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.

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...
