"Santianna", also known as "Santiana", "Santy Anna", "Santayana", "Santiano", "Santy Anno" and other variations, is a sea shanty relating to the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Supposedly, the last whaler to return to New Bedford hauled in to this tune. - Wikipedia P.S. : French version of this song is "Santiano" by Hugh Aufrey. Norvegian version is "Santi Anna" Fair Winds and following Seas :)
Does anyone keep coming back to this song after all these years? I can months and years without hearing it and then I’ll be making a coffee or whatever and it just pops in my head.
It's: The Skipper (as in the helmsman) likes whiskey, the Maid likes rum, the Crow( the guy up top in the crows nest) likes both but we cant get none...Just saying....great shanty enjoy maties!
+theodosis kantas skipper just means Captain - who would often be at the helm, admittedly, but probably not the hemsman himself, they would just get one of the more experienced sailors to man the wheel.
I am not generally an anime fan either, but I think these are brilliant. Choosing familiar characters to illustrate life in the Age of Sail, the American Civil War, World War II and other great periods of history is a very clever idea and I think it makes it come to life for people who might otherwise not give a damn. His costume is always reasonably accurate and his depictions are realistic in the subject matter. It impresses the hell out of me.
Refrain of the french version (I guess it's the original shanty? Correct me, if I'm wrong!^^) Tiens bon la vague et tiens bon le vent, Hisse et ho, Santiano! Si Dieu veut toujours droit devant, Nous irons jusqu'à San Francisco.
Well done! Bravo! I used to sing this shanty to my children when they were babies, putting them to bed. I miss those times as much as this lost America! Thank you!
I came back after years, I still love these, it's unique, well practiced, and as an adult I love the songs. If the Creator ever hates on their art don't, I feel this is a classic and fond memory. And truly the lines are clean, shading is good even if your pencils may not of been very good you had worked hard. I hope you are blessed.
Heard this for the first time tonight at Sea Shantie night at the Griswold Inn in Essex, CT. Fantastic tune. Our boys sing it with a might, "sail awaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Santiaaaanoooooo!!" Cheers!
Listening to this on my boat anchored on the river weaver in the middle of a storm and just makes me wanna sail the coasts of Mexico and the Carribbean again, good times.
Indeed, this is a fine selection of images along with the best version of Santy Anno I have yet heard. Your artwork is brilliant - keep up the fantastic work. ^_^
If you listen to enough versions, "Santy Anna", "Stormalong," "General Taylor", "Cape Cod Girls", and "South Australia" all blend together! They are combined and recombined so much, that it becomes impossible (pointless) to distinguish! :) -- one big schmear :)
I just love this kind of jolly music, makes my jolly belly go jolly. Anonye who can tip me with music similar to this? I really need a playlist of music like this, then i can die in peace
Lyrics: Santy Anno gained the day Away Santy Anno Oh! Santy Anno gained the day Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Nassau girls ain’t got no comb Away Santy Anno They combs their hair with a kipper backbone Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Them yaller skin girls I do adore Away Santy Anno With their shinin' eyes and their cold black hair Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Why do them yaller girls love me so Away Santy Anno Because I don't tell them all I know Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico When I was a young man in my prime Away Santy Anno I’d knock those scouse girls two at a time Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Skipper likes whiskey, the maid likes rum Away Santy Anno The crew likes both, but we can't get non Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Times is hard and the wages low Away Santy Anno It's time for us to roll and go Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Santy Anno gained the day Away Santy Anno Oh! Santy Anno gained the day Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico Away Santy Anno Mexico is a place I know Along the plains of Mexico (I couldn’t really hear what the first sentence in the second verse was so I did my best I wrote what I could hear. Y’all more than welcome to let me know if they sing something else, wether it’s on this part I’ve mentioned or some other part of the text)
Nassau girls ain't got no comb is what I heard on first. Yaller= Yellow when I was young and in my prime Away santy ano I'd knock those Scouse girls two at a time Along the plains of Mexico As the beach boys would sing abt different girls in "I wish they all could be california girls" or the Beatles sing of different girls in "Back in the U.S.S.R" so this shanty also has the singer singing about different girls around the world. As I see it. Or rather, the beach boys and the beatles took it from them, whatever.
I must admit, I wouldn't have thought of combining anime and sea chanteys, but I really like what you've done. I am a young guy that laments how my generation rarely appreciates such music, but you are doing a great job... Perhaps you have heard of Stan Rogers and his song "Barret's Privateers?" I bet you could have some fun with that one, though I won't try to tell you what to do with your art. Thanks again.
no - it's from almost 100 years before that, in the 1840s. It's was originally a British song (although the same tune is used for similar songs in French and other languages). This was during the US/Mexican War, and because the British were still sort of bitter about not gaining much from the war of 1812 (in which they fought the US) their sailors sang praising Mexican general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (a.k.a. "Santy Anno")
I’ve been listening to this on a sea shanties playlist and only now after listening to is for the past week do I finally look at the videos playing and I just see fucken naruto I mean I just can’t 😂
General Santy Anna was the guy who attacked the Alamo (Texas was part of Mexico at the time, and was rebelling) -- he was president of mexico numerous times -- and was the major Mexican general in the Mexican-American War. The sea chantey refers to that war; songs sometimes acted as newspapers. Later Santy Anna sold much of what is now Arizona and New Mexico to the USA. Check him out on wikipedia.
Another idea: First I was thinking the solo verses of this version were based heavily on A.L. Lloyd's recorded version. Now I'm thinking that this one ultimately derives from a variation of "Santy Anna" called "Round the Bay of Mexico." A field recording of singers in the Bahamas (explaining the "Nassau" reference!) in 1935 was undoubtably the source for Folkie McFolk groups like the Kingston Trio that did renditions in the 1950s-60. I'f bet that they popularized the verses among the folkies
relating to the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Supposedly, the last whaler to return to New Bedford hauled in to this tune. The shanty is popularly supposed to have been started by British seamen who jumped ship to serve with Antonio López de Santa Anna in the Mexican-American War.
@VaggnerVanLange The group is called "Victory at Sea". The album is called "Victory Sings at Sea" and you can find it at "Victory Music" using google search.
@nextjetset It's right there in the credits scroll. "Jamestown Homeward Bound" performed by Forebitter. There's another video by this same person that has that song as its base.
The song is in reference to Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, mexican president who make letters of marque to foreign ships for her service in Mexican Navy in early 19th Century.
@TheOneTrueKit actually the original version is about the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna, and believed to have been started by British seamen who jumped ship to join the Mexicans in the war.

This is like listening to Chopin while watching Britney Spears

This is why you look at the thumb before you click. I've watched most of these, but to be honest, I came for the music, the art is secondary...
I like Chopin's music, I like Britney Spears' looks.

Lyrics:
Santy Anno gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Oh! Santy Anno gained the day
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Nassau girls ain’t got no comb
Away Santy Anno
They combs their hair with a kipper backbone
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Them yaller skin girls I do adore
Away Santy Anno
With their shinin' eyes and their cold black hair
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Why do them yaller girls love me so Away Santy Anno Because I don't tell them all I know Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
When I was a young man in my prime
Away Santy Anno
I’d knock those scouse girls two at a time
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Skipper likes whiskey, the maid likes rum
Away Santy Anno
The crew likes both, but we can't get non
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Times is hard and the wages low
Away Santy Anno
It's time for us to roll and go
Along the plains of Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
Santy Anno gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Oh! Santy Anno gained the day

Antonio López de Santa Anna is the general who fought against the Texans in their war for independence. That is the person to whom they are referring.
