Текст песни Белфаст - Капитан Фаррел

Early one morning I walked through the mountains,
I met the captain and began to seek a quarrel with him.
Then I took out a sword and a flintlock pistol,
Saying: "Drive a coin, unlucky passer-by!"

Mash-a-room-taga-dum-daga-yes!
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is
Everything in the world is nonsense!

I counted the booty: two shillings, three pennies
I took them home to my beautiful Jenny.
She swore firmly to be silent until the lid of the coffin,
But God created a woman at the instigation of the devil!

Mash-a-room-taga-dum-daga-yes!
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is
Everything in the world is nonsense!

So I went up to the bedroom, and I fell asleep,
I didn’t wait for Jenny, I immediately passed out.
She stole the bullets and broke my sword
She sent a messenger for Captain Farrell.

Mash-a-room-taga-dum-daga-yes!
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is
Everything in the world is nonsense!

I got out of bed in the morning unshaven and long-haired,
Suddenly I see the captain, and with him his soldiers.
I grabbed the scabbard, and there are only fragments in them,
And then they grab me and knit my little hands!

Mash-a-room-taga-dum-daga-yes!
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is
Everything in the world is nonsense!
