Bella Ciao (Am) - Lletra, melodia i acords

Bella Ciao

Una mattina mi sono alzato
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mattina mi sono alzato
E ho trovato l'invasor

O partigiano portami via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
O partigiano portami via
Che mi sento di morir,

E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir

E seppellire lassù in montagna
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
E seppellire lassù in montagna
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior,

Tutte le genti che passeranno
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Tutte le genti che passeranno
Mi diranno: "Che bel fior"

È questo il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
È questo il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà

È questo il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà



The Rocky Road to Dublin (Dm) - Lletra, melodia i acords

In the merry month of June from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs
Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin

One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!

In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure
Keep me heart from sinking
That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin

One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin

One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!

From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead wished meself was dead
Or better far instead
On the rocky road to Dublin

One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!

The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul!" says I, me shillelagh I let fly
Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin

One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
Whack fol lol le rah!
Whack fol lol le rah!



Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore (A) - Lletra, melodia i acords

Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

From Derry quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May
We were boarded by a pleasant crew bound for America
Fresh water we did take on 5000 gallons or more
In case we'd run short going to New York
From Paddy's green shamrock shore

We sailed 3 days we were all seasick not a man on board was free
We were all confined to our bunks and no one to pity poor me
No father dear nor mother kind to hold up my head it was sore
Which made me think more on the lassie I left
On Paddy's green shamrock shore

So it's fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town
And twice farewell to my comrades bold who dwell on that sainted ground
If fortune should ever favor me and I should have money in store
I'd come back and I'd wed the wee lassie I left
On Paddy's green shamrock shore

We safely reached the other shore after 3 and twenty days
We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in 6 different ways
We each of us drank a parting glass in case we might never meet more
And we drank a toast to Old Ireland
And Paddy's green shamrock shore

Concert a la Rentada Popular de Guissona

 El 27 d'agost vam poder participar a la 10ª edició de la Rentada Popular de Guissona. Una festa que, durant deu anys, un grup de voluntàries han fet a les fonts de la vila de Guissona amb la intenció de recuperar la forma de fer la bugada que utilitzaven les seves mares i àvies, vestides com elles a principis del segle XX.

Després de la rentada va ser el torn dels Little Folks de fer passar una bona estona als assistents que podien berenar gràcies a la coca i xocolata que havien preparat els avis i àvies del Casal de la Gent Gran. Per fer baixar la coca també hi havia aigua i mistela de la bona!

Tot i ser al agost i a la Segarra, va ser una tarda força fresca i el públic assistent va tenir que abrigar-se mes del que seria habitual per l'epoca de l'any.

Aquest va ser el darrer concert que feia amb la formació en Joan Baró i això va afegir una emotivitat especial a la vetllada.

SLIP JIG

 SLIP JIG

L'Slip Jig, o Hop, es com s'anomena un tipus de ball i camçó típica irlandesa. Te un compàs de 9/8, on tradicionalment s'acentuens els temps 5 i 9. Es una de les mes famoses Step Dances de irlanda juntament amb els reels, jigs i hornpipes.

Es balla amb sabata tova. Durant un temps  només es ballava per homes i una altra època només per dones. En l'actualitat el balla tothom, tot i que en les competicions gairebé només hi ha dones. Es un ball on es fan servir molt les puntes dels peus, es per això que se'l denomina el ballet del ball irlandès.

Aquí teniu alguns exemples de la dansa:
