Rasmussen – Chantey interview Hugues Aufray – Santiano Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – Aim Spirente Sea Shanty Metal – Santiana https://campsite.bio/firedrawnear Genre Traditional Irish Comment by combandglass maybe other people have brought this up, i don't know -- the robert shaw chorale's version of this seems to have a lot of its verses interpolated from the shanty "boney was a warrior". in "boney," napoleon "beat the prussians fairly / and beat the british, nearly" and is a "rortin', snortin' corsican" ("rorting" meaning something like "rowdy") as well as a "randy-dandy general," and "way off in santy anna" maybe resembles "away in saint helena"? 2024-06-28T05:22:04Z Comment by Banjokev this version is a gem - Pusser's Rum ft.

Mae'r rhaffe i gyd fel ffyn o rew, Ai-ô Santiana A'r môr yn wyllt, neu'r niwl yn dew. Mae 'nghartre i yng Nghymru bell. 3. .Mae tŷ fy nhad yn wyn a hardd, Ai-ô.... A rhosys cochion yn yr ardd. Mae 'nghartre i ..... 4. Mae'r adar bach yn canu yn y coed, Ai-ô.... A Pero'n gwrando am swn fy nhroed, Mae 'nghartre i ..... 5. Ar ben y drws mae man a nhad, Ai-ô.... 'Does unlle'n debyg i fy nghwlad, Mae 'nghartre i ..... 6. Mae'r hwylie wedi rhewi'n gorn, Ai-ô.... Gyr wyntoedd teg i rowndio'r horn Mae 'nghartre i ..... 2024-03-22T08:00:23Z
