The Fields of Athenry

Imagen
  Balada folclórica irlandesa escrita en 1979 por Pete St. John Ambientada durante la hambruna de 1840, la letra presenta a un hombre de Athenry, en el condado de Galway , que robó comida para su familia y fue sentenciado a ser deportado a la colonia penal australiana.  Letra: By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyan's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison shop lies waiting in the bay Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled, they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she lived in hope and pray For her ...

Letra Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight With people here working by day and by night They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat But there's gangs of them diggin' For gold in the street At least when I asked them That's what I was told so I just took a hand At this diggin' for gold But for all that I've found there I might as well be In the place where the dark Mourne Sweeps down to the sea I believe that when writin' A wish you expressed As to how the fine ladies In London were dressed Well if you'll believe me When asked to a ball They don't wear no tops to Their dresses at all Oh, I've seen them myself and You could not in truth Tell it if they were bound for A ball or a bath Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary McRee In...

Imagen
