Talk:Santianna

[Untitled]
There is obviously another version of this song as one can see in this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li-AQEfIILU&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.8.82 (talk) 21:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * From the reference to St Malo in the version you cited, this appears to be a Polish translation of Hughues Aufray's French version. Mon Vier (talk) 09:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

there are plenty of songs with similar tunes containing Santianna, Santy Ano etc. (even Suzyanna: Round the bay of Mexico) in the refrain. Some are dealing with the ship sailing from (A) to (B). (e.g. the link from the French version of the Santiano page: http://www.contemplator.com/sea/santyano.html) Is there a reason for 1. considering Mexican-American War version a main one for the title santianna (most known or whatever)? 2. considering this version the source of French text?

What does the "away" express?
"O! Santianna gained the day - Away Santianna!" - when the song glorifies Santianna, it does not make much sense to yell he should go away. So, what does this actually want to express? --KnightMove (talk) 10:07, 4 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I believe this could be saying something similar to "away we go." I personally listen to The Longest Johns version and in the song it references a fast clipper ship, so I believe the song could be referencing sailors saying "Away Santianna!" as an idea of their ship, named after Santianna, leaving port.
