Y wyshe to flye

 

One of Grimbold Backbiter's earlier works from the Frogeater Notapuppet era, the mournful ballad 'Y wyshe to flye' is generally considered to be among his weaker pieces.

 

Y wyshe to flye

 

Y wyshe to flye,

Flye flye flye,

Flye lyek the hummingbyrdse in the skye.

 

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay

 

Y wyshe to synge,

synge synge synge,

synge lyek the troobadyrse of the kinge.

 

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay

 

Y wyshe to flye,

flye lyek the hummingbyrdse.

 

Y wyshe to synge,

synge lyek the troobadyrse.

 

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay

 

Y wyshe it so hard Y could dye.

Y wyshe it so hard Y could dye.

 

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay-eh

Lay lay lay lay

 

Discussion

 

It seems to me that Grimbold tried to incorporate ethnic influences into this piece, with somewhat awkward results. I tried looking for background information on said influences, but can't find any in my source material...
