Parting Glass

"A healing song from Kartli-K'akheti, the lowland ancient regions in eastern Georgia. The title of the song is possibly derived from Nana, the name of an ancient Goddess, also meaning 'lullaby'. This song was traditionally performed at the bed of a sick child to heal them from infectious illnesses." 

"Naninei,
I'll sing Nana to you, Lords,
Nanina to the nobleman's child,
Nanina, nanina, Lord.

Become sweet, have pleasure, Lords,
Nanina to the nobleman's child,
Nanina, nanina, Lord."

Translation and song notes from '99 Georgian Songs' (Edisher Garakanidze; Joseph Jordania; Joan Mills)

Trugnala E Malka Moma

Georgian folk song which translates as:

"The brook brought a piece of wood, cut off from the poplar tree.
Stand still, brook, and tell me, what message Ali has sent me.

On the other bank, doves. Maiden, why do you shy away from me?
You who are so beautiful, you are all grown up."

Nardanina

The passenger steamer Dandenong was shipwrecked off the coast of Jervis Bay in 1876, and forty out of eighty-three passengers were lost in the wreck. This traditional Australian song was taken from an archival recording sung by Mary Byrnes and collected by John Meredith in 1954.  The song describes the anguish of a passenger aboard the sinking ship, thinking of home, loved ones and comfort.

We have taken this version from The Ballina Whalers arrangement of the song. Check out their stuff here: https://www.theballinawhalers.co.uk
