Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy

Whiskey In The Jar

Thin Lizzy




Lyrics:
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier.
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya.

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny.
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly.
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me.
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy.

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber.
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger.
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell.
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels.

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin',
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'.
Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah.

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.

And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o

 Letra:
Mientras iba por las montañas Cork y Kerry
Vi al Capitán Farrell  y el dinero que estaba contando
Primero saqué mi pistola y luego saqué mi espada
Dije "la bolsa o la vida, o el diablo puede llevarte"


Musha ring um a do um a da (*)
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra

Tomé todo su dinero  y era un dineral
Tomé todo su dinero y lo llevé a casa de Molly
Ella juró que me amaría que nunca me dejaría
Pero que el diablo se lleve a esa mujer
Porque sabes que me engaño fácil

Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra


Estando borracho y cansado
Fui al dormitorio de Molly
Llevando a Molly conmigo
No conocía el peligro
Cerca de las seis o tal vez las siete
Entró el Capitán Farrell
Me levante de un salto, disparé mis pistolas
Y le disparé con los dos cañones

Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra

Ahora a algunos hombres les gusta la pesca
Y a algunos hombres les gusta la caza
Y a algunos hombres les gusta escuchar
Escuchar rugir la bala de cañón
Pero a mí me gusta dormir
Especialmente en el dormitorio de mi Molly
Pero aquí estoy, en la cárcel
Aquí estoy con una bola y una cadena, si

Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra



Aclaraciones:

(*) En el estribillo se dice la frase "Musha ring Um A Da" que en irlandés significa:  "el whiskey me hizo una jugarreta"  o algo similar. A la hora de traducirla he decidido conservar la expresión en su versión original ya que este tema es realmente una canción tradicional irlandesa.

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
