Intercalado entre nuestros favoritos de la semana, voy a proponeros un viaje con Vaughan Williams y G. Finley. Es el ciclo "canciones de viaje" creado por el compositor británico al principio de su carrera, a comienzos del s. XX. Son unas bellas canciones con texto del gran Robert Louis Stevenson y que os iré poniendo en la matizada, bella, diría que perfecta, interpretación de Gerald Finley con Stephen Ralls al piano
La primera canción es "El vagabundo"
The vagabond
Give to me the life I love,
Let the lave go by me,
Give the jolly heaven above,
And the byway nigh me.
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
Bread I dip in the river -
There's the life for a man like me,
There's the life for ever.
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around,
And the road before me.
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I seek, the heaven above,
And the road below me.
Or let autumn fall on me
Where afield I linger,
Silencing the bird on tree,
Biting the blue finger.
White as meal the frosty field -
Warm the fireside haven -
Not to autumn will I yield,
Not to winter even!
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around,
And the road before me.
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I ask, the heaven above,
And the road below me.

Qué bonitooooooooo!
