Забыла с тех пор, а я же в разговоре с Esquire рекламирую, оказывается, стоическую песню про китобоев, ждущих поставок чая и сахара. Говорю, что неоригинальна в своих предпочтениях (у видео на ютьюбе 289 миллионов просмотров). Песня прославилась в карантин, когда все её пели на разный манер из своих локдаунов, но до меня дошла только в конце 2022-го. Это подлинная новозеландская sea shanty XIX века, с бродячим морским сюжетом - вариантом Летучего голландца. Когда-нибудь нас сменят и мы поедем по домам, но пока никто не приехал, так что продолжаем плыть за китом. Хорошо, хоть чай есть - значит, работать можно. The Wellerman makes his regular call to encourage the captain, crew and all.
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
