Description
SKU: A0.977677
Composed by Nicolas Saboly? Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Christian,Christmas,Classical,World. Octavo. 2 pages. Sylvia Miles #4890441. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.977677)."La cambo me fai mau" in the original Provençal.
Probably composed by Nicolas Saboly (1614-1675), poet, composer and chapel-master.
Saboly was an interesting figure. Born into a family of herdsmen, he studied theology and became a Jesuit priest. (But in 1634 he left the University of Avignon without taking his degrees - wonder why?) He composed and collected many carols in the Provençal dialect, which form one of the monuments of poetry in that language, and have been repeatedly published right up to the present day.
To be sung with humour! and a nice punchy rhythm from the altos.
Words:
2. Tous les bergers, campés sur la montagne, Tous les bergers ont vu le messager,
Qui a crié "mettez-vous en campagne", Qui a crié "le fils de Dieu est né":
3.Pour ma santé les fièvres sont malsaines, Pour ma santé vaut mieux les éviter.
J’ai attrapé une fièvre quartaine, J’ai attrapé que j’en reste éclopé:
4.Les gens à pied me laissent en arrière, Les gens à pied me laissent le dernier.
Un malotru a ri de mes manières, Un malotru tout lourd et tout ventru:
5. Mon cheval blanc qui passait ventre a terre, Mon cheval blanc me mènera devant;
L’ai acheté d’un qui venait de guerre, L’ai acheté moins cher qu’il n’a couté:
6. Quand j’aurai vu le Fils du Dieu le Père, Quand j’aurai vu le Roi du ciel venu,
M’en revenant de saluer sa Mère, M’en revenant tout sera différent:
Je n’aurai plus de mal, bouteselle bouteselle
Je n’aurai plus de mal, bouteselle à mon cheval!
Qui a crié "mettez-vous en campagne"
Qui a crié "le fils de Dieu est né"
