Subject: Need help identifying song From: GUEST,lora Date: 03 Sep 14 - 01:22 AM My mum used to sing a really nice song but my brother and I can only remember a couple of snippets from the chorus. They were "Aye, aye, aye, aye, sing bane sorrow....gladdens the morrow" The tune is the Mexican song "Cielto Lindo" but the words are different. I've spent hours on the net searching for it but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song-tune is Cielito Lindo From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Sep 14 - 02:25 AM Hi, Lora - I added a bit to the thread title to make it a little more identifiable. I looked all over, and couldn't find your song. But maybe somebody else will help. Keep checking this thread over the next few days. Joe Offer, Music Editor joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song From: Amos Date: 03 Sep 14 - 02:31 AM There are several poems from the 19th C that use the phrase "gladden the morrow" but none are a match to the phrases you mention. See if you can come up with anymore snippets of the lyrics? A |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song-tune is Cielito Lindo From: Steve Gardham Date: 03 Sep 14 - 06:30 PM In the 50s charts there was an English language version of the song which was very popular, but it may have just been called Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay. Worth looking through the chart hit lists for that period. The only bits that I can remember are 'We go together like peaches and cream and we are most wonderful people.' It may have been translated from the Spanish. The tune was so popular at one time in Britain that it was adopted as a football terrace chant and can still be heard on the terraces. |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song-tune is Cielito Lindo From: GUEST,Grishka Date: 04 Sep 14 - 02:40 AM The snippet from the OP sounds like a (free) translation of the original lyrics. "Sing and don't cry" or "Sing, and you won't cry" would be the literal meaning. See Wikipedia. |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song-tune is Cielito Lindo From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 04 Sep 14 - 05:23 AM I assume that you don't mean the song "Waltz Me Around Again Willie" which is just a string of limericks with a chorus between each. |

Subject: RE: Need help identifying song-tune is Cielito Lindo From: Snuffy Date: 17 Sep 14 - 08:58 AM Steve G - I think it may have been called "You, Me and Us". The chorus was something like: You, me and us: those are my favourite people We both go together like peaches and cream Or bells and a church and a steeple. |

Subject: Lyrics ADD: You Me and Us From: maeve Date: 17 Sep 14 - 09:30 AM Thanks to the collective memories of previous posters, more information came to light: "Cielito Lindo is a popular traditional song of Mexico, written in 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortes (c. 1859-1957) and arranged for the mandolin by John Hayes of East Sussex, UK. If the tune sounds vaguely familiar to you it was turned into a song and recorded by Alma Cogan" Tom Cunliffe on Mandolin ...which led me to an eBay listing for a 78: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-1956-ALMA-COGAN-78-YOU-ME-AND-US-THREE-BOTHERS-UK-HMV-POP-284-EX-/120848269348 "UK HMV POP 284 10" 78rpm SHELLAC - The Music for "You, Me, and Us" is based on the Mexican traditional folk song, "Cielito Lindo." The song is credited to John Jerome for both words and music, but undoubtedly only the lyrics were actually his creation." and this sound recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYWDscvU0J0 You Me And Us ( 1957 ) Lyrics John Jerome Music 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortes (c. 1859-1957) as sung by Alma Cogan YOU ME AND US (Lyrics John Jerome, Music 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortes) You, me and us We are my favourite people We all go together like peaches and cream Or bells with a church and a steeple Some people I know, I'm fond of and so All day I keep singing about them For one of them's you and, Darling, it's true I find that I can't live without them You, me and us We are my favourite people We all go together like peaches and cream Or bells with a church and a steeple The stars were as bright as diamonds the night We met and we danced and we flirted With one look at you, my dream had come true And nothing will ever divert it You, me and us We are my favourite people We all go together like peaches and cream Or bells with a church and a steeple Now, outside of town we all settled down Our place isn't big, but it's cosy I know that you're mine and ev'rything's fine Our future forever is rosy You, me and us We are my favourite people We all go together like peaches and cream Or bells with a church and a steeple Yes, we all go together like peaches and cream You, me and us! |
