Another song from the Wine section of our concert “Raise Your Glasses: Drinking Songs From Around the World”.
This song tells of the cycle of the production and consumption of wine – beginning with the fruit on the vine, passing from barrel to bottle to glass, and eventually back to the earth again.
I first heard this sung by Sylvia Kahn on an album called “Hootenanny Tonight”.
Lyrics and chords:
… E
Planton la vigne
………. A ……….. E
La voila la jolie vigne
………….. B7 ….. E
Vigni vigni vignon le vin
…………….. B7 ……………… E
La voila la jolie vigne au vin
…………….. B7…. E
La voila la jolie vigne.
De vigne en branche.
La voila la jolie branche
Branchi branchi branchon le vin
La voila la jolie branche au vin
La voila la jolie branche.
Du branche en grappe
Du grappe en haut
Du haut en cuve
Du cuve en tonne
De tonne en crushe
De crushe en verre.
Du verre en bouche
De bouche en ventre
Du ventre en terre.
