9. I Will Walk With My Love.. Arranged by Gerald Moore. Traditional
" I once lov'd a boy and a bold Irish boy
Who would come and would go at my request,
And this bold Irish boy who was my pride and my joy,
And I built him a bow'r in my breast."
"But this girl who has taken my bonny,bonny boy,
Let her make of him all that she can,
And whether he loves me or loves me not,
I will walk with my love now and then."
10. .Blow The Wind Southerly. Arranged by Gerald Moore. Northumbrian Folksong.
"Blow the wind southerly,southerly,southerly,
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue sea;
Blow the wind southerly,southerly,southerly,
Blow bonny breeze, my lover to me.
They told me last night there were ships in the offing,
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea;
But my eye could not see it, wherever might be it,
The barque that is bearing my lover to me.
Blow the wind southerly,southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south that my lover may come;
Blow the wind southerly,southerly,southerly,
Blow bonny breeze and bring him safe home.
I stood by the lighthouse the last time we parted,
Till darkness came down o'er the deep rolling sea!
And no longer I saw the bright barque of my lover,
Blow bonny breeze and bring him to me.
Blow the wind southerly,southerly,southerly,
Blow bonny breeze o'er the bonny blue sea,
Blow the wind southerly,southerly,southerly,
Blow bonny breeze and bring him to me.
Is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing,
As lightly it comes o'er the deep rolling sea?
But sweeter and dearer by far 'tis when bringing
The barque of my lover in safety to me.
Blow bonny breeze and bring him to me."
It is worth noting that whenever Gerald Moore, her friend and accompanist to many great singers, for example Elisabeth Schwarzkopf ,Kathleen Ferrier and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, since his retirement in 1967, attended one of Victoria de los Angele's recitals Blow the Wind Southerly was always included as a tribute to him.

No tiene desperdicio, desde la delicadeza en el adorno de Monteverdi a la melancolía y la intensidad en la entonación de los románticos...
