The Rocky Road To Dublin
Barney McKenna, Ciaran Padraig Maire Bourke, Luke Kelly, Ronald Joseph Drew
While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started
Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born
Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs
And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
A-one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking
Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking
To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay
Was almost tired of 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, follol de-dah
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
It wasn't much in vogue 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, follol de-dah
From there I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs
I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
Or better for instead 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, follol de-dah
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
With a "lo!" and "hurray !" they joined in the affray
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road

Ho suonato alcuni jig robusti, l'acqua intorno a me bolliva
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
Quando fuori Holyhead mi auguravo di essere morto
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
O meglio per invece sulla strada rocciosa per Dublino
One, two, three four, five
Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
Caccia la lepre e girala sulla strada rocciosa
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
E tutte le strade per Dublino, whack, follol de-dah
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
I ragazzi di Liverpool, quando siamo atterrati in sicurezza
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Mi sono chiamato un pazzo, non potevo più sopportarlo
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Il sangue ha iniziato a bollire, stavo perdendo il temperamento
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
Povera vecchia Erin's Isle hanno iniziato ad abusare
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
"Hurrah la mia anima" dico io, il mio Shillelagh ho lasciato volare
Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
I ragazzi di Galway erano lì e hanno visto che stavo zoppicando
With a "lo!" and "hurray !" they joined in the affray
Con un "lo!" e "hurray!" si sono uniti alla rissa
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
Hanno rapidamente sgombrato la strada per la strada rocciosa per Dublino
One, two, three four, five
Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
Caccia la lepre e girala sulla strada rocciosa
And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
E tutte le strade per Dublino, whack, follol de-dah
