Alfred Deller sings this traditional English song magnificently. Like the song's protagonist I am also from the north country, so I thought I would add some images in celebration of our wonderful countryside.

The incomparable Alfred Deller with an incredibly beautiful performance of the song sung by Feste in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'. Due to an error with my video editor the images continue for a long while after the music ceases.

    BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (from Twelfth Night) When that I was and a little tiny boy, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, A foolish thing was but a toy, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came to man’s estate, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, ’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came, alas! to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day. But when I came unto my beds, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, With toss-pots still had drunken heads, For the rain it raineth every day. A great while ago the world begun, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, But that’s all one, our play is done, And we’ll strive to please you every day.

    "Kiedym był chłopcem beztroskim i miłym, Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz, Błazeńskie sprawki zabawą mi były, Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień. A gdym osiągnął już swój wiek dojrzały, Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz, Jak przed łotrzykiem drzwi się zamykały, Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień. A gdy w małżeński, zgubo, związek wszedłem, Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz, Już moja mina zupełnie mi zrzedła, Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień. A gdy wieczorem kładłem się do łóżka, Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz, Głowę pijaną ćmiła faramuszka, Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień. Dawno już temu, jak ziemia stworzona, Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz, A nam cóż o to? Komedia skończona, Grać ją będziemy tak w koło dzień w dzień!". Przekład: Stanisław Dygat (1951 r.)

    I couldn't help but notice the odd minute of silence at the end. It's because there's a section of the song missing before the last verse: But when I came unto my beds, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, With tosspots still had drunken heads, For the rain, it raineth every day. No idea why it was cut here.

      @@Art-zp1qg Its about the stages that men go through in their lives. The "wind and the rain" suggest the difficulties of life are always with you. Feste was the only one with self-knowledge throughout the play from beginning to the end. In the last stanza, he draws the attention of the audience to the line between reality and illusion. He reminds them that they've been watching a play, but real life (the life outside) doesn't resemble the plays you see. Life is cruel, full of unpleasant facts. People do not survive shipwrecks like Viola and Sebastian. People can't marry the people they really love. In some sense, the facts of life has to be endured, we can't escape them. Because of this reason the players are there to "strive to please you every day". In a way, the clown reminds you that it can be repeated anytime, and that whatever happened is not really the end.
