MUSICA
Autore: Sconosciuto
Canzone: The Wild Rover



The Wild Rover è una antica canzone della tradizione folkloristica irlandese.

LYRICS

I've been a wild rover for many a year 
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer, 
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
 And I never will play the wild rover no more.

 chorus: And it's no, nay, never, 
No nay never no more, 
Will I play the wild rover 
No never no more. 

I went to an ale-house I used to frequent 
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
 I asked her for credit, she answered me
 "nay Such a custom as yours I could have any day." 

chorus

 I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright 
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
 She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
 And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest." 

chorus 

I'll go home to my parents, 
confess what I've done 
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
 And if they caress (forgive) me as ofttimes before 
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more. 

chorus
