Pippin and Merry's song

Lord of the Rings Trilogy Forum

You can search far and wide, you can drink the whole town dry,
but you never will find a beer so brown, oh you never will find a beer so brown as the one we drink in old town.
You can kiss your fancy ales, (you can drink them by the flaggen????? ) but the only brew for the brave and true, comes from the Green Dragon.

anyone know that line I'm not sure of?

flagon. And what line??

MF you already answered Billy's question silly!! I think................ shoot now you have me doubting myself...................

Erika

thanks! I think they are so cute especially when they sing but I couldn't quite figure out that line.

hey ho! to the bottle I go, to heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall, and wind may blow, but there still be... many miles to go! sweet is the sound of pouring rain, and the stream that falls from hill to plain. but better then rain, or rippling brook, is a mug of beer inside this Took!

YAY! I've been trying to figure out what they say I'm happy now thank you for posting that now i jsut have to try and find the rest of the script and I'll be happy

the rest of the script for rotk? or extended fellowship?

rotk

ah, I've been looking too, and trying to write it down little by little when it comes to me.

me too and it's not working lol

YAY! I have found people who love Merry and Pippin's singing as much as me! ::jumps up and down like an insane dancing hobbit:: I've been looking for those Green Dragon lyrics for ages! Hey Ho is practically my anthem. You should have seen me and my friends after we saw RotK, we were skipping around outside the theater singing it at the top of our lungs! Oh how the people stared...Twas wonderful! And my favorite song of all time is The Steward of Gondor...ahh, Billy Boyd has such a magnificent voice....

Billy Boyd is a trained singer. He sings tenor and baritone.

and he is magnificent itsn't he? I just got back from my 6th veiwing... very lovely

so he's a trained singer...well that cool...he sings marvelously.

yeah me and my friends went to see rotk opening day(in costumes of course) and the cursed power went out! Not once but 4 times! Then they decided we would have to evacuate the theater for our safety, so me and my friends went outside in the mall and started dancing and singing all the hobbit songs. Then we decided to do that in abercrombie in and scared all the preps. lol we had to wait for the 7:00 showing the first one was at 3- which ment we were there @1 sumthing. So we were at the movies for about 10 hours that day. The best 10 hours of my life :-)

You were in costumes, singing and dancing hobbit songs in Abercrombie? Oh, now that is funny!

Preps can't take that kind of stuff you know

I know this one girl said some not nice things to us ( i won't put it cuz it really wasn't nice-lol) so we just started talking in elvish to her lol

Anybody know the lyrics to the song that Pippin sings at Minis Tirith?

Here ya go!

"Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Could and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade"

Thank you airaeresse!

No prob! Always willing to help when I can!

hmmm...wearing costumes...i wouldn't be caught dead doing that...but thats just me...i always wanted to learn elvish...but english (my native language) hard enough, not to mention having to learn spanish...

Yeah, I'm not to good with languages. I take french, yet I can hardly carry on a simple convo in it. But I love the sound and look of elvish. As some of you might be able to tell, my username is in Quenya. Aira Eresse- Eternal Solitude. I thought it looks so pretty...If only i knew how to pronounce it...lol

i pronounce unfamiliar stuff phonetically..which makes reading star wars interesting lemme tell ya . even phonetically that name sounds pretty.

Why thank you! It's kinda the mottow of my Rangeress roleplay character...she's not too social...

That song is on the soundtrack --- Track 5 --The Steward of Gondaor. And it starts 2 mins and 33 seconds through the track! just so you know!
Me and my friends went to see ROTK in costume and they wouldnt let us in at first (because of the costume...they dont allow it! ) but then i said that this is how we usually dress so they had to let us in! Yay!
The words to the song they sing in Edoras are:
You can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown (never find a beer so brown)
No you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our home town
You can brew your fancy ales
And drink them by the flagon
But if there ever was a brew for the brave and the true
It comes from the Green Dragon!

I love that song! and Hey ho! and Pippin's song in Minas Tirith!

Thanks Peregrin! I'll be buying that CD!!!

My pleasure! It is really good! im listening to Billy's song at the moment. Oh No! it ended!
Rewind!

What I liked about that scene is that they didn't just show Billy (Pip) singing. They also used it as background for what is going on. Very appropriate.

hello,

Hello! Welcome to inreview. Obviously you are a Billy Boyd fan. You'll have fun here.

Aye! Billy fans unite! ::jumps up and down insanely singing Hey ho to the bottle I go:: Sorry, I often get a bit carried away with that song...lol

Woooo! Go Billy (and Pip) fans! *joins airaeresse singing and dancing* yay!

They wouldn't let you in? I would have said that too, but luckily my movie theater let us in in costume, we just got strange looks from people. die preps!

i dont care if i get strange looks from people! i have no reputation to ruin! lol! i agree! die preps! *pulls out sword* *drops it* oops!

I went to see the film for the first time yesterday, so all the die hards had already seen it, so no costumes for me. But there is a medieval fair in my town every summer. People come from all over. You'll find a lot of fantasy and Lord of the Rings nuts there. Me included. I want a Galadriel costume. Or a hobbit costume.

Has anybody got the complete lyrics for Pippin's song in Minas Tirith?

here you go!

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade

i love that song! he has such a wonderful voice!

hee hee! I went to rotk again yesterday (for the 7th time) and my friend and I embarrassed the guy we went with by singing all the songs as we walked out! It was great fun. I wish I had a whole cd with billy singing. That would be heaven. I love all trilogy's cds so much that as soon as I get them I burn them so I won't wear out the origional!

I am going to buy the CD just for that song. I am going to assume that it is really Billy singing. Anyone know for sure?

yes it is. It says so on the cd. and he is was in a band I think... so I'm sure it is him

it is him....he is trained with baritone and tenor i think...

yes and he's terrific... wonderful... I wish I had a whole cd of his singing

thankyou peregrin xx

thats ok! now you just have to give me mushrooms and i will be happy...never can have enough mushrooms....GIVE ME THE MUSHROOMS! *attacks* *gets dragged away by security* noooooo!

Peregr!n magic mushrooms????!!!! hehehehehe *whistles off*

*smiles like Pippin does at beginning of ROTK* any mushrooms *takes out pipe* ahh! i havnt got any pipeweed left! Merry? MERRY!

I loooove Pippen's song, it's sooo nice, and just touches your heart doesn't it? And how it shows flashes of Boromir and them fighting and then that stupid dumass steward just eating like he doesn't give a care in the world, that part always gets me crying. Anyways, I'm getting off topic. But i wanna download that song, my downloading program, 'imEsh' can't find the it, and so does anyone here know how I can get the song without downloading other programs?
Please tell me if you know, and thx!

Oh yeah, I not only want Pippen's song, but Aragorn's too, so please tell me if anyone knows

When does Aragorn sing a song?

while he is getting crowned. It's in Elvish... I don't know the exact lyrics... I'll go check my cd...

I don't know how to do that quote thing yet but akari seni said this in post #53 "And how it shows flashes of Boromir and them fighting and then that stupid dumass steward just eating like he doesn't give a care in the world,"
I think he is sort of haunted about what he just did to his son and his men when Pippin starts singing.... I don't know maybe it's just me... anyone else see any nervousness in his eyes?

Yea your right, he does seem kind of nervous, never noticed that before.....

I don't necessarily think it was regret though... maybe just a feeling that people (like pippin for example) think he is a terrible father... I LOVE the way pip say.. but we have no songs for great halls and .... evil.. times and emphysizes the word evil as he looks at denethor with disgust

okay here's Aragorn's song...
"Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome
Maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn’
Ambar-metta!"

in english...
"out of the great sea to Middle-
earth I am come. In this place will
I abide, and my heirs, unto the
ending of the world."

i really should read the words inside the cd-thing!

ya it helps you to understand if you don't happen to be an elf

mmm, i know a few elves though...they walk in the woods by my hobbit hole somethimes

Thx Billyisthebest!!! Yea, now that I think of it, I think your right, he diiiid seem a bit nervous. Yea so thx 4 the lyrics, and plz, just ooooone more favour you guys, if you don't mind, could you tell me how i can download the song? And Pippen's too, if i could get Pippen's that would be really great, thx again!

By the way, let me know if I can be any help to you guys too

Pippin was nervous because he was realizing how aweful the steward was.

no not Pippin being nervous... Denethor was nervous.

LOL, yeah, but I still think the steward, Denethor is a dumbass Ok, I know this is getting off topic, but let me know if you agree with me. You know that so called Orc, the peach coloured one, I dunno, but don't you guys think that they shouldn't have added him in the movie? Cuz don't you think he sort of takes away the essence of the movie, and make it look kind of Star Trek-ish? I don't know, maybe it's just me...

Oops, my bad, I meant

Star Wars-ish, not Trek

Back on topic or I'll sic the moderators on you. Seriously though, start a new thread on this subject because I would like to discuss it.

Okay, sorry

NO problem! Don't be sorry. I just know that the moderators are really trying to keep everyone on topic.

Okay, thx a lot I'll be making that new thead soon!

I'll be there.

Did anyone see the people's choice awards last night? Billy recived the award for ttt I think it was... I didn't see it but so I've heard

billy, you are inSANE but i still love ya. does anyone talk about anything but lotr or if you do then you get hunt down and shot in the street

Did Billy Boyd accept the award at the People's Choice Awards? I shut it off early and didn't see the movie part. If Billy Boyd was on and I didn't see it, I will never forgive myself!

yes billy boyd did get an award at the peoples choice award...I turned it on late thought I didnt hear what for, just heard him talking is all...sorry, we're getting of topic....

is pippin and merrys song on the soundtrack does anyone know?

nope, but pippin's solo is

Ok, thanks Tomktn!

Pippins solo rules! and it really fits in with the movie...what with Faramir and co. riding to their death 'n all...

so rachel, you finally figured it out eh? hee hee! good job. and I LOVE pip's song. It is so eerily(can't spell) beautiful. Tomktn27 and I got yelled at the other day for singing and dancing the Green Dragon song at a play we're helping out with's practice. hee hee.

Yeah. that was great. LET'S DO IT AGAIN! sigh...

sing with me!
You can search far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry.
But you never will find a beer so brown,
oh you never will find a beer so brown
as the one we drink in Old Town.
You can kiss your fancy ales,
You can drink them by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true
comes from the Green Dragon!

so, when i get the "tolkein reads and sings the hobbit and lord of the rings" sound recording from the stupid LIBRARY that lost my HOLD...i'll share it with ya...somehow.

They should have had some more songs in the film. Since some of the ones that were on there were so catchy. The book is full of songs

I wish they would have left Sam's poem about gandalf in there... that was cute!

they should have left more songs and poems in the movie from the book

They had a few, and that just made you appreciate them even more

but they add such a rich element to everything.... I love all the songs and poems in the books, it was a big part of Middle Earth.

someone might have told you this already, but you have the song wrong
it is
you can DRINK your fancy ales drink them by the flagon
then the rest i think you have right but i am not sure i would double check

no actually it IS kiss. trust me. I've seen it 8 times... and It is deffinitly NOT drink. it is either kiss or keep. I am almost positive it is kiss.

For the "Green Dragon Ale" song, I thought that it went like this:

You can kiss your fancy ales, you can drink them by the flagon but the only brew for the brave and true, comes from the Green Dragon.

Kiss doesnt make sense really... i would say it was keep, if you put it with the lyrics.

You can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you never will find a beer so brown
No you never will find a beer so brown (as the one we drink in our home town)
Well you never will find a beer so brown,
As the one we drink in our home town!
You can keep your fancy ales
You can drink them by the flagon
But the only brew for the brave and the truuuuuuue
comes from the Green Dragon!

Home is behind, the wrld ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and Shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade, all shall fade.

Hey ho! To the bottle I go!
To heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow
And there still be many miles to go!
Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from hill to plain
Better that rain or a rippling brook
IS A MUG OF BEER INSIDE THIS TOOK!!!!!!

We have a pub called the Green Dragon near where I live!

That's Awsome!!!! and I am pretty sure it is kiss... because it's like they are saying that they aren't nearly as good at the green dragon, so they can just kiss their fancy ales because they don't want them

I think they both fit the wording in the right context:

If you think of kiss as you can kiss them goodbye, then it works... But then keep also works, if you think about people offering it to Pip and Merry, they might say, 'Nah, keep them, the only brew for the brave and the truuuuuuue comes from the Green Dragon!'

Nope, not Norfolk!

I wish they would have left the song in FOTREE in the theatrical version, because that one is cute too!

That is the best one! So cool!

hey...

i need to know where i can get the song pippin sang at minas tirith... thanx for the lyrics... i've been searching high and low for it!!!

angelique

If you buy the soundtrack for Return of the King, its on there

Sad arent i?!?!?!

Lol, but thats what so great about you Pip! And hey he does have a nice voice

This rocks! On InReview, i get praise for being sad! Woohoo!
and he does have a nice voice!

he does have a nice voice

MistyRainWater6, thanx for the information... by the way, can u plz tell me what this site is about...? basically, i know that everyone here is LOTR fanatics, like myself, but then, u guys are talking bout things which are really deep, like the words and the lyrics and stuff from the movie.... i actually stumbled upon this site while searching for the lyrics and the song itself... anyway, wats the reward points and the posts thing? also, do u know what's the title of the song? and where are u all from? i mean all... not just mistyrainwater...

Hi angelique, welcome to the forum. Here is a link that will answer most of your questions. If you need any additional information, feel free to PM me.

http://www.inreview.com/showthread....276&forumid=407

thanx so much... u're a LOTR fan too?

okie okie... dun get sarcastic now, shadow stalker... how did u guys find this site? and are all here american?

Hey anGeliQue, did you get the PM I sent you?

We have people from all over the world that visit the site. In LOTR we have many Americans, and people from England, Austrailia and Germany.

Guys, we need to get back on topic here.

oh yeah.... I've seen it 11 times in the cinema and 37 times on DVD.... still can't clearly hear if it is kiss or kick... :S

Haha, I honestly dont know what it is, I dont evern know which one makes more sense!...but hey your not meddling and welcome to Inreview!

Its keep! it makes the most sense!

Yea, I guess keep does make sense...Wish that song was on the ROTK soundtrack

Ok! My friend just brought round her pirate copy of LOTR and i recorded that song onto my computer. I have listened to it about 10 times and the word is keep!

Yea keep does make sense, thanks for letting us know Pip!

My pleasure!

It is repeated twice I'm afraid. airaeresse's version is correct, apart from the typo correction you made.

Do you think that song is meant to be as sombre in the book, or has the tune been adapted as well as the lyrics?

Welcome to INReview, by the way jwoolygirl

Yeah, it is repeated, Me and my friend had this huge argument over it. I said it was repeated, she said it wasn't. We looked up the lyrics and put the movie on subtitles. It's repeated.

It is repeated.

And I just looked at the subtitles for the song in Rohan.....it goes:
You can drink your fancy ales
You can drink them by the flagon.

But, that isnt what they are saying!

Yeah, I saw that too, but I still swear it should be '...keep your fancy ales...'

Hmmm, either I am totally out there but I could have sworn my subtitles said keep I wonder what's up with that?

Could be an American version or something...

I'm not sure but I think someone was wondering about the whole song in the book. Here it is:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still around the corner we may meet
A sudden standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.

Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!

Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run,
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn and nut and sloe
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.

Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.

Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And to bed! And then to bed!

~Pippin

Hey that was great to read again! Thanks for posting it Pippin

flagons are large cups that hold ale. just like the one's their holding while singing the song

I didn't know that. But maybe thats because I've never drank ale before

I knew that! I have slight knowledge! Go me!
