André Rieu & Mirusia performing "Botany Bay" Live in Melbourne.
Original lyrics Botany Bay:
Farewell to old England forever,
Farewell to my old pals as well,
Farewell to the well--known Old Bailey
Where once I used to look such a swell.
Chorus:
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity,
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-ay,
Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity,
And we're bound for Botany Bay.
There's the captain as is our commander,
There's the bo'sun and all the ship's crew,
There's the first-- and the second--class passengers,
Knows what we poor convicts go through.
'Taint leaving old England we cares about,
'Taint cos we mis-spells what we knows,
But because all we light--fingered gentry
Hops around with a log on our toes.
These seven long years I've been serving now
And seven long more have to stay,
All for bashing a bloke down our alley
And taking his ticker away.
Oh had I the wings of a turtle--dove,
I'd soar on my pinions so high,
Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love,
And in her sweet presence I'd die.
Now all my young Dookies and Duchesses,
Take warning from what I've to say:
Mind all is your own as you toucheses
Or you'll find us in Botany Bay.
Im not even Australian -I’m Colombian- but why does Mirussia manage to make me cry. This is such a beautiful piece and performance.
This is a very slow version of- it is actually quite a ‘rollicking’ sing. That is it is usually sung quite fast and in a drunken manner.
Yes, she puts her heart into it, and touches the hearts of all who hear her and see her perform. Her expressions communicate so much.
I'm not an Australian, but what a wonderful song this is. Vocally, I am particularly enamored with female vocals in different styles of music such as classical, modern, opera, dance/trance, rock/metal and many more. This piece brings out the variety of Mirussia's excellent voice. As Andre said at her first performance; "This is the voice of an angel". And that is the absolute truth.
Buenísimo ❤
Nothing to add but l agree 🎉😢
If the angels in heaven can sing like Mirusia, I'm going to start going back to church!
She has done Australia and herself proud on the world stage...Bravo Mirusia we Aussies love you.

Beautiful lady singing a beautiful Australian Ballad. You Aussies ought to be very proud of a wonderful representative of your beautiful country!
We Dutch love her too
A true start ❤
I've watched this more often than almost any otersontgs I love. It is just spellbinding. I'm 70. Nov. 1, 2023 St. Joseph, MO, USA
It didn’t sound like this when we sang it at school! 💜
PRZEPIEKNY GLOS...FANTASTYCZNY PRZEKAZ...NIGDY SIE NIE ZAPOMINA TAKIEGO ANIELSKIEGO GLOSU ))) GRATULUJE TALENTU I ZYCZE WSPANIALYC H KONCERTOW I WIELKIEJ SŁAWY ))) 🌿✨🌿✨🌹🌿✨🌹🌿🌹✨
Beautiful Mirusia. You always bring us the best ever ❤❤❤
She does sing like an angel.
Porque es una genia
I am British Born and went to a Derbyshire school, and we used to hear music at school on the Radio I am sure this is one of the songs we used to sing along to, as well as the I am Australian song as I know the words and chorus off by heart?
When is she coming to Holland she has such a strong personality and has presence on stage that today soprano don't have
I will be in Brisbane in mid April. Hope to find one of her shows. She is so great. I am from the U.S. and watch her with Andre Rieu.
In my opinion she is the best soprano ever.
once again Andre Rieu brings a super star to the world of classical music!!
I was at this concert... I was about 4 at the time and I was with my great aunt, great uncle and parents. 10 years later and I've been playing violin for nearly 9 years. André Rieu, you have been my inspiration and idol throughout this journey, love you!!!❤
I am not one for classical music fair dinkum and crikey. But this man Andre has such a wonderful inspiring things of the love he does. You might say I have a Minecraft upon him. I think he's a genius the best classical musician I have ever known-in the last 100 years-no wonderful man how many to make me appreciate classical music the way I do now-fantastic beautiful wonderful man. Excellent he is when people say that they love music should they failed to mention this man's name-no respect shall they ever get from me?.
@@bradhewetson
You know... your comment is very beautiful, sounds like a peom I heard once.
So the haters will hate-this man is dignified-this man is gracious and humble-even as He stands at the top of the world-as the greatest classical composer-still he has dignity homepage Westpac to his adoring fans-which I am one of by the should you say one negative word I will set you down and dismiss you with ignorance. This man is an absolute genius legend that is it that is all.
Bravo
Only Mirusia could sing this song with such feelings a true Australian does the arrangement justice Thank you Andre for bringing this rendition to Australia
I always love to see these kinds of essential historical pieces paid their dues in musicality like this woman's wonderful voice and with proper accompaniment. Cheers Aussies 🍻 I'm about as Australian as bratwurst but I love you lads and Sheilas 🎉
Mirusia is an Aussie of Dutch heritage.❤❤❤❤
I sang this song in since I was a child. I have sung it for over 50 yrs. I have never heard it done better. She is an angel with a public address system for a voice. She is not only on perfect pitch she has incredible volume.

The voice of a angel
Wow, as an Australian I love this song. I was near Botany Bay today. My great-grandparents migrated as free settlers from Orkney, Scotland to South Australia. Should be national anthem. We should not forget our humble roots as convicts, lest we are ensnared by hubris.
Yes sure
I am not Australian and I love this song... I can only imagine what it sounds like to you!!
Coming to South Australia the song would have been We are bound for South Australia a song we all love.
Fifty or a hundred years ago to have a convict ancestor was a badge of shame, today it’s a badge of honour. Mine arrived from Dublin, curtesy of the British King, in 1816.

Ich habe dieses Lied seit meiner Kindheit gesungen. Ich habe es über 50 Jahre lang gesungen. Ich habe noch nie gehört, dass es besser gemacht wurde. Sie ist ein Engel mit einer Beschallungsanlage als Stimme. Sie hat nicht nur eine perfekte Tonhöhe, sie hat auch eine unglaubliche Lautstärke.
Bravo Mirusia, wir Australier lieben dich....Ich als deutscher auch...Bravo, ganz große klasse
Was für eine Stimme ....das haut dich vom Hocker....
Gyönyörű zene és gyönyörű dal amit Mírusia ad elő csodálatos hangon. Köszönöm szépen hogy láthattam és halhattam
Itt még szépen dalol! Manapság sikít, próbálkozik, néha sikerül, néha nem! Ma TOP1000KÖSZÖNÖM
Usually New Zealand and Australia fight over who has the rights to what but well done Australia from at least one person in New Zealand for producing a lovely lady with a gorgeous voice. I bet you are all proud.
Marusia is surely an Australian national treasure.
Que estúpidos. Pelear por eso?
She is sublime,but we love our NZ cousins❤❤❤.I love Sir John Rowles ❤❤❤
Absolutely a beautiful voice, a real joy to listen to....Are you sure you were not stolen by the Aussies from us Kiwis???? No matter I could listen to you all day and all night.
Think she was born in Brisbane mate...
@@E83X yeah mate ... she is an Aussie from Dutch stock like me....I don`t live far from Botany Bay...I love this song which Mirusia performs like no other , my goose bumps get goose bumps each time I hear it.
This is beautiful and she sings with such great performance out of her heart and beautiful attitude and feeling
I am not Australian, but Mirusia's singing this song brings tears ❤️
Beautiful song !!! Congratulations MIRUSIA, Congratulations ANDRE RIEU & JSO !!!!
Gyönyörű énekesnő gyönyörű hanggal. Köszönöm szépen hogy láthattam és halhattam
Beautiful voice, Mirusia!! You put the rest of us Australians to shame :,( thanks for the upload, love from down south
You have Judith Durham, for my money the finest folk singer ever
What an absolute pleasure to listen to your beautiful voice, and thank you,Andre rieu for all what you have done!
Possibly the first Australian song, it was first formally written down in the late nineteenth century, but that was based on a drinking song popular in Sydney and London in the 1780’s and 1790’s as transportation of convicts to Sydney was a new thing. It is appropriate that the song didn’t have a composer but organically grew in the drinking establishments of those poor people affected by transportation, and it meant enough to those people that it was kept alive in the community memory for a hundred years before a composer finally set it down on paper.

Don’t forget our First Nations people ❤
It’s a beautiful song.❤
One of many songs that sum up this place
@@adammuggleton4107 Of course not. Perhaps I should have said the first Australian song since European settlement.
Mirusia sings a great song beautifully. Aussies are an independent welcoming people and this song never fails to stir emotions. Thanks for posting.
You know I learnt this song at state school in fifth-grade my teacher was Mr Savage at Alphington State School I remember it so well we came in from lunch and we sat there and learned this song and I think the year was 1965 yours Jeff Rosebud Melbourne Victoria Australia

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
it s a gorgeous interpretation . .. It s a beautifull and touching music. I love Mirusia
Just Beautiful! I am sure the people of Australia loved you both performing this!
We do
Most Australians don't appreciate what we have here in our land and people. It's something extraordinarily precious. Let's appreciate and treasure what we have.
We have trump. Do I need to say more? Australians are lucky to be where they are.
With out Ireland you would of had nothing and still be bigger brits today
Yes! Unfortunately your beautiful people are being replaced, as we are in every once-great nation created by our ancestors.
Such a beautiful voice, and a moving song. Every Australian knows it well. We created a nation out of nothing - we have much to be proud of.
Many British people know it well to? we learnt it at school via the BBC school radio service. My cousin emigrated to Australia and sadly died there. I was tempted to follow him however I went to Kenya instead?
You can't understand a word she is singing for
Suzan is a better singet.
Fantastic singing❤
Incredible Ancient History in Song and Verse

Marusia is surely an Australian national treasure.

Greetings the angel of Australia well I saw your concert back in early February in Frankston arts Centre I’ve been watching you on the Andre roo concerts for many years and I think you’re absolutely wander and a beautiful thing about it that you’re an Australian girl I know from a Dutch background but we all got some type of background here in Australia anyway enjoy your life and be careful and safe yours Jeff Melbourne Australia
what a lovely voice not to mention coming from a very lovely young lady!!! from the look on their faces i would say everyone at this Melbourne Concert got their monies worth!!!! this sounded like a WW2 song??
No, it about the discovery of Australia by Captain James Cook and his ship the endevour. Botany Bay (near Sydney) is where they landed.
@@Tel1954 Not according to the words of the song.
@@shulamitgolan9901 You are correct. I don't know why i thought it was1770. The first fleet in 1788 is much more likely.
This is so beautiful
Stunning lady with a stunning voice
Bellísima sobradamente bella hecha realidad. Gracias Mirusia, gracias Andre Rieu
This absolutly Beautfull an Gorgeous Lady has the voice of an Angel. Wat a beautifull song. Can listen 2 her all day. Xxx
