Silly Wizard - Donald McGillavry
Наконец-то я их увидела! И узнала, что это шотландская группа Silly Wizard!
В первые я услышала их в конце 90-х. Попросила знакомую хиппушку: "Запиши мне какую-нибудь ирландщину". И она мне записала на аудиокассету что-то неизвестное, но очень приятное. На слух расшифровать слова вообще никак не получалось. Но музыка была такая... настоящая задорная ирландская! Особенно мне нравилась эта песня:
Donald come o'er the hill but his tether, man,
As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man; [wud = mad][ stung by an adder]
When he comes back, there's some will look merrily:
Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry.
Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry,
Push about, and in and out, thimble them cleverly
Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry
Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery; [rief = banditry]
Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary, [banes = bones]
Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery
Meeting the devil than Donald McGillavry.
Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry,
Push about, and in and out, thimble them cleverly,
Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry.
Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness; [callan = fine fellow]
Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness,
They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man: [baukit = balked]
He will hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man.
Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry,
Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry;
Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly, [lingel = shoemaker's thread]
Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry.
Donald was mumpit wi' mirds and mockery; [lulled with flattery]
Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property; [blads = lots]
Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man, [Arles = Thrashing]
Lord, how Donald hes flyting and fretting, man. [flyt = scold]
Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry,
Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry; [skelp = chastise]
Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly, [scaud = scold]
Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry!
Вконтакте нашлось сообщество фанатов этой ПЕСНИ! )) - http://vk.com/club1514826 и есть сайт - http://donaldmcgillavry.narod.ru/В видеозаписях сообщества порадовало исполнение группы The Navigators. Очень колоритный солист. Можно ли так играть на дудке?
А что особенно радует, мои любимые The Real Shamrocks - http://vk.com/real_shamrocks-
репетируют эту песню и сегодня впервые исполнят её. Это будет в Москве.
