《Dublin In The Rare Oul Times》歌词

[00:00:01] Dublin In The Rare Oul Times - Shannon Singers

[00:00:12] Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown.

[00:00:21] Are the passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town.

[00:00:31] The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes.

[00:00:39] That once was Dublin city in the rare old times.

[00:00:49] Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,

[00:00:57] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:01:09] My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be

[00:01:18] Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be.

[00:01:28] By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy.

[00:01:36] Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory.

[00:01:47] Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,

[00:01:54] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:02:06] The years have made me bitter, tha gargle dims my brain,

[00:02:15] Cause Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same.

[00:02:25] The Pillar and the Met have gone,

[00:02:29] The Royale long since pulled down,

[00:02:33] As the great unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town.

[00:02:44] Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,

[00:02:51] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:03:03] Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey,

[00:03:08] I can no longer stay,

[00:03:12] And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the Quay.

[00:03:22] My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes,

[00:03:30] I'm part of what was Dublin, in the rare old times.

[00:03:41] Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,

[00:03:49] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:03:58] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times
