Molly Malone

Un article de Freepedia.

Molly Malone ou Cockles and Mussels (les bucardes et les moules) est l'hymne officieux de la ville de Dublin. C'est le chant "officiel" des supporters de l'équipe de rugby de la république d'Irlande. L'héroïne de la chanson est apocryphe.

   In Dublin's fair city,
   where the girls are so pretty,
   I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
   As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
   Through streets broad and narrow,
   Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!"

   "Alive-a-live-oh,
   Alive-a-live-oh",
   Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh".

   Now she was a fishmonger,
   And sure 'twas no wonder,
   For so were her mother and father before,
   And they each wheeled their barrow,
   Through streets broad and narrow,
   Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!"

   (chorus)

   She died of a fever,
   And no one could save her,
   And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
   Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
   Through streets broad and narrow,
   Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!"

   (chorus)
