"Now is the month of maying" is one of the most famous of the English balletts (a light dancelike part song similar to a madrigal, frequently with a 'fa-la-la' chorus). It was written by Thomas Morley and published in 1595. It is based on the canzonet So ben mi ch'a bon tempo used by Orazio Vecchi in his 1590 Selva di varia ricreatione. It was printed in Thomas Morley's First Book of Ballets to Five Voyces (1595). The Spring, clad all in gladness,Doth laugh at Winter's sadness,Fa la la, etc... And to the bagpipe's soundThe nymphs tread out their ground. Fa la la, etc...

  • "Now is the month of maying" estas unu el la plej famaj anglaj baletoj (etaj korusaj verkoj, similaj al madrigaloj, ofte rekoneblaj pro "fa-la-la" refreno). Ĝi estis skribita de Thomas Morley kaj eldonita en 1595. Ĝi estas bazita sur la kanto So ben mi ch'a bon tempo, uzita de en sia verko Selva di varia ricreatione, en la jaro 1590. Ĝi estis fine eldonita en la Unua Libro de Kvinvoĉaj Baletoj de Thomas Morley (1595). Ŝajne traktanta printempan dancadon, ĝi fakte estas metaforo de amindumado kaj seksumado. Ekzemple, "barley-break" (laŭlitere, "hordea-paŭzo") sugestus subĉielan seksumadon (preskaŭ kiel "roll in the hay", "ruliĝi en la fojno", en la nuntempa angla). (eo)
  • "Now is the month of maying" is one of the most famous of the English balletts (a light dancelike part song similar to a madrigal, frequently with a 'fa-la-la' chorus). It was written by Thomas Morley and published in 1595. It is based on the canzonet So ben mi ch'a bon tempo used by Orazio Vecchi in his 1590 Selva di varia ricreatione. It was printed in Thomas Morley's First Book of Ballets to Five Voyces (1595). The song delights in bawdy double-entendre. It is apparently about spring dancing, but this is a metaphor for making love/having sex. For example, a "barley-break" would have suggested outdoor sexual activity (rather like we might say a "roll in the hay"). The use of such imagery and puns increased during the Renaissance. The ballett forms a key part of Oxford's May Morning celebrations, where the choir of Magdalen College sing the verses from the roof of the college's Great Tower. It was also heard in 1964 on The Andy Griffith Show episode "The Song Festers". Now is the month of maying,When merry lads are playing, Fa la la la la la la la la,Fa la la la la la la lah.Each with his bonny lassUpon the greeny grass. Fa la la la la la la la la, etc... The Spring, clad all in gladness,Doth laugh at Winter's sadness,Fa la la, etc... And to the bagpipe's soundThe nymphs tread out their ground. Fa la la, etc... Fie then! why sit we musing,Youth's sweet delight refusing? Fa la la, etc...Say, dainty nymphs, and speak,Shall we play barley break? Fa la la etc... (en)
