k​õ​mri lood

from KANNEL by Sille Ilves

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A bold and inventive recording of traditional Estonian song from an artist deeply rooted in tradition yet utterly unafraid to explore her imagination and embrace the apparent limitations of the seven note kannel.

    12 tracks arranged for solo 7-string kannel (archaic plucked lyre) and voice with sparing accompaniment by hiiu-kannel (bowed lyre) and guitar (long neck, fretted lyre).

    The CD comes in a heavyweight gatefold laminated digipack with postcard by illustrator Peter Stevenson.
    Manufactured by Disc Wizards Ltd.

about

Kõmri Lood (Stories/tunes from Wales)

Trad arr. S. Ilves & Martin Leamon.
First two tunes are traditional tunes popular amongst bagpipers in South- Wales : Mopsi Don and Ty ar Gardd. Both are modified slightly to fit my 7-string kannel.
The last tune is composed by the greatest bagpiper & deepest tradition carrier in Wales Ceri Rhys Matthews “Mae'r afon Rhymni dirion” (Gentle Rhymni River).
The words are traditional in an old peasant poetic form called triban.

lyrics

Sai'n hito dim o'r ddime
am un o fois y Gwynfe.
Ma cystal bechgyn a'r rhai hyn
o'r bryn i Ystalyfera.

Peth ffein yw llath a sifi
peth ffein yw siwgwr candi.
Peth ffein yw myned wedi'r nos
i stafell dlos i garu.




I don't care a dime
For any of the boys of Gwynfe
There are boys as good as these
From Bryn to Ystalyfera

A fine thing is milk and strawberries
A fine thing is sugar candy
A fine thing is to go after dark
To a pretty room to make love




Ma ei hooli isegi ühte münti
ei ühestki poisist Gwynfe külas.
On aga poisse sama häid
alates Bryn külast kuni Ystalyferani.

Magusalt maitseb piim ja maasikad,
magus on suhkrukomm.
Ja magusalt maitseb, kui minna õhtu pimedas
ilusasse ruumi armatsema.
