Molly Malone

La cancion que escuchareis a continuacion cuenta la historia de una bella mujer, llamada Molly Malone. Ella iba con su carro por las calles de Dublin vendiendo mejillones y berberechos al grito "¡Mejillones y berberechos vivos!", hasta que un dia murio a causa de una fiebres. Desde entonces se cuenta que su fastama vaga por aquellas calles entonando la misma frase.

Letra:  

In Dublin's fair city,

Where the girls are so pretty,

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,

As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,

Through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!" 

"Alive, alive, oh,

Alive, alive, oh",

Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh". 

She was a fishmonger,

But sure 'twas no wonder,

For so were her father and mother before,

And they each wheeled their barrow,

Through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!" 

(chorus) 

She died of a fever,

And no one could save her,

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.

Now her ghost wheels her barrow,

Through streets broad and narrow,

Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!" 

(chorus)
