Hallgassunk tengerésznótát: 8. Blow The Man Down

Na, ez megint nagy kedvenc!
És olyan nóta, aminek nagyon sok szövegváltozata van, és a különböző hangszerelések nagyszerű élményt adnak. Íme, több változat, kellemes hallgatózást és dúdolgatást, esetleg éneklést...
 Elsőként a Seekers feldolgozását mutatom meg.

 


Come all ye young fellows that follow the sea
To me weigh hey blow the man down
And pray pay attention and listen to me
Give me some time to blow the man down

I'm a deep water sailor just in from Hong Kong
To me weigh hey blow the man down
If you'll give me some rum I'll sing you a song
Give me some time to blow the man down

T'was on a Black Baller I first spent my time
To me weigh hey blow the man down
And on that Black Baller I wasted my prime
Give me some time to blow the man down

T'is when a Black Baller's preparing for sea
To me weigh hey blow the man down
You'd split your sides laughing at the sights that you see
Give me some time to blow the man down

With the tinkers and tailors and soldiers and all
To me weigh hey blow the man down
That ship for prime seamen onboard a Black Ball
Give me some time to blow the man down

T'is when a Black Baller is clear of the land
To me weigh hey blow the man down
Our boatswain then gives us the word of command
Give me some time to blow the man down

A következő feldolgozásnál nincs más dolgod, mint meredni a képernyőre, mert a szöveget mutatja:



Az alábbi verzió szövegét megint külön követheted:



As I was out walkin' down Paradise street, To me way, hey, blow the man down! A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet, Give me some time to blow the man down! She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow So I took in all sail and cried "way enough now" I hailed her in English, she answered me clear "I'm from the Black Arrow bound to the Shakespeare" So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow And yard-arm to yard-arm, away we did go But as we were a-going she said unto me "There's a spankin' full rigger just ready for sea" That spankin' full rigger to New York was bound She was very well mannered and very well found But as soon as that packet was clear of the bar The mate knocked me down with the end of a spar As soon as that packet was out on the sea 'Twas devilish hard treatment of every degree So I give you fair warning before we belay Don't never take heed of what pretty girls say.

A következő szövegét megint a képernyőn követheted:




És végül egy hosszabb kocsmafelvétel a Black Irish Band repertoárjából, szöveg nélkül, csak dőlj hátra, és élvezd...
