Dick Gaughan - Erin-go-Bragh dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Erin-go-Bragh

My name’s Duncan Campbell from the shire of Argyll
I’ve travelled this country for many a mile
I’ve travelled through Ireland, Scotland and all
And the name I go under is bold Erin-go-Bragh
 
One night in Edinburgh I walked down the street
When I chanced to meet a saucy big policeman
He glowered in my face and he gave me some jaw
Saying when came you over, bold Erin-go-Bragh?
 
Well, I am not a Pat though in Ireland I’ve been
Nor am I a Paddy though Ireland I’ve seen
But were I a Paddy that’s nothing at all
For there’s many bold heroes in Erin-go-Bragh
 
Well I know you’re a Pat by the cut of your hair
But you all turn to Scotsman as soon as you’re here
You left your own country for breaking the law
And we’re seizing all stragglers from Erin-go-Bragh
 
And were I a Pat and you know it was true
Or was I the Devil, then what’s that to you?
Were it not for the stick that you hold in your paw
I’d show you a game played in Erin-go-Bragh
 
And a lump of blackthorn that I held in my fist
Around his big body I made it to twist
And the blood from his napper I quickly did draw
And paid him stock-and-interest for Erin-go-Bragh
 
But the people came around like a flock of wild geese
Saying: catch that damn rascal he has killed the policeman
And for every friend I had I’m sure he had two
It was terrible hard times for Erin-go-Bragh
 
But I came to a little boat that sailed in the Forth
And I packed up my gear and I headed northwards
Farewell to Edinburgh, your policeman and all
And walk with the Devil, says Erin-go-Bragh
 
So come all you young people, wherever you’re from
I don’t give a damn to what place you belong
I come from Argyll in the Highlands so beautiful
But I never took it ill being called Erin-go-Bragh
