differenze tra modern ballad e medieval ballad

Differences of the ballads



Analisi e differenza tra due ballate medievale e moderna in lingua inglese Eppie Morie a At the beginning. In questo allegato è presente quindi l'analisi di queste due ballate. Vengono riportati i testi delle due ballate e un commento sulle opere degli autori che li hanno prodotti.

The author of the medieval ballad (Eppie Morrie) is more or less unknown, we don't know their date of origin, they were everybody's property and their text changed during the time. The author of the modern ballads (At the beginning) is always know, we can date them, their texts never changed.
The second difference which we can see between the ballads is their structure. The old one have a very simple structure: they are composed of short stanzas of two or four lines and they usually rhymed in some way. The modern ballads do not have any particular form, they are composed very freely and they are higlily individual work. They can have refrains ( repetition of words ) like the old ballads, but it is not always the case. The old ballads were written for the unschooled and illiterate people, the modern one are written for educated public, for the intellectuals , and this fact mades a great difference between them.
The language of the old ballads is therefore very clear and simple, but the language of the modern ballads can be very complicated and not easy to remember and to understand. 
Estratto del documento

Four-and-twenty Highland men

Came a' from Carrie side,

To steal awa Eppie Morrie

'Cause she would not be a bride.

Out it's came her mother,

It was a moonlight night,

She could not see her daughter,

Their swords they shin'd so bright.

Haud far awa frae me, mother,

Haud far awa frae me;

There's not a man in a' Strathdon

Shall wedded be with me.

They have taken Eppie Morrie

And horseback bound her on,

And then awa to the minister

As farst as horse could gang.

He's taken out a pistol

And se it to the minister's breast;

Marry me, marry me, minister,

Or else I'll be your priest.

Haud far awa frae me, good sir,

Haud far awa frae me;

For there's not a man in all Strathdon

That shall married be with me.

Haud far awa frae me, Willie,

Haud far awa frae me;

For I darna vow to marry you

Except she's a willing as ye,

They have taken Eppie Morrie

Since better could nae be,

And they're awa to Carrie side

As fast as horse could flee.

When mass was sung and bells were rung

And all were bound for bed,

Then Willie an' Eppie Morrie

In one bed they were laid.

Haud far awa frae me Willie,

Haud far awa frae me;

Before I'll lose my maidenhead

I'll try my strength with thee.

She took the cap from off her head

And threw it to the way,

Said, Ere I lose my maidenhead

I'll fight with you till day.

Then early in the morning

Before her clothes were on,

In came the maiden of Scalletter,

Gown and shirt alone.

Get up, get up, young woman,

And drink the wine wi' me.--

You might have called maiden,

I'm sure as leal as thee.

Wally fa' you Willie,

That ye could nae prove a man

And ta'en the lassie's maidenhead;

She would have hired your han'.

Haud far awa frae me, lady,

Haud far awa frae me;

There's not a man in a' Strathdon

The day shall wed wi' me.

Soon there came Belbordlane

With a pistol on every side;

Come awa hame, Eppie Morrie,

And there you'll be my bride.

Go get to me a horse, Willie,

And get it like a man,

And send me back to my mother

A maiden as I cam.

The sun shines o'er the westlin hills:

By the light lamp of the moon

Just saddle your horse, young John Forsyth,

And whistle and I'll come soon.

Modern Ballad

At The Beginning

Richard Marx and

Donna Lewis

We were strangers, starting out on a journey

Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through

Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing

At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you

Unexpected, what you did to my heart

When I lost hope, you were there to remind me

This is the start

[Chorus:]

And life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you
