„DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SING



KULTURÁLIS ISMERETEK TANÍTÁSA DALOK ÉS MONDÓKÁK SEGÍTSÉGÉVEL

A műhelyfoglalkozás anyagát a napjainkban használatos nyelvoktatási módszerek céljaihoz és a tanulók életkori sajátosságaihoz igazodva úgy állítottam össze, hogy nem elsősorban az irodalmat, a képzőművészetet vagy a klasszikus zenét, hanem inkább a hétköznapi kultúrát céloztam meg. Ehhez kiváló alapot szolgáltatnak a népdalok, gyermekdalok, mondókák, közmondások, melyek a hagyományos népi kultúrát tükrözik és adják tovább nemzedékről nemzedékre. A rendelkezésemre álló bőséges anyagból a következő szempontok szerint válogattam: üdvözlés, étkezés, ünnepek és hétköznapok. A dalok kottáját sajnos nem tudom mellékelni: egy részük közismert, de van olyan is, amely még nem jelent meg nyelvkönyvben. A megfelelő tanári magyarázattal kiegészített kulturális ismeretek közvetítésén túl a dalok, mondókák, nyelvtörők nyelvtani, szókincs-bővítő és fonetikai célokat is szolgálhatnak. A sokszorosított anyag (és a jelenlegi összefoglaló is) forrásmunkák és webhelyek felsorolásával zárul.

„DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SING. IT WOULD BE VERY QUIET IN THE FOREST IF ONLY THOSE BIRDS SANG WHO CAN SING BEST.”

GREETINGS:

Good morning, good morning, good morning to you!

Good morning, good morning and how do you do.

„Moo cow, moo cow, how do you do cow?”

„Very well, thank you, moo, moo, moo.”

My name is Bill Foster, my home is in Glocester,

I work in a textile mill there.

When I walk down the street all the people I meet say,

„Hello, what’s your name?” and I say …

MEALS

One bottle beer, two bottle beer, ( three bottle beer, ( four bottle beer,

Five bottle beer, six bottle beer, ( seven bottle ( beer.

Fish and chips and vinegar, vinegar, vinegar

Fish and chips and vinegar, pepper pepper pepper pot.

The more we get together, together, together

The more we get together the merrier we’ll be.

(For your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends,

The more we get together the merrier we’ll be.)

THE MUFFIN MAN

Do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man?

Do you know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane?

Yes, I know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man.

Yes, I know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane.

COCKLES AND MUSSELS

In Dublin’s fair city where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow

Crying, „Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o.”

Chorus:

Alive alive-o, alive alive-o,

Crying, „Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o”

She was a fishmonger and sure ’twas no wonder

For so were her father and mother before.

And they each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow

Crying, „Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o.”

She died of a fever and no-one could save her,

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.

Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow

Crying, „Cockles and mussles, alive alive-o.”

LEWIS BRIDAL SONG (Scottish folk song)

Chorus:

Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe,

Arm in arm and row on row, all for Mairi’s wedding.

Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown,

Past the sheiling, thro’ the town, all for sake o’ Mairi.

Red her cheeks as rowans are, bright her eye as any star,

Fairest o’ them a’ by far, is our darling Mairi.

Plenty herring, plenty meal, plenty peat to fill her creel,

Plenty bonnie bairns as weel; that’s the toast for Mairi.

THERE WAS AN OLD LADY …

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider that wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.

How absurd to swallow a bird!

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.

Fancy that she swallowed a cat!

She swallowed the cat to catch the bird, she swallowed the bird to catch the spider, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don’t know why she swallowed the fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.

Oh what a hog, to swallow a dog!

She swallowed the dog the catch the cat, she swallowed the cat to catch the bird she swallowed the bird to catch the spider, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don’t know why she swallowed the fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cow. I don’t know how she swallowed a cow.

She swallowed the cow to catch the dog, she swallowed the dog to catch the cat, she swallowed the cat to catch the bird, she swallowed the bird to catch the spider, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don’t know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse.

She’s dead, of course.

BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full.

One for my Master and one for my Dame,

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

This little pig went to market,

And this little pig stayed at home.

This little pig had all roast beef,

And this little pig had none.

And this little pig went wee-wee-wee

All the way home.

LONDON BRIDGE

London Brodge is falling down, falling down, falling down.

London bridge is falling down, my fair lady.

Build it up with bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, Build it up with bricks and mortar, my fair lady.

Bricks and mortar will not stay …

Build it up with iron and steel …

Iron and steel will bend and bow …

Build it up with silver and gold …

Silver and gold will be stolen away …

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.

For want of a horse, the rider was lost.

For want of a rider, the battle was lost.

For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
