- "Spanish Ladies", performed by Jerry Bryant and Starboard Mess, from the album "Roast Beef of Old England". The painting is by British marine painter Geoff Hunt.
Combine this video with some ambient sea sounds for best effect!
Spanish Ladies is a traditional British naval song, describing a voyage from Spain to the Downs from the viewpoint of ratings of the Royal Navy.
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we have received orders
To sail for old England,
We hope in a short time to see you again.
(Chorus:)
We'll rant and we'll roar, like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas;
Until we strike soundings
In the Channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.
We hove our ship to, with the wind from sou'west, boys,
We hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;
It's forty-five fathoms,
With a white sandy bottom,
We squared our main yard and up channel did steer.
Now, the first land we sighted, it is called the Dodman,
Next Ramshead off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight;
We sailed on by Beachy,
By Fairly and Dungeness,
And we hove our ship to off the South Foreland Light.
Then the signal was given for the grand fleet to anchor,
And all in the Downs that night for to lie;
Let go your shank painter,
Likewise, your cat stopper,
Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly.
Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper,
And let ev'ry man toss off his full glass;
We'll sing and be jolly,
And drown melancholy,
And here's to health of each true-hearted lass.
Master and Commander brought me here.
Hell of a movie that. Wave the Union Jack proudly lads! Rule Britannia!
Excellent movie, excellent book. I am enjoying the Alan Lewrie series by Dewie Lambdin now. A bit more of a John Paul Jones type in the Errol Flynn swashbuckling settings and stuck on the edge of Clintonesque peccadilloes, he fights his ship like it was personal (against Guilliam Shundar, it was). They make great audio books.
I see you have good taste in movies good sir
Absolutely fantastic movie
One of the greatest movies of all time. I’d kill for a movie like that these days but it’d never happen.
I wish a sequel was made before the world went mad
“ you go in the cage? Cage goes in the water.. sharks in the water.. our shark”
I love that movie! 🦈
came here for that

Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies, (alt: "...to Spanish ladies")
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain; (alt: "...to ladies of Spain;")

We'll rant and we'll roar, like true British sailors,

The Royal Navy was defeated multiple times by the Spanish Navy, but History omits it.
Francis Drake, was defeated in Veracruz in the battle of San Juan de Ulua in 1568.
The Invincible English, invasion fleet sent by Isabel I to defeat to the Spanish navy, was defeated by Spain and its navy in 1589.
Edward Vernon was defeated in Cartagenas De Indias by Blas de Lezo in 1741.
Horacio Nelson, the great victor of Trafalgar, was defeated in Tenerife, Spain, 25 of July of 1797.
Someone infamous once said, 'history is written by the victors'...
We still hold Gibraltar
Every country has been defeated at one point...
*Names 5 cases in the last 500 years of history*
Yeah sure we're not literally invincible, but we're pretty damn formidable.
Not that you Spaniards are bad sailors yourselves.
Yes, and the United States lost Pearl Harbor! LMFAO!!!
Quint did it better sorry.

@@karenblackadder9446 That kind of ships was only in the Mediterranean. They were prisoners. There are many myths. Like the Spanish Inquisition, which killed "only" 3000 people, with trials and lawyers and possibility of regret, in 300 years. In England, 230000 people died due to religious issues, most of them killed wildly in public festivities. In France, 3 million people died in religious wars. The English in India traded food crops for cotton crops for the English textile industry, and 20 million Indians died. When the English left India, there was still caste system. In Alabama there was aparheid until 1960, and in South Africa until 1990 (lands of British culture). We did 50 universities in Spanish America, and we gave them a language and a religion of peace. The British only dealt with the whites of the empire. In the English industrial revolution there were 8-year-old women and children dragging coal wagons, and receiving lashes, because the economy was the only important thing. Now we have Brexit and Trump's wall with Mexico. Yes, for a while we had people rowing boats, prisoners, murderers and thieves. Those skirmishes you say were the defeat of Drake in 1589, the invincible English. Then Drake died in the Caribbean. Another skirmish: when the English lost in Cartagena de Indias, in 1741, the biggest English defeat (and that's why 200 million people speak Spanish in Central America and great Colombia). Or in 1779-80, when Spain made a naval blockade to England, capturing 80 British ships, and liberating the southern United States: independence from the thirteen colonies.
And we gave the Spanish dollar to the United States. We also created the first parliament in Europe, and the first patented steam engine, 150 years after the English knew how to use it. And we brought globalization and great capitalism and the modern age. We lost?
What's the old saying, you may have won those battles but you lost the war. Trafalgar was decisive.
@@floralwallpaperenthusiast6631 A few months later, Napoleon won in Austerlitz. And in 1806-1807, Spain won the battle in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. That is why the language in the southern cone is Spanish.
I see we found a Spanish Nationalist by the way hows that empire doing?

The English language is very beautiful. But most of the world's people don't speak English thanks to the British Empire. In 1948 the British Empire died, and the most international language was French.
We speak English 15 minutes a day on the Internet, or 3 days a year as tourists, due to the United States, which made itself, from 13 small colonies, and which has 60% of the maternal English speakers in the world . Spain discovered America and gave independence to the United States, and the Spanish dollar, defeating the British. At that time, 1783, Spain had 65% of the current United States territory, from Florida to Alaska, New Orleans, and the entire west and south coast. es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Imperios_Espa%C3%B1ol_y_Portugu%C3%A9s_1790.svg
The United States expanded westward over Mexican territory starting in 1825. The British Empire made very little investment in the world, only in very sparsely populated and white lands (Australia, Canada, New Zealand and thirteen Colonies), and it was very late (XIX century). So Asia and Africa never spoke English. India only has 200,000 native English speakers (a country of 1.4 billion people). India had banned English from 1960. The fate of English in Asia and Africa was the same as French in Vietnam, Portuguese in India, and Dutch in Indonesia: almost disappearing. But the influence of the United States in the world (political, commercial, cultural and military) from 1945, has reintroduced English in the world. In my country, English began to be studied in schools in 1980, and so in most countries. The British Empire did leave many foundations for the growth of English, as a reintroduced language, as long as the United States is the first world power. But we speak English here in Internet, because of Georges Washington, the Spanish army, Spielberg's movies, Michael Jackson's songs, and TH-cam :) The British Empire could never defeat Spain in North America, so it would have left only a legacy for 250 million speakers of English in the world, like France. The Spanish empire, which was much longer and invested 70% of the gold and silver in Westernizing the world and 30% for dominating Europe to save Catholicism, today has a legacy of 512 million people with Spanish as their own language (and another 80 million as a learned language), and 800 million Catholics (150 million in Europe and 100 million in Asia), without help from the United States. Spanish is the second language in the world with the most mother-speakers, the most widely spoken language in the West and the language most studied in the United States, also studied and spoken in Europe by 80 million people. Furthermore, Spanish and Portuguese are 90% the same, we can understand each other without a translator. 750 million people have an Iberian language, mother tongue, and can be understood, and with the Italians almost no translation.
@British Pride He can't. His comments mimic the cries of a sputtering defeated foe.
Shut up i don’t care what you think about a country you don’t even come from
@@carterjones8126 Enemy defeated? By whom? By the United Kingdom?
I think that in the list of battles won by Spain it is clear who defeated whom. I could also talk about the legacy of Spain, the culture or the contributions to civilization made by Spain, much more important than the British. Things you can't imagine :)

my dear friend,all will be well.
When I listen to shanties, it makes me wish that the current world would reset to the 18th century.
Overly romanticized bullshit. Your chances of making it to 18 were low. if you made it, you'd most likely either die of some disease shortly after or live an extremely poor and miserable life, in a country plagued by war.
@@kaiserkong6587 every word you just said is true
This era was 16 to 18 century

Composer Ralph Vaughan Williams collected 'Spanish Ladies' from a Mr Donger, sailor and sail-maker of King's Lynn, in January 1905. He arranged it for voice and piano in 1912.

Im Spaniard and my grandmothers family surname is Osborne(a derivation of Osbourne) and the people of her Village(Jerez) is peculiar: there are tall and of inusual grey,green and blue eyes,my grandma also wear sometimes a pretty and old bracelet with old brit golden coins..during Napoleonic wars i suspect Brits redcoats spent some good time with Spanish Ladies.
Thank you for your support against French Napoleonic Invaders!
By the way,you can enjoy Gibraltar as much as you wish,better this that speak french..
@Kobe’s Pilot i understand now why i enjoy drinking tea so much more than the average peasant! 😜
And for sure my ancestor was a naval officer because one of the objects we inheritage was a beautiful old naval saber named "Cutlass" ,an expert appraised it and after cleaning and restoration you can read in elegant cursive engraving: HMS Bellerophon and Sa wich Lord Nav Majest(y)? (eroded letters )
I always imagine the reference as being to the ladies of Corunna (English name) from the times when it was a key port in the noble defence of Spain from French invasion. A proud time to be British.
@@sarahhhh775 "Corunna" is the fonétical transcription for "La Coruña" (Ñ is characteristical of Spanish and funny unpronounciable for british people).
There was a great battle there,a British Sniper kills a french general with a long distance,record-breaking shoot.
My grand living there almost her entire life,she show me years ago an old jewel box with proofs that we are british descendants: some old british coins and jewels, and love letters dated 1814 between a young Royal Navy officer (surname Osbourne) and a London girl surname Watson,both of them bloodline related to me and my Cadiz (Andalucia) branch of family..

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash, the discipine was horrific and a Captain once confirmed by Admiralty orders was bound only by his conscience as to his conduct on his ship.
A court martial took three Captains of post rank or higher to be held and the chances of that were slim when lieutenants had command of brigs and smaller craft as a captain normally only commanded a rated vessel.
You could be flogged to death without reprieve, injured by block and tackle. ruptured hauling on sails let alone losing a limb or an eye in gunnery exercises if a cannon ran amok and that is before the desparate close quarters of a ship to ship action which were fought at pistol range.

As long as it's for no longer than 4 hours
I hadn't realized quite how completely I'd absorbed the language from my readings of the Aubrey-Maturin novels until I found that I understood every bit of the lyrics here.
Extremely impressive, I can get most of it but shank painter??
Handsomely now!
Captain Quint in Jaws movie also loved this song
We're gonna need a bigger comment section...

I heard this at my visit to the cutty sark

Well at least I can say one thing, the fucking limeys got all the good shanties. From your American cousins with love.
By far the best version, along with John Tamms’ - which I can’t find on TH-cam.

This brings back some memories except we used to substitute "good Yankee sailors" and "Boston" and "Soundings in Boston harbor". By the time we got to "From New York to Boston it's 35 leagues" we were all chuckling (inside joke, USS Constitution, War of 1812, heroism, unrecognized, not forgotten)
lol why
@@HappyGamer-br1ls because it was fun. It made us a crew. Us against the elements, brave sea dogs like the men with Captain Hull. It gave us morale, but it gave us rythm and kept us from worry.
In a way, it was the individual over the royal system with it's lords and commoners and how they sneered at innovation. A whole squadron couldn't catch Yankee seaman. Might did not always make right. The right Captain with a well trained crew and a well- built state of the art vessel. It was glorious.
@@rjonboy7608 Pretty cool, how old are ya now? if you don't mind me asking
I'm 53. I've led quite an interesting life.
Is your war of 1812 a big historical event in the US?
👍

Songs like this were sung when white people still had pride
Like this one th-cam.com/video/oG8Kv_Mie30/w-d-xo.html
I want my empire back 😢
You must be living in a different world than me.
The white people are still the same just the media and politicians pretend we are self hating losers like they are
Get a life. If all you've got is the color of your skin, that's pretty pathetic.
Most of us are mutts and we are all descended from Africa. Skin color is a poor way to define ourselves. It is our choices that determine who we are far more than what we're born with.
Oh to go back to a time when I could sit in a pub and hear this being sung rather than listening to it via TH-cam on my phone.
Finally a version without women singing. Why would anyone want to hear women in a sea shanty is beyond me. Especially in this one.
Erm 1 in four kids died before the age of 5. Women were property and a cut on your finger could be fatal. No thanks.
Better days.
The Spanish had a good time with the British ladies. Remember that Felipe II slept with María Tudor on London. He was King of England and Ireland. Surely he had some English mistresses. There were even delegations of English who were going to kiss the hand of the Spanish king of England, not only in England, but also in Holland. We do not know why Felipe saved life of Elisabeth, who was Mary Tudor's maid. Philip II ordered the death of 200 English Protestant leaders. Interestingly, Elisabeth survived.
Any favors in bed? She was the prototype of English beauty ... It must have been some miracle. Spain also made inroads into England. Tovar's fleet in 1372 invaded all of southern England, looting and raping more than 15 towns. I'm not proud of that, but it's the story. Then Pero Niño returned to invade some English towns in 1410... Also in the fleets of 1595 and 1597, which landed 400 soldiers each in England. Furthermore, in 1554, when Philip II married Maria Tudor, 4,000 Spanish soldiers and the duke of Alba, and nobles and sailors went to England, spending weeks in the tarverns of London. That could indicate many dark hair and eye traits in England. But surely we have more influence in other countries, in Italy, where we were 457 years. Netherlands 80 years. Belgium and Luxembourg 200 years. Greece 70 years. Portugal 60 years. Parts of France and Germany 162 years. Beethoven was called "Spaniard" for his Spaniard-like physical features. And he looks: he is music. Many songs were made there, during the stay of the Spanish with the local women.
Is that your cope? It's just a song pal.
And rp women is nothing to laugh about either.
Imagine being mad enough to write all this because Brits had families with Spanish women in the napoleonic era 😂
@@BBeowulf And the British have parents from France (the Normans ruled England for over a century). And US soldiers (white, black, Hispanic) had children with British women before the Normandy landings. By one estimate, there are a million British children born in 1945, to parents from Arizona, California, Texas... great black men, while British soldiers were losing the war against the Japanese in Singapore. And the Spaniards were (not 6 years, like the British hiding in Portugal) but 450 years in Italy, 200 years in Belgium, 70 years in Greece, 160 years in parts of Germany and France, 60 years in Portugal... In addition of the Spaniards who landed in England in 1377, 1380-81, 1411, 1554, 1595, 1597, 1603, 1718. Thousands of Spanish soldiers having children with Scottish, English, Northern Irish women... 😛✌
