autobús, y terminó grabando "Sunday Bloody Sunday" y yendo de gira con U2.

En la misma época, Steve y un par de compañeros formaron 'In Tua Nua ", banda que incluyó a Sinead O Connor como una de sus vocalistas. En 1985, después de algunas sesiones de grabación en Londres, la banda "The Waterboys" lo reclutó como miembro estable e hizo muchos discos con ellos, incluyendo el antológico "This is the sea" y "Fisherman's Blues".

Steve es un músico secionista muy respetado y ha grabado con Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Sinead O Connor, World Party, y más recientemente con Declan O'Rourke.

Sigue siendo parte de "The Waterboys" y ha publicado recientemente 'Jerónimo' su primer disco solista. Muchos músicos de Sligo participaron en Geronimo, incluyendo al “bodhran maestro” Davey Junior, la chelista Anna Houston, guitarrista y flautista Tommy Scanlon, y la arpista Deirdre Byron Smith. Otros invitados fueron el tecladista de Waterboys, Richard Naiff y Henry (hermano de Steve), en guitarra.

FELIP CARBONELL

Felip Carbonell nació en una familia musical. Desde niño, Felip siempre estuvo rodeado de música de todo tipo, pero no fue hasta que su padre lo llevó a ver un concierto de Raimon, que Felip encontró su vocación. Tenía 9 años y en esta primera etapa se hizo consciente de la situación política de su país. Poco después, consiguió su primera guitarra y empezó a aprender música y a seguir los movimientos musicales y políticos contra la dictadura de Franco. Tres años más tarde comenzó a escribir canciones en catalán (su idioma nativo), influenciado principalmente por cantautores como Raimon, Lluís Llach y Quico Pi de la Serra de Cataluña, o Víctor Jara de Chile.

A los 19 años, Felip hizo su debut como solista en el Bar Terra en Palma, un lugar de música alternativa en la ciudad. También formó su primera banda, “Camamil.la”, junto con el percusionista y vocalista Toni Amengual Cati Llull con quien trabajaría en varios proyectos en el futuro.

En 1990, con una de sus bandas más exitosas, “Tumbet”, lanzó su composición “Fer Cantó”, un poema urbano sobre las drogas y la prostitución que recibió varios premios, y gran difusión en toda España. Otra de sus canciones, “Païs de la Felicitat” también se incluyó en un álbum recopilatorio español y fue editado por “AZ Records”

En 1998 se trasladó a Sligo, donde empezó a trabajar como manager de banda tradicional Dervish. Desde 2004 dio una serie de conciertos de su proyecto “Els Ritmes de la Mar”, con un grupo de músicos internacionales con sede en Sligo y en Mallorca.

Aparte de NoCrows, Felip toca en una serie de bandas de Jazz & Latin y toca regularmente entre otros, con Mike Nielsen, Ray Coen, JazzTam, The Vendetta Orchestra y Rumbatism. Ha grabado como músico de sesión con Yvonne Cunningham, The Vendetta Orchestra y el grupo mallorquín de jazz “Katau”

Eddie Lee

Nacido en Dublín en 1961, se crió en Sligo y ahí se empapa de su música. Autodidacta, con una carrera de 30 años como bajista, productor, compositor y secionista, Eddie ha realizado giras a nivel internacional y grabado con muchos de los mejores artistas de Irlanda. En el mundo del rock y el pop Eddie ha trabajado con The Pale, Turner Julieta, Taylor Buck, Thouse Nervous Animal, Brian Kennedy, Auto da Fé, Katell Keineg, Nine Wassies from Bainne; en el folk, con Stockton’s Wing, Maura O’ Connell, Dolores Keane, Kieran Goss, John Faulkner, Frances Black, Gary O’ Briain, Colm O’Donnell, Seamie O’ Dowd, Speranza, Dervish y Café Orchestra.

Eddie también ha colaborado en proyectos con Enya, Bill Whelan, Donal Lunny y co-producido muchas grabaciones en una gran variedad de géneros en los últimos años.

Nota del traductor: hay demasiados nombres y me cansé de poner los links!!! se recomienda seleccionar el texto, apretar botón derecho y... "buscar en Google" :)

Eddie ha jugado un papel importante en el desarrollo de la escena del jazz de Irlanda en los últimos años, siendo administrador de la escuela y festival de verano “Sligo Jazz Project”, tocando con Andreas Varady, Lyttle David, Michael Buckley, Buckley Richie , Justin Carroll, Sean Hession, Michael Nielsen, Stewart Louis y artistas internacionales de jazz como Sandro Gibellini (Italia), Cleveland Watkiss, Goldsby John, Michael Manring y Clarvis Pablo.

Eddie ha estado enseñando bajo y teoría musical en Sligo desde 1999 y es un co-fundador y director de la “Escuela de Música Contemporánea de Sligo”.

Regularmente toca como bajista con NoCrows

OLEG Ponomarev

Nacido en Khabarovsk, Rusia, Oleg Ponomarev es violinista, bajista, pianista, guitarrista, compositor, arreglador, productor, cantante, profesor, ciclista y co-fundador de la "PRODUCCIONES DOGGYBAG".
Se trasladó a Moscú a una edad muy temprana a estudiar música con sus abuelos y comenzó a viajar con los miembros de su familia poco después. Encontrarse con Yehudi Menuin en escena en París debe ser uno de los momentos más memorables de su carrera como artista.

Después de girar con la banda rusa/gitana “Loyko” por 10 años y grabar más de veinte álbumes, Oleg finalmente se estableció en Irlanda.
Actualmente está trabajando con tantos proyectos que es casi imposible nombrarlos a todos. Estos son algunos de las más relevantes: Yurodny, Koshka, Cafe Orchestra, Caroline Moreau, The Hot Club of Dublín y NoCrows.

En el contexto de NoCrows, el estilo gitano de Oleg es el complemento perfecto para el sonido de la banda. El fuego y la electricidad brindados en el escenario es algo muy especial y único que tiene que ser experimentado al menos una vez en la vida.

Esto que sigue es una especie de "homenaje" a las fiestas (allá, a comienzos de los 80s) en el Club San Fernando. No me acuerdo el nombre del DJ. Lo que si me acuerdo es que era un cheto del carajo y los "nadies" como nosotros lo admirábamos secretamente...

En esa época se pasaba una "tanda de lentos" en los bailes. Y se iba "bajando" de a poco, hasta llegar al climax en donde todos buscábamos desesperadamente algún tipo de conquista...

Según mi standard actual, la calidad de los temas que sonaban en ese momento (los que siguen son una muestra), va desde "bueno", hasta "absolutamente deplorable", pasando por todos los grises posibles.

09 PLANXTY - You rambling boys of pleasure

You rambling boys of pleasure, give ear to those few lines I write,
Although I'm a rover, and in roving I take great delight.
I cast my mind on a handsome girl who ofttimes she does me slight,
But my mind is never easy till my true love is in my sight.

Down by yon flow'ry gardens, where me and my true love do meet,
I took her in my arms, and unto her gave kisses sweet
She bade take love easy, just as the leaves fall from the tree.
But I was young and foolish, with my true love could not agree.

And the second time I met my love, I thought that her heart was surely mine.
But as the season changes, my darling girl has changed her mind
Gold is the root of evil, although it bears a glistening hue
Causes many the lad and the lass to part, though their hearts, like mine, be e'er so true.

Sure I wish I was in Belfast town, and my true love along with me.
With money in my pocket to keep us in good company.
Liquor to be plenty, a flowing glass on every side,
Hard fortune would ne'er daunt me, for I am young and the world is wide.

Optional last verse:

But there's one thing more that grieves me sore is to be called a runaway
And to leave the spot I was born in, oh Cupid cannot set me free,
And to leave that darling girl I love, oh alas, what will I do?
Will I become a rover, sleep with the girl I never knew?

10 HAROULA ROSE (2011) - Love Will Follow
11 ERLAND & THE CARNIVAL (2010) East & West
12 KING CREOSOTE (2003) Lavender Moon

de acá saqué la letra:

Had a dream last night of you
Wandering down an empty street from down a lane
So I ran up to you tripping over cobble stones
when I awoke alone and in vain
I felt empty and confused
I sat there with your clothes near me
I reached up and grabbed a lamplight
Which fell and broke

I stared through empty eyes
Of lavender moon and I
Far beyond your tears now
Still outside in the mist, drenched to the bone
And you sang Everything’s all right

We’d walked through summer fields
Live the life of sin (?), cry on hard walls together, we did everything
Well at night we talked and talked
Questioned what the future embraced
Hugging perfect shapes all day
We’d lie and sleep in

But now you’ve left and gone
And all I have are memories of you
They return to me when I’m asleep
When dreams...
What I was, it was true (?)

Do you have a headache, my son
Do you have a headache
Or is it your kidneys, my son
Or is it your kidneys

I don't have a headache, mother
I don't have a headache

About last night

She has agreed, mother
She has agreed
My first true love, mother
And she's getting married

07 donovan - Legend of a Girl Child Linda

I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze.
Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes.
A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic of a timeless place.
One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves
That rest on their hands with the touch of love.
On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down
And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown.
And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea
As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree.
The doves circle over and land in the trees
Where parrots are talking their words with such ease.
Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day:
"There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away."
If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers
To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers.
The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away
And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay.
>From out of the sun a giant gull came flying
And the children got ready to sit on its wings.
They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees
The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea.
They came to the castle and there they did fall,
And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall.
A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind
Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind.
The clash of bright metal brought the children fear,
But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears.
Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name
All the golden children became a golden chain.
It lies on a white throne in a magic place
With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace.
My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake
In a dream I was told that my princess would wake.

08 donovan - Quuen Mab

09 donovan - Celeste

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try
The changes I'm going through ?
A hidden lie would fortify
Something that don't exist
But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad,
So many more things to do,
I intend to come right through them all with you.
My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind
We talk a while by a crooked stile,
You're lucky to catch a few.
There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand,
It's a pleasure to be true.
In my crystal halls a feather falls
Being beautiful just for you
But that might not be quite true, that's up to you.
Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake
A strange young girl sang her songs for me
And left 'fore the day was born.
That dark princess with saddening jest
She lowered her eyes of woe,
And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try
The changes she's going through
But I hope love comes right through them all with you.

Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
Louis ran forward from the line
I never saw him again
Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis’ voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn’t get to him
He’s still up on that hill
20 years on that hill
Nothing more than a pile of bones
But I think of him still
If I was asked I’d tell
The colour of the earth that day
It was dull and browny red
The colour of blood, I’d say

Pausa de la Pausa

2011-03-14T18:21:00.001-03:00

En Abril de 2011 nos vamos a tomar un descanso de la pausa que emprendiéramos allá por Octubre de 2010... Y bue... hay cosas peores...

Pausa

2010-10-15T09:14:00.007-03:00

Luego de un año (2006) en FM La Otra. 107.7Mhz de Lago Puelo y tres años y medio (2007-hasta la fecha) en FM Alas. 89.1Mhz de El Bolsón, la producción del programa tiene el enorme agrado de informar que se va a dejar de romper las pe-BIIIP-s con esta musiquita de mi-BIIIIP-a por un buen rato.

La tripulación de "En los siete bosques" agradece enormemente el habernos elegido durante todos estos años. A los que nos eligieron, claro... los que no, se pueden ir bien a la rep-BIIIIIIP-a madre que los pa-BIIIIII-o! Gracias por la compañía a los amigos que nos bancaron, a la radio, a los que escuchaban, a los que cambiaban de dial (y si... siempre hay algún fo-BIIIIIP-o por ahí) gracias, gracias, gracias...

Pero no desesperéis (o no os alegréis tanto) que algún día de estos, quien sabe, volvemos...

En los dos programas que quedan (los dos últimos miércoles de Octubre de 2010) pasaremos algo de esto, en el orden que se nos cante el c-BIIIP-lo...

NOTA de último momento: dado que el último miércoles es el censo nacional, este miércoles, o sea, hoy, o sea el 20/10/2010 es el último programa...

Todas son canciones o melodías que ya han pasado por el programa. Son de las que más me gustan.

The Parting Glass

Of all the money e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm I've ever done,
Alas! it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town,
That sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,
I own she has my heart in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.

Gracias, gracias, gracias... muchas gracias!!!

03 CHRISTY MOORE - Compañeros

The good ship Granma lies at anchor in the harbour
Waiting for the evening tide to rise and bring high water.
Bound for Cuba she must go across the Gulf of
Mexico and The Caribbean Ocean
She's carrying a human cargo 83 good compañeros
Each one burning with determination to be free

Chorus

Against Batista, The Fidelistas, courage was their armour
As they fought at Fidel's side with Che Guevara.

Ten days out from Mexico these Compañeros
Landed on the Cuban beach Los Colorados
Fidel said this year will see our country and our people free Or else we will be martyrs
We've only guns enough for 20 the enemy has arms a plenty
Meet him and defeat him and he'll keep us well supplied

Chorus

Five weeks later in the Cañon Del Rio
Fidels army was reduced to 18 Companeros
Hungry, weak and unafraid, learning revolutions trade in the high Sierra Maestra
Where the mountain winds did blow bearing seeds to sprout and sow
New crops in Cuban soil that marked the death of slavery

Chorus

Compañeros, tu valaderos (?)
Courage was their armour as they fought
at Fidel's side with Che Guevara

They made their way across the peak of El Torquino
Joined by bands of volunteers and the men from Santiago
They faced Batista's tanks and trains,
drove them back across the plains,
from the high Sierra Maestra
They drove the gangsters from Los Vios
straight across the Cordileros
Santa Barbra fell to Che Guevara and was free.
The fire lit on that Cuban beach by Fidel Castro
Still shines all the way to Tierra del Fuego
Sparks are blown upon the breeze,
people rise from off their knees when they see the night is burning.
It blazes up in Venezuela, Bolivia and Guatemala
Lights the road that we must go in order to be free

I HAVE drunk ale from the Country of the Young
And weep because I know all things now:
I have been a hazel-tree, and they hung
The Pilot Star and the Crooked Plough
Among my leaves in times out of mind:
I became a rush that horses tread:
I became a man, a hater of the wind,
Knowing one, out of all things, alone, that his head
May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair
Of the woman that he loves, until he dies.
O beast of the wilderness, bird of the air,
Must I endure your amorous cries?

levantate de tu lecho niña mia
ven al lado del mar
que anque vengas solita
alguan compa ñia encontraras.

En la torre del palacio real,
aunque todavía está lejos el día,
se mueven los lienzos de una cama;

Es la princesa! "Dios la ha salvado!

11 CORQUIEU - La Molinera

Cuanta maxa lleves dientro
pa facer farina d´agua
viendo dar vueltes les mueles
pasa adulces la ivernada.

Naguo por ser la farina
que selemente calistra
los poros de la camisa
qu´endolca la to natura d´agua
si supieras que te quiero
amurniarías la mirada.

Siguiré siendo furtiva
sabiamente amatagada
ente fatos perxuicios
que la sociedá nos instaura
siguiré siendo furtiva
sabiamente amatagada

Naguando por un futuru
enllenu d´esperanza
suañando colos placeres
de los qu´agora toi privada
si albidrara que me quieres
morrería esgaloyada
nun habría home en tierra
que conociera dicha más alta.

Solamente camentalo
camuda´l xeitu la mio cara
apigazar na to vera
esconsonar na to cama
ser parte de la to vida
ser la familia que te falte
si supieras molinera
cuanto te quiero mío alma

Quien fuera l´agua que mueve
el molín de la to casa
pa ser parte la to vida
y dexar de vivir arrequexada
por una sociedá inxusta
que castiga a la llesbiana
que toes llevamos dientro
soterrándola pa que nun salga

si supieras molinera
cuanto te quiero mio alma
apizagar na to vera
esconsonar na to cama
si supieras molinera
cuanto te quiero mio alma
apizagar na to vera
esconsonar na to cama.

traducción

Cuanta magia llevas dentro, para hacer harina del agua
el invierno pasa lentamente viendo dar vueltas las muelas

Quisiera ser la harina que suavemente empapa la camisa
que envuelve tu naturaleza de agua
si supieras que te quiero, fruncirias el ceño

Seguiré siendo furtiva, sabiamente refugiada
entre tontos perjuicios que la sociedad nos instaura
seguiré siendo furtiva, sabiamente refugiada.

Esperando un futuro lleno de esperanzas,
soñando con los placeres de los que ahora estoy privada

si vislumbrara que me quieres moriría contenta,
no habría nadie en la tierra que conociera dicha más alta.

Solamente piénsalo, cambia el gesto de mi cara,
dormir a tu lado, despertar en tu cama
ser parte de tu vida, ser la familia que te falte,
si supieras molinera, cuanto te quiero, mi alma

Quien fuera el agua que mueve el molino de tu casa,
para ser parte de tu vida, y dejar de vivir arrinconada por una
sociedad injusta que castiga a la lesbiana que todas
llevamos dentro, enterrándola para que no salga

si supieras molinera cuanto te quiero, mi alma,
dormir a tu lado despertar en tu cama

04 PLANXTY - The ramblin siuler

Oh the highland lands are come to town
And landed in head waters.
The colonel fell for a pretty little girl,
The farmer's only daughter.
The general bet five thousand pounds
The colonel wouldn't dress up in a beggars gowns,
Would she travel the world around and round,
Would she go with the rambling siuler.

Oh the colonel started out next day,
Dressed in beggars clothing.
It wasn't long til he found his way
To the farmer's lowly dwelling,
"Oh farmer shelter me for the night,
I'll sleep in your barn until daylight,
Take pity on a beggar's awful plight,
God help a rambling siuler."

The farmer said, "The night is wet,
You can come to the kitchen fire."
The colonel says to the serving maid,
"It's you I do admire,
Would you leave them all and come with me,
Leave them all my stor mo chroi"
"What a lusty beggar you must be,
Away with the rambling siuler!"

The farmer and his servants all
They fell into loud laughter
When who came tripping down the stairs
But the farmer's only daughter,
She'd two bright eyes like the morning skies
Soon as the beggar he did her spy
She fairly caught his roving eye,
"She'll be mine," says the rambling siuler.

And the farmer and his servants all
They went out to the byre.
He put his arm around her waist
As they sat by the kitchen fire,
He put his hand upon her knee,
Unto her gave kisses three,
Says she, "How dare you make so free
And it's you but a rambling siuler."

When supper it was over
They made his bed in the barn
Between two sacks and a winnow cloth
for fear that he take harm
At twelve o'clock that very night
She came to the barn,
She was dressed in white
The beggar rose in great delight,
"She's mine," says the rambling siuler.

And he threw off his beggar's clothes,
He threw them against the wall.
He stood the bravest gentleman
That was among them all
Will you look at my locks of golden hair
Under this sooty old hat I wear
"I'm a colonel bold I do declare, and none but a rambling siuler."

"And I wouldn't for one hundred pounds
That you and I be found here
Would you travel around the whole night long
And go with the rambling siuler,"
So it's off to the general's house they've gone
Great is the wager he has won
And away to the sound of the fife and the drum
She's away with the rambling siuler.

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonderbread
And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
The Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first , I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light
They're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
He told me that I'd done all right
And kissed me until the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me until the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of Wonderbread
And went right back to bed
We couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

01 GRáDA (2004) Endeavour

The sun rose, in the year of seventeen sixty-nine
If you looked up, you'd have seen a ship out to sea
With a masthead like you'd never seen
It was clear they were not from these seas
They were sailing on a ship called Endeavour

Six months, travelling to their dream land
Or so its been told
Trees full of flowers and the golden sand
Gradient of every degree
And no, this is not what they came to see
Most were seeking rewards for their endeavour

Step out, it makes your heart burn
How flames scorched the land
Like creatures, tearing up what remained
But who can say, it would have been better
Or it would have been the same
Without the sailing of the Endeavour.

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

11 PETER GABRIEL My Head Sounds Like That

The metal jangles as the key turns
Unlock the door, wipe my feet clean
Oh my head sounds like that

The oil is spitting in the saucepan
I squeeze the sponge and let the cat out
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

The water's dripping in the hallway
The guy next door, he knocks his wall down
Oh my head sounds like that

The knife it scrapes across the burnt brown toast
The freight train rumbles past my window
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Around the axis we all spin
To determine what's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
What's left out and what's left in
Who's left out and who's left in
Who's left in

The moments come and go like water
I try to hold them but they're fading
Oh my head sounds like that
Oh my head
Oh oh oh

12 PETER HAMMILL - Sleep Now

Sleep now, another day in your young lives is done,
go to sleep now; tomorrow brave new worlds
will surely come, go to sleep;
you're such a wonder, such a mystery to me.

Somewhere your future friends are lying as you are
and your lovers right now are only crying babes in arms
oh, the world turns under our feet, our lives are passing by
in our sleep.

So soon you'll be gone to that wide world
the tunes of adulthood calling little girls.

Remember, whatever else in life you find to doubt,
do remember, although you hear him mostly in a shout,
your father loves you
as though he never knew the meaning of the words until just now.

So soon you'll be gone to that wide world
one tune of childhood I sing my little girls....

Sleep now, one day I'll tell you how my life has been.
Oh, so strange to think your eyes will fall on things
that mine have never seen, these eyes that gently flicker
in some lost childhood dream.

Sleep now, safe and warm in the haven of your bed,
go to sleep now.... although you won't remember what I've said,
your father loves you
as though he never knew the meaning of the words until just now,
as though he never knew the meaning of the words.

13 SARAH MCLACHLAN (2007) Blue

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey Blue, THERE is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you

Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll HEAR a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me

10 JOANNA NEWSOM - Jackrabbits

I was tired of being drunk.
My face cracked like a joke.
So I swung through here
like a brace of jackrabbits,
with their necks all broke.

I stumbled at the door with my boot,
and I knocked against the jam.
and I scrabbled at your chest, like a mute,
with my fists of ham.
trying to tell you that I am
telling you I can--
I can
love you again;
love you again.

I'm squinting towards the East.
My faith makes me a dope.
But you can take my hand,
in the darkness, darling,
like a length of rope.
I shaped up overnight, you know,
the day after she died.
when I saw my heart,
and I'll tell you, darling,
it was open wide.
what with telling you I am
telling you I can--
I can
love you again;
love you again.

It can have no bounds, you know.
It can have no end.
You can take my hand
in the darkness, darling,
when you need a friend.
And it can change in shape or form,
but never change in size.
Well the water, it ran deep, my darling,
where it don't run wide.

The feather of a hawk was bound,
bound around my neck;
a poultice made of fig,
the eager little vultures pecked.
And a verse I read in jest
in Matthew, spoke to me;
said There's a flame that moves
like a low-down pest
and says, You will be free

only, tell me that I can
tell me that I can:
I can love you again;
love you again.

07 COLDPLAY - Amsterdam

Come on, my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If i, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole
Come here my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It's no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It's no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose.

08 BLUR - 1992

Going into business
An agreement of your bombast
You'd love my bed
You took the other instead
But don't you feel low
I was being oblique
And you'd love my bed
You got the other instead

What do you owe me?
The price of your piece of mind
You'd love my bed
You took the other instead

08 BECK - It's all in your mind

Well it's all in your mind
It's all in your mind
Well it's all in your mind

And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Wanted to be your good friend

Well I cannot believe
You got a devil up your sleeve
And he's talking to me
And I cannot believe

And I wanted to be
I wanted to be your good friend

You're all scared and stiff
A sick stolen gift
And the people you're with
They're all scared and stiff

And I wanted to be

09 THE DIVINE COMEDY - Songs of Love

Pale, pubescent beasts
Roam through the streets
And coffee-shops
Their prey gather in herds
Of stiff knee-length skirts
And white ankle-socks
But while they search for a mate
My type hibernate
In bedrooms above
Composing their songs of love

Young, uniform minds
In uniform lines
And uniform ties
Run 'round
With trousers on fire
And signs of desire
They cannot disguise
While I try to find words
As light as the birds
That circle above
To put in my songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
So sing while you have time
Let the sun shine down from above
And fill you with songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
So let's sing while we still can
While the sun hangs high up above
Wonderful songs of love
Beautiful songs of love

At the Eight Mile Bridge in the county Down
I had honest parents of fame and renown
Oh had I been obedient and kept the command
I never would have broken the laws of the land

Right follow the Dee

My parents endeavoured to give me honest bread
They bound me apprentice unto the linen trade
All to an honest weaver thet lived hard by
My heart was for rambling I could not comply

One beautiful creature, Jane Sharkey by name
I gained her affections and I was to blame
I own I enticed her and we ran away
My troubles began from the very same day

That beautiful creature I soon left forlorne
For fear of her parents I stepped up the Mourne
But her cruel father pursued me with spite
He made me his prisoner that very same night

It's off to Newry guardhouse straight way I was sent
To whip me next morning it was their intent
When I heard of this, it put me in a fright
I broke Newry guardhouse the very same night

And the guards they pursued me the very next day
The guards I beguiled and I soon got away
I went down to the shore where a vessel it did lay
I set my foot on shipboard to England sailed away

And then when that I landed in sweet Holyhead
I had no honest means for to earn me my bread
And I was loathe to beg but alas I did worse
To make myself money I stole a grey horse

And it's then when I landed once more on Irish ground
I soon began my tricks again near a fair in Newry town
For I stole a hat from one Thomas Right
He made me his prisoner that very same night

And it's off to Newry guardhouse once more I was sent
To hang me next morning it was their intent
When I heard of this well it put me in a fright
I knocked down the turnkey and escaped the same night

And the guards they pursued me again the next day
The guards I soon beguiled and once more I got away
Said one unto the other "He'll travel no more"
The very same night Newry Lough I swam o'er

And I rested myself for a day or two in moor
I went to rob a Bleachcream fair I never was before
But they were strong with guards and the Bleachcream within
Surrounded was poor Roger and taken was again

Now Roger was taken but often did get free
It's come now to his turn for to march to the tree
And all his foolish actions he there did declare
And that put an end to old Roger O'Hehir

-----------------------------------------------------------------
recorded by Planxty on "The Woman I Loved So Well" (1980)

"Again we have to thank Sam Henry for this tale. Roger never amounted to much, we fear. He seems to have been best at breaking out of jail. As a petty criminal he was definitely a failure and he even seems fairly relieved himself when faced with the gallows in the last verse"
A. Irvine

Oh, the optimist

Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead
Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed
As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong
The notion that future events must go on
No matter the turn out is right or is wrong

They trusted you
And all the things you often made them do, and now
Everyone smilin'
Telling me I've got to trust you to Do no wrong
'Cause if you do, You just won't
live as long, and now
Everyone's cryin'
Someone's telling them to just stop trying

Given some truth, Call it a lie
Given some action, Ask yourself why
This body is slow, And it's seen it's best days
My truth is uncovered, My negative ways
I'm one of the people I struggle to praise

Oh, the pessimist

Teach me to follow, But never to lead
Teach me to stay down, And never succeed
When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit
The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit
I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit

They trusted you
With all the things you often made them do, and now
Everyone smillin'
Telling me I've got to trust you to Do no wrong
'Cause if you do, You just won't
live as long, and now
Everyone's smilin'
Someone's telling them to just stop trying

I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair
To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there

None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge
Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead"

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she

She'd not pulled a double rose, a rose but only two
When up there came young Tam Lin says "Lady, pull no more"

"And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me?"
"I'll come and go", young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee"

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she

Well, up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild
"Oh, and alas, Janet," he said, "I think you go with child"

"Well, if that be so," Janet said, "myself shall bear the blame
There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name

For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey
I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have"

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she

"Oh, tell to me, Tam Lin," she said, "why came you here to dwell?"
"The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell

And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell
I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself

But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride
Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy

So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown
Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down

For I'll ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town
For I was an earthly knight, they give me that renown

Oh, they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake
But hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's father

And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold
But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child

And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight
But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight"

In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring
She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win

Then up spoke the Faery Queen, an angry queen was she
Woe betide her ?ill-fought? face, an ill death may she die

"Oh, had I known, Tam Lin," she said, "what this knight I did see
I have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree

Versión en español del cuento por Laura Canteros. Tomada de aquí

TAM LIN

Janet, la hermosa hija de un conde de las Tierras Bajas, vivía junto a su padre en un castillo de piedra gris rodeado por verdes praderas. Un día, cansada de coser en su gabinete y de jugar largas partidas de ajedrez con las damas de la corte de su padre, se puso un vestido verde, trenzó su pelo rubio y salió sola a dar un paseo por los frondosos bosques de Carterhaugh.

El sol doraba los claros silenciosos donde el césped era tan mullido como una alfombra. Bajo la sombra verde crecían exuberantes las rosas silvestres y los largos tallos de las campanillas blancas formaban un dosel sobre los senderos.

Janet extendió la mano y cortó una rosa blanca para prenderla en su cintura. Apenas había separado la flor de la rama, apareció un joven frente a ella en el sendero.

-¿Cómo te atreves a cortar las rosas de Carterhaugh y a pasar por aquí sin mi permiso? -le preguntó.

-No quise hacer nada malo –se disculpó ella.

-Mi misión es proteger estos bosques y cuidar que nadie perturbe su paz –dijo el joven.

Luego sonrió lentamente, como alguien que no ha sonreído durante mucho tiempo, y cortó una rosa roja que crecía junto a la rosa blanca que Janet tenía en la mano.

-Sin embargo, sería muy feliz si pudiera dar todas las rosas de Carterhaugh a una dama tan hermosa como tú.

-¿Quién eres, joven gentil? -preguntó Janet mientras tomaba la rosa.

-Me llamo Tam Lin –respondió el joven.

-¡Oí hablar de ti! Eres el caballero elfo –exclamó Janet y arrojó la rosa con temor.

-No temas, hermosa Janet –dijo Tam Lin-. Aunque me digan caballero elfo, soy tan humano como tú.

Y Janet escuchó asombrada mientras Tam Lin relataba su historia.

-Mi padre y mi madre murieron cuando era muy pequeño y mi abuelo, el conde de Roxburght, me llevó a vivir con él. Un día, mientras cazábamos en estos mismos bosques, comenzó a soplar un viento extraño desde el norte, que secó todas las hojas de los árboles. Sentí que me invadía un sueño profundo y me fui alejando de mis compañeros hasta que caí del caballo. Al despertar, estaba en la tierra de las hadas. La Reina de los Elfos me había raptado mientras dormía.

Tam Lin hizo una pausa, como si estuviera recordando esa tierra verde y encantada.

-Desde entonces –continuó-, estoy sujeto al hechizo de la Reina de los Elfos. Durante el día cuido los bosques de Carterhaugh y por la noche vuelvo a la tierra de las hadas.¡Oh, Janet, cómo quisiera regresar a la vida humana de la que me arrancaron! Deseo con todo mi corazón verme libre del encantamiento.

Tam Lin hablaba con tanta pena que Janet preguntó conmovida:

-¿Y no hay ninguna manera de lograrlo?

Tam Lin tomó las manos de la joven entre las suyas.

-Esta noche es Halloween, Janet –dijo-, la noche entre todas las noches en que hay una posibilidad de devolverme a la vida humana. En Halloween los seres mágicos viajan a otra comarca y yo voy con ellos.

-Dime cómo puedo ayudarte –dijo Janet -. Lo haré de todo corazón.

-Al llegar la medianoche –le explicó Tam Lin-, debes ir a la encrucijada y esperar allí hasta que pase la caravana de los seres mágicos. Cuando veas acercarse al primer grupo, no te muevas y déjalos seguir su camino. Lo mismo harás con el segundo grupo. Yo iré en el tercer grupo, montado en un corcel blanco como la leche y llevaré una corona de oro en la cabeza. Entonces correrás hasta mí, Janet. Derríbame del caballo y abrázame. No importa que hechizos lancen sobre mí, abrázame fuerte y no me sueltes. De esa manera podrás devolverme a este mundo.

Esa noche, poco antes de las doce, Janet corrió hacia la encrucijada y se ocultó entre los arbustos espinosos. La luz de la luna centelleaba en el agua de los arroyos, la sombra de los arbustos dibujaba figuras extrañas sobre la tierra y las ramas de los árboles crujían aterradoramente sobre su cabeza. El viento traía un leve sonido de galope. Se acercaban los caballos mágicos.

Janet sintió que un escalofrío le recorría la espalda y se encogió en su capa mientras miraba expectante en dirección al camino. Primero vio el brillo de los arneses de plata, luego la estrella blanca en la frente del caballo que encabezaba el cortejo y pronto apareció ante su vista un grupo de seres mágicos con caras pálidas de rasgos afilados en los que se reflejaba la luz de la luna y extraños bucles élficos que se agitaban en el viento mientras cabalgaban.

Mientras pasaba el primer grupo, encabezado por la Reina de los Elfos que montaba un corcel negro como la noche, Janet se quedó inmóvil y los miró alejarse. Tampoco se movió cuando pasó el segundo grupo. Pero en el tercer grupo distinguió el caballo blanco de Tam Lin y vio el brillo de la corona de oro sobre su frente. Entonces salió de la sombra de los arbustos, corrió a sujetar las riendas del caballo, derribó a Tam Lin de la silla y lo rodeó con sus brazos.

Inmediatamente brotó un grito espectral:

-¡Tam Lin se escapa!

El caballo negro de la Reina de los Elfos corcoveó al sentir el tirón de la rienda para detenerlo. La Reina se volvió y sus ojos hermosamente inhumanos se detuvieron en Janet y Tam Lin.

Mientras Janet lo abrazaba con todas sus fuerzas, la Reina lanzó un hechizo sobre Tam Lin, quien se fue encogiendo más y más hasta transformarse en una lagartija escamosa. Janet la mantuvo apretada contra su pecho.

Luego sintió que algo se deslizaba entre sus dedos y la lagartija se transformó en una serpiente fría y escurridiza que se le enroscó al cuello mientras la sujetaba firmemente.

Un momento después, sintió un dolor ardiente en las manos y la fría serpiente se transformó en una barra de hierro al rojo. Lágrimas de dolor corrían por sus mejillas, pero Janet siguió abrazando a Tam Lin con la decisión de enfrentarse a lo que fuera para salvarlo.

Por fin, la Reina de los Elfos comprendió que había perdido a Tam Lin para siempre por la fuerza del amor de una mortal y le devolvió su aspecto original. En brazos de Janet, Tam Lin era nuevamente un ser humano. Janet lo envolvió triunfalmente en su capa. Y mientras la caravana reanudaba la marcha y una afilada mano verdosa tomaba las riendas del caballo en que había montado Tam Lin, se escuchó la voz de la Reina de los Elfos en amargo lamento:

-Hemos perdido al más apuesto de todos los caballeros de mi cortejo en manos de los mortales. ¡Adiós, Tam Lin! Si hubiera sabido que una mortal sería capaz de arrancarte de mi lado con su amor, te habría quitado el corazón humano y puesto en su lugar un corazón de piedra. Y si hubiera sabido que la hermosa Janet vendría a Carterhaugh, habría transformado tus ojos grises en un par de ojos de madera.

Mientras la Reina hablaba, la pálida luz del amanecer comenzó a iluminar la tierra. Con un grito sobrenatural, los jinetes mágicos espolearon sus caballos y se alejaron a toda velocidad. El sonido de las campanillas de los arreos se desvaneció en la distancia.

Tam Lin besó con ternura las doloridas manos llenas de quemaduras de Janet y juntos regresaron al castillo de piedra gris.

A dhá ghéag chanta dar ndóigh ba dheas,
Is a leaca ar dhath na gcaor,
Is go deimhin a bhean ba dheas a ghean
Ar maidin le fáinne an lae?

Raghad-sa chun coille agus fanfad ann seal
Go dtiocfaidh chugham grá mo chléibh.
Raghad-sa chun coille agus fanfad ann seal
Go dtiocfaidh chugham bláth mo shaoil.
Mo rún, mo reacht, mo bhuachaill deas,
Mo chuaille ar feadh mo shaoil,
Is go deimhin a bhean beidh a theacht thar n-ais
Ar maidin mar dhrúcht ón speir.

Chím-se mo mhaoin-sa chugham ag teacht
Ar maidin mar dhrucht ón speir.
Chím-se mo mhaoin-sa chugham ag teacht
Ar maidin mar theidhil ó ngréin.
Mo rún, mo reacht, mo rí-fhear ceart,
Mo dhíon-sa ar feadh mo ré
Is go deimhin a bhean is liom-sa an teacht
Ar maidin mar theidhil ó ngréin.

04 THE CHIEFTAINS (w/Sinead O'Connor)- The Foggy Dew

Fuente de la letra

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I,
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.

Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through;
While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.

The bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Easter-tide
In the springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.

And back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro
In my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled
Oh, glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew

05 DERVISH Érin Grá Mo Chroí (Ireland of My Heart)

Fuente de la letra.

in the evening sun
when my daily work was done
i rambled to the seashore for a walk
and i being all alone
i sat down upon this stone
for to gaze upon the seas of New York

(chorus)
oh then erin grá mo chroí
you're the only one for me
you're the fairest that my eyes did e'er behold
you're the bright star of the west
the land Saint Patrick blessed
you're the dear little isle so far away

'twas on a cold cold winter's night
with the turf fire burning bright
and the snowflakes falling on a winter day
and i being all alone
i sat down on my own
in the dear little isle so far away

(chorus)

the day that i did part
sure it broke my mother's heart
will i ever see my dear folks anymore?
not until my bones are laid
in the cold and silent grave
in the dear little isle so far away

(chorus)

Words and music Robin Williamsson 1978

I learned in school
That I was mad if they were sane, you see
They had to beat me black and blue
They said it hurt them more than me
But I learned who were my enemies
and I learned who were my friends
I learned to read between the lines
When I was 10
IÂ'd do anything to get out of school
Away from the teacherÂ's stick
To shoot streetlamps with my slingshot
Smoke cigarettes and get sick
Steal apples in September
Fight shadows in green June
Or just sit and smell the burning leaves
Of an autumnsÂ's afternoon
Of an autumnsÂ's afternoon

Once I met a mad girl
As she came hopping through the furze
Her clothes all stuck with fluff and stuff
Bearded barley and bristly burrs
and I was high among the branches green
and she, she hadnÂ't seen me there
As she went shuffling with her shadow
and snatching at the air
Wild weeds, wilting
Were twined all in her curls
and I could tell by her mad blue eyes
She was a mad girl
She was thin as any sparrow
Her song it had no tune
Just scuffling through the piney glades
Of a summerÂ's afternoon
Of a summerÂ's afternoon

I came dropping through the branches down
She started round in surprise and fear
I donÂ't know what I had to say
But something I knew she had to hear
She picked up a piece of flint
Drew back her arm and flung it high
Not a bad throw that cut my cheek
Just below the eye
Mad girl, mad girl
Before you ran away
I knew you were as mad as me
and as sane as a summerÂ's day
Mad girl, mad girl
We both were wrong again
You took me for an anemy
and I took you for a friend
I took you for a friend

Toderoday - Robin Williamson lyrics

When I was a little baby, six inches tall,
People were astounded how loud I could bawl.
I jumped up to London all in a single bound,
Over St. Paul’s steeple before I touched the ground.
Toderoday

Now, I had a little greyhound, the sweetest you’ve seen,
I learned her to waltz and sing “God Save the Queen”.
Her tail it was ten yards long, bushy and very wide:
Seven London aldermen all on that tail could ride.
Toderoday

This dog was the finest in the world, and at one time also the fastest.
Until one day, when a terrible thing happened…
As my dog ran round and round and round and round a small back garden, she happened to run over a scythe blade that some fool left lying rusting in the long grass and the nettles.
My poor dog was sliced from end to end like one of those long sandwiches you call a baguette.
Naturally, I was horrified.
But I never lost my presence of mind.
There happened to be a small bottle of white vinegar on the kitchen window sill and I liberally sprinkled both halves of my dog with the white vinegar, then I tied her together again with strips of a tea-towel that my wife had left lying drying on the hedge.
And do you know… that dog was better than ever it was after that, but just for one thing…
In my haste I had tied one pair of legs facing up and one pair of legs facing down.
But now my could run coming and going at once.
And bark at both ends.

I had a little chicken, of her I took care.
I put her in a mussel shell and she hatched me a hare,
The hare became a milk white pony, about eighteen hands high
Anyone with a bigger tale to tell?
Oh dear, what a lie!
Toderoday

01 PLANXTY (04'55) - First Slip, Herdyman the Fiddler
02 OISIN - The Rambling Soldier

I am a soldier, blythe and gay,
That’s rambled for promotion.
I’ve laid the French and Spaniards low;
Some miles I’ve crossed the ocean.
I’ve travelled England and Ireland, too,
I’ve travelled bonny Scotland through,
I’ve caused some pretty girls to rue,
I’m a roving, rambling soldier.

When I was young and in me prime,
Twelve years I was recruiting
Through England, Ireland, and Scotland too,
Wherever I was suiting.
I led a gay and splendid life,
In every town a different wife;
And seldom was there any strife
With the roving, rambling soldier.

In Woolwich town I courted Jane,
Her sister and her mother;
I mean to say, when I was there,
They were jealous of each other.
Our orders came, I had to start.
I left poor Jane with a broken heart.
Then straight to Colchester did depart,
The roving, rambling soldier.

With the blooming lasses in each town,
No man was ever bolder;
I thought that I was doing right,
As the king did want young soldiers.
I told them tales of fond delight,
I kept recruiting day and night,
And when I had made all things right,
Off went the rambling soldier.

The king permission granted me
To range the country over,
From Colchester to Liverpool,
From Plymouth down to Dover.
And in whatever town I went,
To court all damsels I was bent,
And to marry none was my intent,
But live a rambling soldier.

And now the wars are at an end,
I’m not ashamed to mention
The king has given me discharge,
And granted me a pension.
No doubt some lasses will me blame,
But never once they can me shame,
And if you want to know my name,
Just call me the rambling soldier.

03 FLOOK! The History Man

04 THE BULLY WEE BAND (1976) The Jolly Beggar - The Meadow

There was a jolly beggarman
Came tripping o'er the plain
He came unto a farmer's door
A lodging for to gain
The farmer's daughter she came down
And viewed him cheek and chin
She says "He is a handsome man
I pray you take him in"

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

He would not lie within the barn
Nor yet within the byre
But he would in the corner lie
Down by the kitchen fire
O then the beggar's bed was made
Of good clean sheets and hay
And down beside the kitchen fire
The jolly beggar lay

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

The farmer's daughter she got up
To bolt the kitchen door
And there she saw the beggar
Standing naked on the floor
He took the daughter in his arms
And to the bed he ran
Kind sir, she says, be easy now
You'll waken our goodman

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

Now you are no beggar
You are some gentleman
For you have stolen my maidenhead
And I am quite undone
I am no lord, I am no squire
Of beggars I be one
And beggars they be robbers all
So you're quite undone

We'll go no more a roving
A roving in the night
We'll go no more a roving
Let the moon shine so bright
We'll go no more a roving

05 PLANXTY - P stands for Paddy, I suppose

P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man

Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Johnny is the fairest man.
And I don't care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.

I walked out one May morning
For to take a pleasant walk,
I sat meself down on an old stone wall
To hear two lovers talk.

To hear what they might say, my dear,
For to hear what they might say
So that I might know a little more about love
Before I go away.

P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man

"Come and sit you down beside meself,
Over here on the pleasant green,
For it's been three quarters of a year or more
Since together we have been."

"No, I'll not sit by you," says she,
"Not today nor at any other time!
For I hear you love another pretty girl,
And your heart's no longer mine.

Your heart's no longer mine, my dear,
No your heart's no longer mine.
It's been three quarters of a year—no more—
And your heart's no longer mine."

P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man

I will climb a tall tall tree
And I'll rob the wild bird's nest.
Then I'll come down with what I find there
To the arms that I like best.

To the arms that I like best, my dear,
To the arms that I like best.
Yes, I'll climb right down and run straight home
To the arms that I like best.

P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man

Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Johnny is the fairest man—
And now I know a little more about love
Before I travel on.

07 MACMURROUGH (04'33) (1974) A Maid Who Sold Her Barley

It's cold and raw the north winds blow
Black in the morning early
When all the hills were covered with snow,
Oh then it was winter fairly,
As I riding was riding o'er the moor,
I met a farmer's daughter,
Her cherry cheeks and sloe black eyes,
They caused my heart to falter.

I bowed my bonnet very low
To let her know my meaning.
She answered with a courteous smile,
Her looks they were engaging.
"Where are you bound my pretty maid,
It's now in the morning early."
The answer that she made to me,
"Kind sir to sell me barley."

"Now twenty guineas I've in my purse,
And twenty more that's yearly,
You need not go to the market town,
For I'll buy all your barley.
If twenty gunieas would gain the heart
Of the maid I love so dearly,
All for to tarry with me one night,
And go home in the morning early."

As I was riding o'er the moor
The very evening after,
It was my fortune for to meet
The farmer's only daughter.
Although the weather being cold and raw,
With her I thought to parley.
This answer then she made to me,
"Kind sir I've sold me barley."

08 THE UNTHANKS (08'43) (2009) Here's The Tender Coming

Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men;
Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then?
Here's the tender coming, off at Shield's Bar,
Here's the tender coming, full of men of war.

Hide thee, canny Geordie, hide thyself away;
Hide thee till the tender makes for Druid's Bay.
If they take thee, Geordie, who's to win our bread?
Me and little Jackie better off be dead.

Here's the tender coming, stealing off my dear;
Oh dear hinny, they'l ship you out of here.
They will ship you foreign, that is what it means;
Here's the tender coming, full of red marines.

Hey, bonny lassie. let's go to the Lawe,
See the tender lying, off at Shield's Bar,
With her colours flying, anchor at her bow.
They took my bonny laddie, best of all the crew.

tres versiones de "Hard Times in Old England"

Hard Times of Old England

Come all brother tradesmen that travel along;
Oh, pray come and tell me where the trade is all gone.
Long time I have travelled and cannot find none,
And it's,

Cho: Oh, the hard times of Old England,
 In Old England very hard times.

Provisions you buy at the shop, it is true,
But, if you've no money, there's none there for you.
So, what's a poor man and his family to do?
And it's,

If you go to a shop and you ask for a job,
They will answer you there with a shake and a nod;
So, that's enough to make a man turn out and rob.
And it's,

You will see the poor tradesman a-walking the street
From morning till night, for employment to seek,
And scarcely they've got any shoes to their feet.
And it's,

Our soldiers and sailors have just come from war;
Been fighting for their Queen and their country, 'tis sure
Come home to be starved, better stayed where they were.
And it's,

And now to conclude and to finish my song,
Let us hope that these hard times they will not last long;
I hope soon to have occasion to alter my song.
And it's,

 Oh, the good times of Old England,
 In Old En-ge-land jolly good times.

HARD TIMES OF OLD ENGLAND RETOLD
As performed by The Imagined Village

1. For five generations, my family have found,
By hooves and by tractor, by hoe and by hand,
But that once they walked the bank's latest demand(?),

CHORUS: Singing, oh, the hard times of old England,
In old England very hard times.

2. Time was, I could sell what I grew in the shop.
Then Tesco's turned up all of that edge(?) to stop.
Now I can't make a living out of my crop.

3. More and more of our village gets sold every day
To folks from the city who are happy to pay
For their holiday cottage to stand empty all day.

4. The Countryside Alliance expects, I suppose,
My support when they're marching to bloody Blair's nose,
But they said not a word when our post office closed.

5. The hedgerows my grandfather tended have gone,
And with them the lapwing and the corncrake's sad song.
I fear I'll be carried off before long.

6. And now to conclude and to finish my song:
Let's hope that these hard times they will not last long,
And I may soon have occasion for to alter my song

LAST CHORUS: And sing, oh, the good times of old England,
In old England very good times.

dos versiones de "Mary and the Soldier"

Mary And The Soldier (traditional)

Come all you lads of high renown
That would hear of a fair young maiden
And she roved out on a summer's day
For to view the soldiers parading
They marched so bold and they looked so gay
Their colours flying and the bands did play
And it caused young Mary for to say
"I'll wed you me my gallant soldier"

She viewed the soldiers on parade
And as they stood at their leisure
And Mary to herself did say:
"At last I've found my treasure
But oh how cruel my parents must be
To banish my true love away from me
Well I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
My bold undaunted soldier"

"Oh Mary dear, your parents' love
I pray don't be unruly
For when you're in a foreign land,
Believe me you'll rue it surely
Perhaps in battle I might fall
From a shot from an angry cannonball
And you so far from your daddy's hall
Be advised by a gallant soldier."

"Oh I have fifty guineas in bright gold,
Likewise a heart that's bolder
And I'd leave them all and I'll go with you
My bold undaunted soldier
So don't say no but let me go
And I will face the daring foe
And we'll march together to and fro
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

And when he saw her loyalty
And Mary so true-hearted
He said: "My darling, married we'll be
And nothing but death will part us
And when we're in a foreign land
I'll guard you, darling, with my right hand
In hopes that God might stand a friend
To Mary and her gallant soldier"
