I vividly remember hearing this (live?) on U.S. television and being completely blown away by it. I was just telling my brother about it last night and decided to search for it one more time. Thank you so much!
I am an American with lots of Aussie friends. Aussies are awesome people - great at the arts, sports, hard-working, and go-getters. They are also very loyal and know what true friendship and being a 'mate' really is. We have a lot to learn from Aussies.
@kuboman Superb kuboman. Are you an older person? I am, 60. You just described most Americans, too, only back in the 1950s and early 1960s. The biggest sin way too many Americans had back then was racism. In fact, come to think of it, there was a bit of rekindling of that hard-working spirit in the USA starting in 1983 for quite a few years. But I cannot wait to visit the LDU after I retire. "LDU?" ...... = Land Down Under!!
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Beautiful version of the classic Aussie folk tale. It is about a the Austrailian equivalent of a "rugged individualist" who captures a wild sheep and when confronted by a "Squatter", means the same thing in the States, who lays claim to the wild sheep which is no more valid than the land he is squatting on, the Swagman jumps into the "slew" or river backwater, rather than be hung for stealing by the local powers that be. This is an American story, except it is Austrailian. G'day AUSSIES!
This is a great Australian song. In fact, for many years we have tried to make 'Waltzing Matilda' our national anthem. Its actually about a man who steals a sheep and then kills himself when law enforcement try to arrest him. Yes, it's a bit random, but our nation originated as the island of convicts - I guess we love it so much because, even though thats how our country began, we have come so far today. It's more of a reflection... All Aussies hold this song close to our hearts :)
Thomas Bulch arranged James Barrs effort for brass band in 1893 with the alternate spelling, Craigielee. There is also speculation about the relationship it bears to The Bold Fusilier, a song dated, in some sources, back to the eighteenth century.
The song came into being as part of the after-dinner musical entertainment at Dagworth. Based on musical and documentary evidence, the tune which Christina Macpherson heard played by the band at the Warrnambool steeplechase was almost certainly the Scottish song Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielea. Robert Tannahill wrote the words in 1805 and in 1818 James Barr set them to music that, in turn, was possibly based on the old melody of Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself .
These are songs about a crime or cruel encounters trafitionally sung by those wo were "auf der Walz" (Waltzing")
In Germany it is still a costum for some craftsmen when they end their apprenticeship to go on the waltz ie travelling around and do jobs only for food and bed.
They even usually use names of their girlfriends for their bags.
OK, for all you non-Aussies, what is a swagman? A jumbuck? A billabong? How many of you knew the answers: Swagman = hobo or tramp. Jumbuck = sheep. Billabong = small pool or pond. of course, I may be wrong about the jumbuck. I know it is an animal, good for eating.
Jumbuck= a large difficult to shear sheep, not a tame sheep (Implies that the sheep was not "owned" by the squatter or regularly shorn, thus not able to be stolen by the swagman
Swagman is not exactly a hobo or tramp..it is a man who travelled looking for work..a tramp does not look for work necessarilly (swag= bed roll that bundled his belongings)
~S~ to texNoz & Austraila. Austrailians fought alongside Americans in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm American and I love my country, Americans died for Austraila in WWII, no questions asked, and will fight for Austraila again if need be. Listening to some of you people is sad at best.
I think all you haters are messed up.. I'm American AND Australian and I love BOTH of my countries and would die for either no questions asked. Listening to you people is sad at best.
I LOVE this version of this song and wanted a copy but it's not available. :( Hands down the best of the best. Anyone know where I can get a real copy of them singing this?
It ia lovely rendition of a rather unique song, symbolic of a rather unique people. Long live Australia and all that word implies in terms of its history and culture.
1995 Open. Agassi v. Sampras. My brother were watching this thing and went silent when they started singing. Couldn't explain this to anyone. Thanks to youtube and the person who posted this, friends now know what we were talking about. Amazing performance and setting.
I remember watching the final and Ms. Arena's rendition and being struck by her singing and the uniqueness of this charming folk song that somehow seems to sum of much of the Australian character.
australia is a great country and better than america in my veiw than america deal with it people are entitled to there opinion but you are are just unreasnoble
hmmmmm dont you think if i am australian i would have a better idea of my countries culture and laws than an american....
and what laws exactly do you forsee australia passing? hmmmm... a little bit pretentious to predict the future, and claim that a country will "rot to its core" in "2-3 years"
@suecilla I am an American, and you may be right about Australia. I hope to visit it for a couple of weeks some time in the next 5 years or so. And America has definitely gone downhill since I was born in 1951, when I would argue IT was best nation in the world. But USA is definitely not the worst country in the world, what with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela around, nations that have very little freedom. Why did you say that?
Yes it should - but too morons voted for Advance australia fair which is a pompous mediocre dirge. Aussies overseas sing Waltzing Matilda when they are homesick.
All English-speaking countries have truly awefull anthems if it's any consolation. It seems there was some rule that said they all had to sound like Anglican Hymns.
the RRR's in her singing comes natural to her and any aussie knows this. shes been doin it ever since she started. i love this performance! im so proud to be aussie!
what american accent? fair dinkum. its tina arena and her voice and accent hasn't changed since she was a kid on YTT. Anyone atacking her singing this probably can't sing themselves.
Just reading through the comments, can't believe people don't mind her thick American accent even though she's an Australian singing an Australian song!!! :-S I don't mind American accents, but they don't pretend to be Australian when they sing their national songs!!
Point taken..I am fascinated by national accents and have always wondered what people of other nations thought of an American accent. Most Americans enjoy a foreign accent, especially British and Australian. They like a French accent, but just won't admit it.
I like some American accents and not others. There's so many different ones! :o) My point with this is that it's an Australian anthem sung by an Australian singer ... with an American accent. It's a bit sad really. If you type "Waltzing Matilda" into YouTube and watch the second video - the one with the Australian Wallaby Rugby team you'll hear it with a real Aussie accent. It's the adopted anthem of the national rugby team. Stirring stuff for me to listen to as an Aussie abroad. :-)
I would not want America the Beautiful sung in a foreign accent so I understand. I live in the midwest of the Us and our accent is used by all the announcers, news, sports ect.
I have never met an Aussie that was not overly friendly and smiling, great envoys for your country, I have visited Europe many times as well as the far east, I would say it's about time I visited Australia. My goal is to take in a game of Australian rules football, a superb game.
Well I'm a rugby player/fan (Waltzing Matilda is the rugby anthem), but you're right, AFL is good. I am planning to come to Colorado and Boston to meet some American mates I met in Ireland. Can't wait to see your country too. And you guys are always welcome in Australia too. As for the accents, I wouldn't mind it sung with a yank accent if she was actually American. But she is Australian, singing this beautiful Aussie anthem with a feigned American accent. I find that a bit sad.
Jolly is jolly like santa claus. a swagman is a camper. A billy is a camping teapot. A jumbuck is a baby sheep. A squatter is a policeman. A Billabong is a small pond in the bush. A Swaggy is short for swagman. Tucker is dinner or lunch. So a tuckerbag is a bag where you keep it. :)
Sorry - mistake. A squatter is the guy who legally owned the land (and the jumbuck). It's a story about the "original" white Australians rebelling against the English colonial rule (the troopers and sqatter). Original in inverted commas for obvious reasons.
Been waiting 10 years for this ... and worth every bit of it. Thank you for posting. Ms. Arena does equal justice to the beauty found in Banjo's words. Long live the individual spirit in us all. May it flourish, connected.
I agree completely with you, "Gravity." I knew I had heard a version of this wonderful song sung by a pretty young Australian -- Tina Arena is Australian, isn't she? -- at some point in my past, and I am now sure that this was it. Literally brought tears to my eyes, even tho' I am not Australian and have never been there. Song is just a great ballad!!
This is a GREAT version for this song, the harmonies are killer! But I have to say, Personally, I liked the John Williamson acoustic show version just slightly better, but that clip has been mysteriously yanked from youtube... hmmm...
I remember watching this over and over on my vcr and I fell in love with Tina Arena. I've ordered several of her cd's online and they are all excellent. She has a great voice.
It was the entertainment preceeding the men's final between Andre Aggasi and Pete Samprass at the 1995 Australian Open. Aggasi went on to win that year.
