NAU GOJATAS : NINE MAIDENS
In Castelnau (the Occitan word for Newcastle) they sing this "canon de nau". It's an old rhythmic and poetic form
composed with nine verses, describing nine items, disappearing one by one after each chorus. The number four
never appears in this count down, for both superstitious and prosodic reasons. These nine girls desperately hope the
boys will join them for a dance, but their suitors never show up. Some ethnomusicologists saw in this very recent
lyrics (although written on an old "rondeau gascon" tune) an evocation of homosexuality. They haven't been
contradicted, so far.
