Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli by Hannah Szenes

My God, My God, I pray that these things never end,

The sand and the sea,

The rustle of the waters,

Lightning of the Heavens,

The prayer of Man.

אלי, אלי, שלא יגמר לעולם

החול והים

רישרוש של המים

ברק השמים

תפילת האדם

The voice called, and I went.

I went, because the voice called.

The Padstow May Song

Night song

Unite and unite and let us all unite,
For summer is acome unto day,
And whither we are going we will all unite,
In the merry morning of May.

I warn you young men everyone,
For summer is acome unto day,
To go to the green-wood and fetch your May home,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Mr. ..... and joy you betide,
For summer is acome unto day,
And bright is your bride that lies by your side,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Mrs. ..... and gold be your ring,
For summer is acome unto day,
And give to us a cup of ale the merrier we shall sing,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Miss ..... all in your gown of green,
For summer is acome unto day,
You are as fine a lady as wait upon the Queen,
In the merry morning of May.

Now fare you well, and we bid you all good cheer,
For summer is acome unto day,
We call once more unto your house before another year,
In the merry morning of May.

Day Song

Unite and unite and let us all unite,
For summer is acome unto day,
And whither we are going we will all unite,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Mr. ..... I know you well afine,
For summer is acome unto day,
You have a shilling in your purse and I wish it were in mine,
In the merry morning of May.

All out of your beds,
For summer is acome unto day,
Your chamber shall be strewed with the white rose and the red
In the merry morning of May.

Where are the young men that here now should dance,
For summer is acome unto day,
Some they are in England some they are in France,
In the merry morning of May.

Where are the maidens that here now should sing,
For summer is acome unto day,
They are in the meadows the flowers gathering,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Mr. ..... with your sword by your side,
For summer is acome unto day,
Your steed is in the stable awaiting for to ride,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Miss ..... and strew all your flowers,
For summer is acome unto day,
It is but a while ago since we hove strewed ours,
In the merry morning of May.

O! where is St. George,
O!, where is he-o,
He is out in his long boat on the salt sea-o.
Up flies the kite and down tails the lark-o.
Aunt Ursula Birdhood she had an old ewe
And she died in her own Park-o.

With the merry ring, adieu the merry spring,
For summer is acome unto day,
How happy is the little bird that merrily doth sing,
In the merry morning of May.

The young men of Padstow they might if they would,
Far summer is acome unto day,
They might have built a ship and gilded her with gold,
In the merry morning of May.

The young women of Padstow might if they would,
For summer is acome unto day,
They might have made a garland with the white rose and the red,
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Mr. ..... and reach me your hand,
For summer is acome unto day,
And you shall have a lively lass with a thousand pounds in hand.
In the merry morning of May.

Arise up Miss ..... all in your cloak of silk,
For summer is acome unto day,
And all your body under as white as any milk,
In the merry morning of May.

O! where is St. George,
O!, where is he-o,
He is out in his long boat on the salt sea-o.
Up flies the kite and down tails the lark-o.
Aunt Ursula Birdhood she had an old ewe
And she died in her own Park-o.

Now fare you well and bid you all good cheer,
For summer is acome unto day,
We call no more unto your house before another year,
In the merry morning of May.

Un Canadien Errant by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie

I discovered this song while watching the film "One Week" last night. Try as I might to find an apt version of it to post, there are very few examples to be found on youtube among the many renditions of it, and this one by Canadian folksinger Bonnie Dobson (yet another discovery for me) comes closest the song from the movie.



There is a version by the venerable master himself, Leonard Cohen, taken from a documentary on him, but for some reason he chose to render it with horns reminiscent of the Tijuana Brass - not that I have anything against them, it just wasn't working for me.

Wikipedia explains that "Un Canadien errant" ("a wandering Canadian") is a song written in 1842 by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie after the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837-1838. Some of the rebels were condemned to death, while others were exiled to the United States. Gérin-Lajoie wrote the song, about the pain of exile, while taking his classical exams at Nicolet. The song has become a patriotic anthem for Canadians who, at different times in history, have experienced the pain of exile. In addition to those exiled following the Lower Canada Rebellion, it has had particular importance for the rebels of the Upper Canada Rebellion and for the Acadiens who suffered mass deportation from their homeland in the Great Upheaval between 1755-1763. The Acadien version is known as "Un Acadien errant."


Original French lyrics:

Un Canadien errant,
Banni de ses foyers,
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays étrangers.

Un jour, triste et pensif,
Assis au bord des flots,
Au courant fugitif
Il adressa ces mots

"Si tu vois mon pays,
Mon pays malheureux,
Va, dis à mes amis
Que je me souviens d'eux.

"Ô jours si pleins d'appas
Vous êtes disparus,
Et ma patrie, hélas!
Je ne la verrai plus!

"Non, mais en expirant,
Ô mon cher Canada!
Mon regard languissant
Vers toi se portera..."

English Translation:

An errant ‘Canadien’
Banished from his homeland
Weeping, he travels on
Wandering through foreign lands

One day, sad and pensive
Seated on the river’s bank
To the evasive current,
Did he address these words:

“If you should see my home
My sad unhappy land
Go, say to all my friends
That I remember them

"O days once so full of charm
You are all gone away
And my homeland, alas!
I'll not see her again

"No, but with my last breath
O my dear Canada!
My dying gaze
will turn toward you"


This is the 1927 English version by John Murray Gibbon.

Once a Canadian lad,
Exiled from hearth and home,
Wandered, alone and sad,
Through alien lands unknown.

Down by a rushing stream,
Thoughtful and sad one day,
He watched the water pass
And to it he did say:

"If you should reach my land,
My most unhappy land,
Please speak to all my friends
So they will understand.

Tell them how much I wish
That I could be once more
In my beloved land
That I will see no more.

"My own beloved land
I'll not forget till death,
And I will speak of her
With my last dying breath.

My own beloved land
I'll not forget till death,
And I will speak of her
With my last dying breath."
