Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none. Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none. Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Hey Ho, nobody home. Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 1 - God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also. And all the little children that round your table grow. The cattle in your stable, the dog by your front door. And all that dwells within your gates We wish you ten times more. Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 2 - Go down into the cellar and see what you can find. If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind. We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber' For we'll come no more a 'soalin'till this time next year. Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 3 - The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin. I have a little pocket to put a penny in. If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do. If you haven't got a ha'penny then God bless you. Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace. This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace, Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une quête joyeuse de nourriture et de générosité, où des chanteurs demandent des offrandes pour célébrer la vie et la convivialité. Malgré le manque de biens matériels, l'esprit de fête et de partage domine, et chaque don, même modeste, est salué avec gratitude. On y retrouve aussi une prière pour bénir ceux qui accueillent ces chanteurs, ainsi que tous les êtres vivant sous leur toit, ce qui reflète une belle simplicité et une profonde connexion à la communauté. Le contexte de cette chanson est lié aux traditions de Noël et au charitabilisme festif, où des groupes se déplacent pour chanter en échange de friandises, renforçant ainsi les liens sociaux et la solidarité au sein des villages. Sous-jacente à cette célébration, il y a une reconnaissance de la création et une invitation à se rassembler dans l'amour et la fraternité.
