  • Great and funny song from The Inspector General--Warner Bros. 1949. Starring Danny Kaye
    LYRICS
    Whisking through the whispering woods on a wild Romani pony
    With a yak yak yak, and a yak se drak, and a yak se drak se donye.
    Rides the gypsy
    The gypsy
    The gee-eee-eee-ipsy
    The gip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ip-ipsy.
    The world thinks him careless and tipsy and free
    But oh, the poor gypsy (scream, squeak, gasp)
    His lot is not what it ought to be. For...
    Night and day and day and night there's a man they're sick of obeying
    With a whip
    In his hand.
    Over gypsy he stand.
    And this is what he is saying:
    Um. Hum. Hmm.
    Play gypsy, sing gypsy, dance gypsy, laugh gypsy, cry gypsy, live gypsy, die gypsy
    DRINK...gypsy.
    Drink to goodbyes and drink to hellos.
    Drink to the open; drink to the closed.
    Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will drink with my nose.
    And so we drink!
    But first we sing.
    Pause while Danny Kaye teaches chorus to his audience. It consists of "zoom," "shtock, shtock," and "Ha!Ha!Ha!" and another song--look at the bottom of the Description for lyrics/transcription, care of QAZRUS.
    Play, gypsy, sing gypsy, dance gypsy, leap gypsy, dream gypsy, slide gypsy, slink gypsy
    DRINK...gypsy.
    And so we drink.
    But first we play.
    Pause while Danny Kaye plays violin
    Play gypsy, sing gypsy, dance gypsy, smile gypsy, wink gypsy, blink gypsy, shrink gypsy
    DRINK...gypsy.
    And so we drink.
    But first we dance.
    Pause while Danny Kaye does flaming sword dance
    And so we drink
    To everyone we admire.
    To the girl who sets your heart a glow and sets your heart on...FIRE!
    And so we drink!
    (from theboard.byu.edu/questions/25500/)
    **QAZRUS'S ASSISTANCE**
    The song called "Ах зачем эта ночь" [ah, zachem eta noch], "Ow, why is this night".
    There is a lyrics for you, you can add them to description.
    russian
    "Ах, зачем эта ночь
    zoom
    так было хороша
    shtok-shtok
    Не болела бы грудь,
    ahaha
    не страдала душа."
    transcripted
    "Ah, zachem eta noch
    zoom
    tak byla khorosha
    shtok-shtok
    ne bolela by grud'
    ahaha
    ne stradala dusha"
    and if you interested
    translated [by me]
    "Ow, why is this night
    zoom
    was so good(lovely)
    shtok-shtok
    if only wouldn't ache the chest
    ahaha
    if only wouldn't suffer the soul
    "
    but this is not the end of it.
    russian romance part ending and he's starting to sing faster. This is ukrainian song "Їхав козак за Дунай", and here is lyrics:
    russian
    "Лучше было бы, лучше было бы не ходить,
    Лучше было бы, лучше было бы не любить,
    Лучше было бы, лучше было бы и не знать,
    Как теперь, как теперь забывать."
    ukrainian
    "Лучше було б, лучше було б не ходити,
    Лучше було б, лучше було б не любити,
    Лучше було б, лучше було б та й не знати,
    Як тепер, як тепер забувати."
    but there is a thing, Danny is using mix of this two languages [I don't know why], so he's singing like this:
    Danny's version
    "Лучше было бы, лучше было бы не ходити,
    Лучше было бы, лучше было бы не любити,
    Лучше было бы, лучше та й не знати,
    Чем теперь, чем теперь забыва...
    you want something to drink..."
    traslation
    "It would be better, it would be better not to go,
    It would be better, it would be better not to love,
    It would be better, it would be better not to know
    Than it is now to forget.."
    **END**

      @robertmcpherson1617 Рік тому +2

      Well, it's close. For the longest time, it was this one for me. Then I saw The Court Jester (again) and found some fun things that resonated more than before so it took first place. Then...time passed, life added a few more angles and shades to my essence and I saw The Inspector General (also again) and it quickly regained its place as #1. So, it seems that every time I watch one of these two movies, it becomes my favorite -- until of course, I see the other one again!

    This movie was released 75 years ago. I remember when I saw it the first time. My mother used to work in a nursery home for elderly people. This was before cable or satellite TV became available in town, so now and then the nursery home would receive some VHS movies (feel good movies which were harmless and innocent) which they kept for a month or so before returning them and receiving new ones (I had a feeling the movies were being shipped between various nursing homes in the country). Once the movies had been shown for the elderly, the employees would sometimes take the movies with them home so their children could see them too before returning them. The only movies I remember we saw was this one and The Cat from Outer Space.

He was a good comedian. He was good at singing fast & tongue twisting. My favorite movies of his is "Court Jester" & "White Christmas." On March 3, 2017 will be Danny's 30th death anniversary. He died 4 yrs before I was born.
