The Rocky Road To Dublin - The Dubliners

Aisling.:

今天推的这首歌,看过大侦探福尔摩斯(大腐)的一定不会觉得陌生。

这就是妮妮打斗时那段欢快轻松的小调。

The Dubliners大叔们的声音总是带有一种让人愉悦的幽默,这种小调在他们的演绎下简直不能再可爱。



The Dubliners are an Irish folk band founded in Dublin in 1962. The band started off as The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group, named in honour of its founding member; they subsequently renamed themselves as The Dubliners. The group line-up saw many changes over their fifty-year career.


The Dubliners were instrumental in popularising Irish folk music in Europe, though they did not quite surpass the popularity of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem in the United States. They influenced many generations of Irish bands, and their legacy can to this day be heard in the music of artists such as The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly. Much adored in their native country, covers of Irish ballads by Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly tend to be regarded as definitive versions. One of the most influential Irish acts of the 20th century, they celebrated 50 years together in 2012, making them Ireland's longest surviving musical act.




In the merry month of May,

From my home I started,

Left the girls of Tuam,

Nearly broken hearted,

Saluted father dear,

Kissed my darlin' mother,

Drank a pint of beer,

My grief and tears to smother,

Then off to reap the corn,

And leave where I was born,

I cut a stout blackthorn,

To banish ghost and goblin,

In a brand new pair of brogues,

I rattled o'er the bogs,

And frightened all the dogs,

On the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four five,

Hunt the hare and turn her

Down the rocky road

And all the ways to Dublin,

Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.

In Mullingar that night,

I rested limbs so weary,

Started by daylight,

Next mornin' light and airy,

Took a drop of the pure,

To keep my heart from sinkin',

That's an Irishman's cure,

Whene'er he's on for drinking.

To see the lasses smile,

Laughing all the while,

At my curious style,

'Twould set your heart a-bubblin'.

They ax'd if I was hired,

The wages I required,

Till I was almost tired,

Of the rocky road to Dublin.

In Dublin next arrived,

I thought it such a pity,

To be so soon deprived,

A view of that fine city.

Then I took a stroll,

All among the quality,

My bundle it was stole,

In a neat locality;

Something crossed my mind,

Then I looked behind;

No bundle could I find,

Upon my stick a wobblin'.

Enquirin' for the rogue,

They said my Connacht brogue,

Wasn't much in vogue,

On the rocky road to Dublin.

From there I got away,

My spirits never failin'

Landed on the quay

As the ship was sailin';

Captain at me roared,

Said that no room had he,

When I jumped aboard,

A cabin found for Paddy,

Down among the pigs

I played some funny rigs,

Danced some hearty jigs,

The water round me bubblin',

When off Holyhead,

I wished myself was dead,

Or better far instead,

On the rocky road to Dublin.

The boys of Liverpool,

When we safely landed,

Called myself a fool;

I could no longer stand it;

Blood began to boil,

Temper I was losin',

Poor ould Erin's isle

They began abusin',

"Hurrah my soul," sez I,

My shillelagh I let fly;

Some Galway boys were by,

Saw I was a hobble in,

Then with a loud hurray,

They joined in the affray.

We quickly cleared the way,

For the rocky road to Dublin.
