Moin Kate!
Was musstn singen?
"John Wright - Carrickfergus" ....hör ich gerade bzw schon die ganze Zeit. Irisches Traditional
I wish I was back in Carrickfergus
Only four nights back in Ballygrant
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Only four nights back in Ballygrant
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Neither have I the wings to fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy times spent so long ago
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on now, like the melting snow
(bis hierher gings auswendig)
So I'll spend my days in endless roving
Soft is the grass and my bed is free
Oh, to be young now, back in Carrickfergus
Oh, the long road down to the soft blue sea
(ab hier wieder auswendig)
Sure in Kilkenny it is reported
They have marble stone there as black as ink
With gold and silver, I must support her
But I'll sing no more now, till I've had a drink

For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober



A handsome rover, from town to town
Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered
Come all you young men, and lay me down
Du merkst, viel fehlt mir nimmer und ich hab noch an Tag Zeit, des sollte doch zu schaffen sein, die vier Zeilen noch gar reinzukriegen bis morgen mittag.
