Chandelier Shop

Dziś muzycznie. Nie jestem wielkim fanem folkloru, jednak niektóre tradycyjne piosenki irlandzkie są po prostu świetne. Będąc niedawno w Co. Kerry skusiłem się na zakup płyty zespołu "The Kilkennys" - większość utworów jest całkiem fajna (z siedemnastu kawałków, może ze dwa albo trzy zawsze pomijam bo są nudne albo.... nudne), ale jeden rozłożył mnie na łopatki. Jedyny instrument w tej piosence to bęben; pod koniec każdej zwrotki są też trzy klaśnięcia - reszta to czysty wokal - a więc prawie a-capella. Zarówno melodia jak i słowa pochodzą ze starej piosenki pijackiej i całość jest naprawdę przezabawna. Śpiewana na dwa głosy, z basem w tle - sama przyjemność.

Oczywiście słowa nie oddają w pełni klimatu piosenki, ale może komuś uda się gdzieś trafić na wersję audio - bardzo polecam 😉

Chandelier Shop

As I went into the chandelier shop
Some candles for to buy
I went into the chandelier shop
But noone I could spy
Now I was disappointed
So some angry words I said
When I heard a sound of a (clap clap clap)
Right above me head.
When I heard a sound of a (clap clap clap)
Right above me head.

Now I was quick and I was slick,
So up the stairs I fled
And very surprised I was to find
The chandelier’s wife in bed
And with her was another man
Of quite considerable size
And they were having a (clap clap clap)
Right before me eyes.
And they were having a (clap clap clap)
Right before me eyes.

Now when the fun was over and done
The lady raised her head
And very surprised was she to find
Me standing by her bed
"If you will be discreet, my boy,
If you will be so kind
Why don’t you come up for some" (clap clap clap)
"Whenever you feel inclined.
Hey, why don’t you come up for some" (clap clap clap)
"Whenever you feel inclined."

So many’s the night and many’s the day
When the chandelier wasn’t home
To get meself some candles
To the chandelier’s shop I’d roam
But never’s the one she’d give to me
She’d give to me instead
A little bit more of that (clap clap clap)
To light me way to bed.
Just a little bit more of that (clap clap clap)
To light me way to bed.

So come all you married men, take heed
Whenever you go to town
And if you leave your wife alone
Be sure and tie her down
And if you’ll be so kind to her
Just lie her down on the floor
Aye, and give her so much of the (clap clap clap)
She doesn’t want anymore.
Aye, and give her so much of the (clap clap clap)
She doesn’t want anymore.

Hey!
