Comptines

 ~


La la la la la la la... tada... Quelles chansons aimiez-vous chanter quand vous étiez petit ?! Et aimez-vous les comptines de Mother Goose ("ma Mère l'Oye") ?! Nous avons tous croisé un jour les fameux vers entraînants de "Baa baa black sheep", "Humpty Dumpty", "Hey Diddle Diddle", etc etc. Franchement, que pensez-vous de ces comptines ?! Quand j'étais petite (oups... ça fait un bail >_<...) je me demandais parfois pourquoi il y avait des comptines aussi bizarres et horribles... Vous savez, comme ces vers par exemple : "When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, Down will come baby, cradle, and all" (si la branche casse, le berceau tombera, et en bas iront, le bébé, le berceau, et tout ça) <Rock-a-bye Baby>; "And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed" (et les mit au lit après une bonne raclée.) <There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe> ?!... J'en ai déduit que certaines comptines n'avaient pas été écrites pour les enfants; ou du moins, le but de ces terribles textes était de faire peur ou de garder trace d'un événement tragique.

Les origines et raisons d'existence des comptines sont une question assez épineuse. Dans la plupart des cas, elles ont commencé à être publiées entre les 18e et 19e siècles. Or on trouve des comptines qui datent du temps où Rome gouvernait l'Angleterre et ont survécu inchangées. Les comptines étaient à l'origine destinées aux adultes, des fables qui portaient en elles un second sens au-delà de leur côté burlesque.

 

 

Dans "Comte Cain", quelques comptines sont reprises. J'aimerais les inventorier ici - dans certaines pages j'ai même ajouté leur musique ! Si ces comptines vous intéressent, cliquez sur leur titre pour les lire. Et seriez-vous prêt aussi à chanter une de ces comptine ?!

Who Killed Cock Robin

(suivi à 95%) Who killed Cock Robin (version 2)
Among the 3 rhymes applied in Cain series, this rhyme is highly applied in the story "Who Killed Cock Robin" ! You see, even the story's name is the same as the rhyme's!! This rhyme is about poor Cock Robin was killed and so, the animals asked who killed Cock Robin and a serious of questions and answers are raised and replied in similar manners.
In "Earl Cain" vol. 2 <Who Killed Cock Robin" , the story started with a mysterious death of a little girl (Cock Robin). This adorable girl's playmates were killed like the way described from the rhyme "Who Killed Cock Robin". It seems that the murderer killed according to the rhyme. Is it the Black Angel who killed those innocent children or.. someone had to do that to hid his forbiddened, immoral love?! At the end of the story, the murderer himself was killed as well. But, who killed him? "I", someone smiled and said !

 

Royal Economy

(suivi à 20%)
The rhyme is about good King Arthur has done something foolish that he baked a pudding and at last, his queen was fried next morning. This rhyme is not highly applied in "Earl Cain" vol. 2 <Miss Pudding Tragedy>. Only the tasty dessert , black plums pudding was used as the key of the tragedy?!
For the story summary, I later will write it here, please wait for a while, heeee...

 

Humpty Dumpty

(suivi à 3%)
Oops... I guess "Humpty Dumpty" is the most well-known rhyme among children?! Do you like this song? As we all know, Humpty Dumpty is about poor Mr. Egg who had a great fall .. >_<.. and no one can ever paste his broken shell back >_<... This rhyme inspired the story of "The Sound of the Youth Birth"
"The Sound of the Youth Birth" tells you the background of Cain. Why Cain's father hates him so much and how Cain's loyal butler, Lief meets Cain. I think readers should read this story first as it helps us learn more about Cain. This story is listed in vol. 2.

 

The 13 o'clock Fairy Tale

N'apparaît dans aucune histoire de Comte Cain, mais est cité à la fin de "Comte Cain". Assez sympa je trouve, jetez-y un oeil... heee.

 

Sunday's Solomon Grundy

(suivi à 95%)
"Sunday's Solomon Grundy" is a new story after the long disappearance of "Earl Cain" comic. Yes! Ms. Kaori Yuki is back to Cain's works again! This story is published in "Hana to Yume" (Flowers & Dreams). It will soon be recorded in vol. 6 of Earl Cain comic. The story is about a widow who told a story to Cain in a carriage: The widow tells Cain the story of her husband, who was born and dead in 6 days - just like the character in the nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy". What happened on the husband is exactly the same as "Solmon Grundy": Born on Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, . . . . . . and buried on Sunday. Lire l'histoire maintenant.

 

There Was A Crooked Man

(suivi à 10%)
This rhyme is introduced at the very begining of the story 'The Little Crooked House' (this title is in fact a line of this rhyme). I think it's not highly realted to the rhyme, but the "twisted" ideas are applied to the girl character - Rebecca. Rebecca is a poor beautiful young lame, who lives in a house with lots of so-alive dolls! Rebecca's background is a tragedy as her mother left her and even wanted to kill her! By chance, Maryweather (Cain's younger sis) made friends with Rebecca, who at last force her to stay with her in the Little Crooked House for good. What is Cain going to do?! Can he save his treasurable little sister at last?! And, why there are so many 'look alive' dolls in Rebecca's crooked house?! Read the story here (under construction, sorry).

 

Baa Baa Black Sheep

(suivi à 5 %)
'Black Sheep' one of the latest stories from the new series of Earl Cain -"The GOD CHILD Chapter". Only the title of the rhyme is used. Except this, the story is not related to any lines of the rhyme. It is about little Cain and Riff (or Lief). Cain inherited his father as the Earl. He employed Riff as the new butler of The Hargreaves'. On the other hand, a new, beautiful French chambermaid has a crush on Riff. Cain shows the valuable trasures of the Hargeaves to Riff in a secret room. Cain told Riff the secret key to the family's trasures is the Black Sheep. When they were talking, the French chambermaid saw that. She asked Riff met her in the secret room. However, at the end, that French chambermaid is found dead. The only person with the dead body is Riff. Did Riff kill that French chambermaid?! And why? Or, the murder is related to the Black Sheep?! Who is the Black Sheep?! What would Cain do?!

Sing A Song of Sixpence

'Sing a song of Sixpence', another well-known mother goose songs, is applied in the story 'Bloodberry Jam' in GOD CHILD. 'Bloodberry Jam' is a sad story about a 'kind' grandmother who lost her loved grandmother. This granny is good at making pie for her granddaugher who never came back.

Together with 'Sing a song of Sixpence', this rhyme is used in 'Bloodberry Jam' too! The leading character of 'Bloodbery Jam' is called Georgie Bargie who is always being called as 'Georgie Porgie' by her great aunite. This Georgie is going to sell his great auntie's house, can his wicked plan be carried? Will Cain stop him? Lire l'histoire maintenant.

 

The Misfortune of Simple Simon

N'apparaît dans aucune histoire de Comte Cain, mais son dernier vers est utilisé comme dernière phrase à la fin des épisodes de God Child ! Cliquez sur le titre pour lire la comptine !

 

Lizzie Borden

(cette comptine est chantée par Mary, mais l'épisode en lui-même n'a aucun lien avec elle)
Technically speaking, it's not a nursery rhyme, but a jumping rope rhyme, created in 1892 due to the unsolved murder of Lizzie's parents. The rhyme is sung to Cain by Maryweather in Vol. 2 the story of 'The Tragedy of Miss Pudding, which is being cut into pieces and eaten). Cain told Maryweather that he didn't know many nursery rhymes because no one sang nor taught him any when he was a child. And so, Maryweather sung 3 rhymes to Cain and one fo them is "Lizzie Borden".

An Apple Pie

N'apparaît dans aucune histoire de Comte Cain, mais est mentionné par Kaori Yuki dans le commentaire du volume 2 pour l'épisode de la "Tragédie de la Miss Pudding Gourmande". Cliquez sur le titre pour lire la comptine !
