Tourdion - quand je bois du vin clairet (French Traditional from Renaissance)

A very well known traditional song from France. No medieval but renaissance dance music but we have tried to make a ’modern interpretation’. OK - everybody plays this song but we hope you like anyway ;-) Recorded in our small home studio: - Voice - Percussion - Guitar - Two flutes/recorders The painting: “Isabella“ by John Everett Millais, 1849 (Millais_painting) ### French Lyrics ### Quand je bois du vin clairet (Tourdion) Quand je bois du vin clairet, Ami tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne... Aussi désormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois. Chantons et buvons: À ce flacon faisons la guerre! Chantons et buvons Mes amis; buvons donc! De ce gras jambon Mangeons pour oublier nos peines! De ce gras jambon Mes amis, mangeons donc! Chantons et buvons: Vive l’amour et la bouteille! Chantons et buvons Mes amis; buvons donc!

This particular tourdion derives from a song first published by Pierre Attaignant in 1530 as «La Magdalena», which was later re-arranged by an anonymous musician into the song presented above. ### traduction en anglais ### When I Drink Claret (Bordeaux) Wine When I drink claret (Bordeaux) wine My friend, everything turns, turns, turns, turns... Now, I also drink Anjou or Arbois. Let’s sing and drink: Let’s declare war on that wine flask! Let’s sing and drink My friends; let’s drink, then! From that fatty ham Let’s (all) eat to forget our sorrows! From that fatty ham My friends, let’s eat, then! Let’s sing and drink: Long life to love and the bottle! Let’s sing and drink My friends; let’s drink, then!  #ShortTailedSnails #MittelalterSTS #WorldmusicSTS
