PIQUE LA BALEINE English Version Jim Jarratt October 2020 V 5
Pique La Baleine.... IN ENGLISH!
Having greatly enjoyed the superb performance of this traditional french chant de marin by Russian folk supergroup Otava Yo, I got to thinking it would be nice to do a version of this song in English, utilising some of the
Anglo- French lyrical crossovers that co-exist in the nautical traditions of both Britain and France.
I did not do a translation of the original lyric, as I did some years ago with Tri Martelod, reason
being I wanted a song about whaling, which ironically is only found the songs chorus.
(the rest of the lyrics in fact don’t talk about whaling at all! - more about having a girl in every port!))
So I looked at Jean Francois De Nantes, Pont De Morlaix, Boney was a Warrior, Greenland Whale Fishery and The Coast of Peru and extrapolated this tale of a whaling expedition out of Whitby, Yorkshire.
Perhaps under the command of Captain Scoresby! Enjoy!
