BALDOSA 107: DUBLIN 007

Esta é a famosa canción de Molly Malone, cantada polo grupo The Dubliners, canción que é casi como un himno para os dublineses, e que conta a vida da famosa e querida pescadera Molly Malone.

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".

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

(chorus)

'Now I was a Rover,
'And sailed the seas over,
'So I bid my farewell to sweet Molly Malone.
'And as I was sailing,
'The wild wind was wailing,
'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)
