Die Kombination mit dem Heimat Clip verleiht diesem schönen Lied noch mehr Wert

This famous old folksong is not a military song. In former days young man, who wanted to learn a profession had to leave their home city and have to "walk" during one year and to work in other villages and cities. The song tells about a young man, who has to leave and is homesick already. He says goodby to his girl and promises to come back ... The young man in the movie comes home from war, that is right. But the promise to come back is fullfilled.

It's also a capstan shanty, and a good one. It was the classic leaving port shanty on German merchant ships such as the magnificent Flying P barques, and is still the march past of the German Navy.

I think you mean a Focsle chanty, which was a leisure song. A capstan chanty , is a work chanty, and this has the constant flow of a leisurely Focsle chanty. Work chanty's were slow and rhythmic( and for good reason), with a definitive beat, for the 3 different types. They are divided between long and short haul chanty's, for hauling on the sail lines. And the capstan chanty, was for weighing/dropping anchor. Go you down you blood red roses , and John Kanaknaka are example of Work(hauling chantys). Blow the man down, is a focsle chanty. Here is a YT link for Randy dandy, a capstan chanty. note it's pronounced periods, for work and rest(verse, and chorus) longer chorus, faster longer work, shorter rest than a halyard chanty. Slower paced but longer work , that lends to singing longer. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXyfrbBpk7G7kbg.html

Not at all; capstan shanties often had a similar rhythm to a marching song - cf the other Shenandoah, 'The bonnie green flag, the harp without a crown,' or the classic British leaving port capstan shanty, Rio Grande, which could be used for the initial stages of weighing anchor, or, if there was no tug, for warping out - just as Muss i' denn was used aboard the Flying P barques and others. Later in the weighing process, breaking out the anchor, the other sort of shanty - the better known Shenandoah is a prime example - could be used for a concerted heave at the capstan bars. By the way - as to 'dropping' anchor - no shanty was needed, once the anchor was over the side, just one man was needed, and he was on the windlass brake. I'll just quote one Channel and Thames Estuary pilot. 'If you tell the chief officer to drop anchor on a Greek ship, that's what he'll do - straight down and on the seabed with twenty fathoms of cable on top of it.'

One of the best movies of the past 50 years. The Director complained (to me personally, in Venice) that the German critics did not consider his movie a great achievement. Well, they are wrong. Reitz and Angelopoulos are absolutely the very best, hands down. This particular sequence is a prodigy of understatement and hypersensibility. A return like any other. Not a word is uttered. Muss ich gehen says everything. The power of ethnic ethos in every second of the footage. Impossible to watch it without tears. Fact is there are chapters I never wanted to see twice. Too much emotion. Shared with all my friends at the Valladolid Film Festival. We all hid from each other after the projection. We did not want to show that we were sobbing like children.

I could listen to this song with great joy to almost every style . I like when he stops and smiles at the large pig who is warning the little kids to stay away from the water !

With everyone's permission,I would like to express my share of feelings with this song.This TV series is 'Heimat',not too old one but just from 38 yrs back and usually colourised.This portion which depicted the ww1 era is shown in black-and-white and this is just perfect. Secondly,this part is so unique in its own way.Look here! a guy was returing home after the war is over(or he had been sent back?)and he was alive and uninjured.He walked with a happy and swift steps to reach his home but at the same time his curious and innocent eyes were looking around,looking his village -very known to him yet so unknown as he came back after such a long separation. He stopped to get himself fascinated to the mere sqabble between a pig and the kid duos,which wass a day to day happening in the rural area.He then came across some of his neighbours and finally he reached his home.Looking through the window and watching his father working in his workshop filled his heart with overwhelming joy and his colourless life so long immediately turned into a naturally colourful one, as he was home now.His father was not seemingly overwhelmed ,nor did he jumped out of his workshop leaving all his works behind but instead on his instruction the boy simply lifted a hammer and joined him.After working together for sometime,he got involved in a chat with his father,as his mom came out .He immediately rushed to her (must be told by his papa about her )and after being welcome by mom he felt his urge to pee and went away.Then his parents looked at each other and smiled- a smile of relief. I don't know if it would be more appropriate to show his parents rush out to welcome their son and start celebrating his homecoming,but to me this subtle and reserved expression has carried a lot of emotions,enouhgh to moisten my eyes.His papa is the most happy person (another being his mama)seeing his son back alive but what he did out of his happiness?He immediately took his son in as his helper as he used to do so far and the papa-son duo got themselves involved in their daily works as they used to do before the son was sent to war.The war could not interfere with their normal chore of day to day living as if they started from that very point where they left their work perhaps 2-3 years ago and as if nothing happened in between. He naturally felt urge as he had to walk a long way and perhaps drank quite a lot of water as he was thirsty.The parents then smile at each other,silently talking to one another "Look,our son is back,he is alive.Now he is again the part of our family,our lives are normal again.We can smile again".

Le più famose canzoni militari non parlano di guerra per questo motivo passano i confini e tutti le cantano ricordiamo Lili Marlen cantata da tutti gli eserciti in guerra tra loro durante la seconda guerra mondiale...Tutte le sere sotto quel fanal presso la caserma ti stavo ad aspettar...già la storia di due innamorati. Spero in fondo al mio cuore che gli eserciti possono servire solo a fare delle belle sfilate militari e che gli uomini possano trovare solo con la parola la soluzione a tutti i problemi.

Why d'you cry, do you cry my darling for me having to leave. As if our love ends here. Even though there's plenty of girls out there, plenty of girls, I'll be faithful. Do you think as soons as I see another one that our love will immediately end? Even though there's plenty of girls out there, plenty of girls, I'll be faithful. Over the year (after the year) when the wine harvest is brought in I will join again with you. And if I am, if I am still your darling then our wedding shall be. Over the year (after the year) when my time is done I belong to you and me. And if I am, if I am still your darling then our wedding shall be.

The clip is from the first season of the epic series "Heimat" by Edgar Reitz - see linK below: www.imdb.com/title/tt0087400/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 A chronic of the small village of "Schabbach" in Rhineland-Palatine. A portrait of it's residents and their struggle with world events from 1919 to 1982, influencing their lives (war, economic crisis, political changes, technological developments). Fictional but touching authentic liKe a documentary. The actors are almost all non-professionals from the region speaKing solely the loKal dialect. So also german watchers from other regions have to depend on subtitles (similar to "The Wire"). Unfortuneately there are only few memorable all-time-classic German TV-Series but in my opinion "Heimat" is one of the Top 5 (Others are "Tadellöser & Wolff" or "Berlin Alexanderplatz").

Is this clip from a movie or is it just an exceptionally well thought out and presented music video? I really like this. Thanks for posting.
