drinking water KILLS ;-)

...Which is roughly translated from the old Auvergne song, "L'Aio de Rotso."

I first heard this in Kiri Te Kanawa's delightful album "Chants d'Auvergne."  The CD conveniently comes with not only the lyrics, but an English translation of them.  These old pastoral-society folksongs just show how universal ideas can be!

I didn't find a video of HER singing the song -- second-best is the best I can share with you.  Inspired by the lowcarbdiabetic team and their "Saturday music night" I offer you:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz8f8NpHPvY

  1. Nice one Tess

    Great music, but wasted on Graham I'm afraid. If it ain't got drums and a bass player he can't handle it.

    Regards Eddie

    Wasted on you too Eddie your tone deaf, it's only at Jans behest that you post anything of worth to music lovers.

    Thanks to Jan I know all about your infatuation with the Osmonds and your latest love Miley Cyrus, I've heard that you've taken up twerking not a pretty sight according to Jan.

    Apologies Tess but I could not let the old farts comment go unanswered.

    Regards
    Graham
