en haut de ces montagnes (Bri-anne Swan)
"en haut de ces montagnes" is a traditional Acadian folk song. I learned it from the album Naturel by French Canadian folk quartette Barachois. www.amazon.ca/Naturel-Barachois/dp/B000069F0Z
Lyrics and translation to come.
You can purchase "en haut de ces montagnes" and "...these are all my friends" on iTunes, Bandcamp, eMusic, Spotify, and nearly everywhere else you find music on the Internet.

I''ve yet to have the opportunity to attend a service, but I think it's really wonderful that y'all are affirming, and I think it's so rare for any church to actually acknowledge indigenous peoples, much less on their about page.

    Les Voyageurs!) “We’ll bed them all, two years throughout, We’ll bed them all, two years throughout, Until the kids come tumblin’ out!” The refrain: It is a good breeze, it is a fair breeze Upon the good breeze my Dear is calling And with the good breeze, and in the fair breeze Under the good breeze we’ll take our ease! The verses: Behind our place, there is a pond Three lovely drakes would swim upon The King’s young scion came to hunt And silvern was his hunting gun He hit the white (though aimed at black!) O Son of Kings, Thou art so bad! The blood flow’d out, beneath the drake Below his wing: a little lake And all his plumes fled on the wind (Three ladies ran to gather in!) Of them a softer bed to make For all and sundry they would slake (The last verse you already know I hope that you’ve enjoyed the show…) I truly have no idea why this very old, ribald ballad is considered suitable for children to learn !!!

      @jfjoubertquebec 3 роки тому

      My hypothesis, (concerning the verses) is that it is of Welsh origin. Came to France around the 12th century along with the name Gauvin (gwalchmei) and stories of King Arthur, the story of Tristan. The original, most common, text is about the randomness of life-death. It's about facing death without fear or without grief. But written in a very symbolic hermetic style. Notice the presence of the "Three ladies" preparing a (death) bed... destined for all passers bye.
