Текст песни: Ramblin' Irishman + перевод

I am a ramblin' Irishman

It’s Ulster I was born in

And manys the happy hour I spent

On the banks of sweet Loch Erin

Ah but to live poor I could not endure

Like others of my station

To America I sailed away

And left this Irish nation

Rie tan tah na nah tan tan na nah

Rie tan tan a noo tan a tan deh

The night before I went away

I spent it with my darlin

From 2 o’clock in the afternoon

Til the break of day next morning

And when that we were going for to part

We linked in each other’s arm

And you may be sure, ah and very very sure

It’s wounded both her charms

Rie…

The very first night I spent on board

I dreamt about my Nancy

I dreamt I held her in my arms

And it’s well she pleased my fancy

Ah, but in the morning when I awoke

And I found my bosom empty

Ah you may be sure, and very very sure

That I lay discontented

Rie…

Ah but when we reached the other side

We both stout and healthy

We dropped our anchor in the bay

Going down to Philadelphie

Let every lass link with her lad

Blue jacket and white trousers

Let every lad link with his lass

Blue petticoat and white blousers

Tan tan na nah…. (repeat first verse…)
