A Song of Bread

Lyrics

Sing a song of golden wheat, golden wheat, golden wheat,
Sing a song of golden wheat by the breeze blown.
Birds are there, bees are there,
Butterflies in the air,
Sing a song of golden wheat by the breeze blown.

Sing a song of farmer boys, farmer boys, farmer boys,
Sing a song of farmer boys mowing the grain.
Swish they go, slash they go,
Grasses are bending low,
Sing a song of farmer boys mowing the grain.

Sing a song of waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls,
Sing a song of waterfalls turning wheels round.
Sift the wheat, stamp the wheat,
Till it is soft and sweet,
Sing a song of waterfalls turning wheels round.

Sing a song of baking day, baking day, baking day,
Sing a song of baking day, coals burning red.
Milk is in, yeast is in,
Ovens are hot within.
Sing a song of baking day, coals burning red.

1. There was an old woman all skin and bones,
Ooooooh

2. She lived down by the old graveyard…

3. One night she thought she’d take a walk…

4. She walked down by the old graveyard…

5. She saw the bones a-layin’ around…

6. She went to the closet to get a broom…

7. She opened the door and BOO!

Oh here come three jolly boys all in a line
We are coming for apples if you will prove kind,
If you will prove kind with your gifts and good cheer,
We’ll come no more singing until the next year.

Fol de riddle dol, fol de ray,
Fol de riddle dol di day!

In costumes outlandish we come in a line
To delight you with singing if you will prove kind,
If you will prove kind with your gifts and good cheer,
We’ll come no more singing until the next year.

Jack-o’-lantern, Jack-o’-lantern
You are such a funny sight.
As you sit there, at the window
Glowing on at the night.

You were once a yellow pumpkin
Growing on a sturdy vine.
Now you are a jack-o’-lantern
Glowing on at the night.

A soul cake is a small round cake which is traditionally made for All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day to commemorate the dead. The cakes were given to singers who went from house to house. In some countries, it is seen as the origin of the practice of trick-or-treating.(source)

Lyrics

Refrain
A soul a soul, a soul cake,
Please, good missus, a soul cake!
An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry.
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.

1.God bless the master of this house, the misteress also,
And all the little children who round your table grow,
Likewise young men and maidens, your cattle and your store,
And all that dwells within your gates, we wish you ten times more. Refrain

2. The lanes are very dirty, my shoes are very thin,
I’ve got a little pocket to put a penny in.
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do;
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, it’s God bless you! Refrain

Souling was a Christian practice carried out in many English towns on Halloween and Christmas. In some countries, it is seen as the origin of the practice of trick-or-treating. (source)

Lyrics

We are two or three good hearty lads, and we are all of one mind;
And we are come out a-souling, and we hope you will prove kind.
We hope you will prove kind with your apples and strong beer;
And we’ll come no more a-souling until this time next year.

Step down into your cellar, and see what you can find;
If your barrels are not empty, we hope you will prove kind.
We hope you will prove kind with your apples and strong beer;
And we’ll come no more a-souling until this time next year.

God bless the master of this house, the mistress also;
God bless his sons and daughters that round his table go.
We hope you will prove kind with your apples and strong beer;
And we’ll come no more a-souling until this time next year.

God bless his men and maidens, his cattle and his store;
And all that lie within your gates, we wish you ten times more.
We wish you ten times more with your apples and strong beer;
And we’ll come no more a-souling until this time next year.

“Ayyo kakke patticho!!!”

Translation

Hey Crow where is your nest?
Is there a little crow in the nest?
If you do not give food to the little one
Will the little crow be crying?

Little one, little one, won’t you give
The cookie (made of wheat flour fried in oil) that is in your hand

No, no I won’t give the cookie
Oh! crow, you have cheated me! (source)

Lyrics

Give three long cheers for sailors on the sea,
Give three long loud cheers loud as loud can be!
Through wind and tide their ships they guide
To guard our shores from danger,
Brave boys in blue, we trust our lives to you.

Give three long cheers for soldiers marching by,
Give three long loud cheers, wave your flags on high!
By day or night they match and fight
To save our homes from danger
Brave boys in brown who guard old Boston town.

Lyrics

In Concord and in Lexington the bells rang out one night.
“Beware the redcoats! On they come,
Marching along with a muffled drum!”
In Concord and in Lexington the bells rang out one night.

In Concord and in Lexington before the sun did rise,
The Minutemen stood firm and strong,
Waiting the foe as he marched along,
In Concord and in Lexington before the sun did rise.

In Concord and in Lexington before the sun did set,
They chased the soldiers of the crown
Back o’er the road into Boston town,
In Concord and in Lexington before the sun did set.

The carol is regarded by some as the National Christmas hymn of Poland. (source)

Lyrics

Bóg się rodzi, moc truchleje,
Pan niebiosów, obnażony,
Ogień krzepnie, blask ciemnieje,
Ma granice Nieskończony.
Wzgardzony, okryty chwałą,
Śmiertelny Król nad wiekami!

Refrain
A Słowo Ciałem się stało,
I mieszkało między nami.

Cóż masz niebo,
nad ziemiany?
Bóg porzucił
szczęście swoje.
Wszedł między lud ukochany,
Dzieląc z nim trudy i znoje.
Niemało cierpiał, niemało,
Ześmy byli winni sami. Refrain

Translation – God is Born

God is born, the power is tormenting,
Lord of the heavens, stripped,
The fire solidifies, the glow darkens,
He the Limitless takes limit.
Disgraced, covered with glory,
Mortal King over the centuries!

Refrain
And the Word was made flesh,
Has come on earth to dwell among us.

What is your heaven, above the earth?
God has given up His happiness.
He entered among the beloved’s people,
By sharing hardships.
He suffered a lot, not a little,
We were the guilty ones ourselves. Refrain

Lyrics

En sockerbagare här bor i staden,
han bakar kakor mest hela dagen.
Han bakar stora, han bakar små,
han bakar några med socker på.

Och i hans fönster hänga julgranssaker
och hästar, grisar och pepparkakor.
Och är du snäller så kan du få,
men är du stygger så får du gå!

Translation – Sugar Baker

A sugar baker here lives in the city,
He bakes cookies mostly throughout the day.
He bakes big, he bakes small,
He bakes some with sugar on.

And in his window Christmas decorations hang
and horses, pigs and gingerbread cookies.
And if you are nice, you can get some,
but if are you bad, you go!

“Elvas” is a city in Portugal.

Lyrics

Eu hei-de dar ao Menino
Uma fitinha pró chapéu
E ele também me há de dar
Um lugarzinho no céu.

Refrain
Olhei para o céu, estava estrelado
Vi o Deus Menino em palhas deitado.
Em palhas deitado, em palhas estendido,
Filho duma rosa, dum cravo nascido!

Estas palavras disse a Virgem
Ai quando nasceu o Menino
Ai vinde cá meu anjo loiro
Meu sacramento divino Refrain

Translation

I will give to the Boy
A little ribbon for his hat
And he also will give me
A little place in the sky.

Refrain
I looked at the sky, it was starry,
I saw the Christ Child lying on straw.
On straw lying down, in stretched straws,
Son of a rose, of a carnation born!

These words said the Virgin
There when the boy was born
Here comes my blonde angel.
My divine sacrament. Refrain

Lyrics

Willie, bring your little drum
Robin bring your flute and come
We’ll be joyous as you play
Tooralooraloo, pat-a-pat-a-pan
We’ll be joyous as you play
On a Merry Christmas day!

When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
They had pipes on which to play
Tooralooraloo, pat-a-pat-a-pan
They had drums on which to play
Full of joy on Christmas Day.

God and man this day become
Join us one with flute and drum
Let the happy tune play on
Tooralooraloo, pat-a-pat-a-pan
Flute and drum together play
As they sing on Christmas day.
