Если честно, говоря про испанские корабли, я думал о временах лет этак на 100 пораньше, нежели Непобедимая армада - в период Конкисты, но фактов на руках нет, я скорее озвучил расхожий штамп.

А это тоже шанти? -

А это тоже шанти? 

Ну, в шанти много поджанров и эту песню если и можно отнести к шанти, то не к рабочим их версиям, а к тому, что пели матросы на баке во время отдыха.

И вот этот вариант мне кажется гораздо более аутентичным.

Песни времен локдауна. Очень круто, правда?

 

We originally hoped for 100 submissions for this project... When almost 500 turned up, we had to rethink our plans! It's so amazing to watch this video and see the faces of people still keeping Folk Music and Sea Shanties alive all around the globe! A huge thank you to everyone who took part, and remember to keep singing! Hopefully this video gives you a bit of optimism for the future at the end of such a dreary year. Back in 2019, we had the idea to sing a song with as many of our fans as we could. When 2020 hit, it seemed like the perfect time to do it! Since we got way more submissions that we expected, we ended up having to delay the video's release until NOW!

Можно им отправить привет из России 

Нужно! Я обязательно попробую записаться. Думаю, в толпе мой хриплый голос будет не слишком диссонировать. А, может, даже придаст морского шарма.

 

Партия тенора

 

Партия баритона

 

Партия баса

Кстати, эти ролики интересно смотреть сами по себе

Текст песни: 

[Verse 1]

There once was a ship that put to sea

And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea

The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down

Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

[Verse 2]

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore

The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!)

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

[Verse 3]

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale's tail came up and caught her

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

When she dived down below (Huh!)

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

[Verse 4]

No line was cut, no whale was freed;

The Captain's mind was not on greed

But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;

She took that ship in tow (Huh!)

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

[Verse 5]

For forty days, or even more

The line went slack, then tight once more

All boats were lost, there were only four

But still that whale did go

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

[Verse 6]

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;

The line's not cut and the whale's not gone

The Wellerman makes his a regular call

To encourage the Captain, crew, and all

 

[Chorus]

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

 

И история песни: 

From 1833 onwards, the Wellermen, ships owned by Weller Brothers of Sydney, supplied provisions to New Zealand shore whaling stations. They did this from their base in Otago, New Zealand, where they had established a whaling station in 1831.

Throughout their existence, the Wellermen (also known as the Weller brothers), became New Zealand’s paramount merchant traders. The lyrics evoke imagery of one of the Wellermen’s major functions; supplying “sugar, tea and rum” to shore whalers.

Они продлили дедлайн до 15 феврлая, 6:00 по Гринвичу!

 

Им уже прислали более 3 тысяч (!) записей. (Для сравнения, на прошлый проект, Leave her Jhonny, было около 500 откликов)

Блин, кажется, я уже не успеваю

[DNAlh]

Блин, кажется, я уже не успеваю

А я попробовал и понял, что мне неловко это отправлять. Всё-таки петь я разучился.
