Irish Folksongs - Comical genius

Tekst :

O a comical genius was thinking one day
How he d jack up his job and receive handy pay
He did not like begging and work was too hard
So he got a bright notion to join up the guard
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day

Well he went up to Dublin, to the depot went in
Got a new suit of blue as bright as new pins
They drilt him, they drilt him, they drilt him so hard
The old sergeant proclaimed him a full fledged guard
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day

He was stationed somewhere near the town of Athy
On the roads of the district he kept a close eye
The girls they admired him as all brassers do
Fell in love with the guard and his new suit of blue
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day

Well the girls they would wink and they d nod as he passed
O but this itchy guard had his eye on one lass
And this little colleen, she being a die-hard
She made it quite clear that she wanted no guard
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day

Well one time while on duty on a cold winter s night
Sure he caught her out cycling without any light
Where s your light, miss? says he; for an answer says she
It s next to me liver, where you ll never be
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day

    Kilka łez

    Kilka łez, drobnych łez,
    co drżą u rzęs,
    kilka łez, gorzkich łez,
    miłość i sens.
    Czy tam gdzie ty idziesz przez noc,
    też znaczą łzy, niepewny krok
    że wrócę na twój pierwszy znak
    naiwnie tak, marzysz jak ja
    Co dzieli nas to tylko łzy,
    bez winy ja, niewinnyś ty

    Stand up

    Let s party on
    Let s have some fun
    Because tonight will be the night
    The best of our lives
    Don’t be alone
    Don’t feel so shy
    If you keep pumping to the beat
    It’s make you feel alright, now!

    The crowd will dance together
    This feeling lasts forever
    We’re gonna celebrate
    No one can stop us now, yeah!

    Just...

    Stranger

    I m just a lonely boy and I play
    With my red kite in the sky
    I hold the string in both of my hands
    Try to teach it to fly

    But then the wind becomes much stronger
    And breaks my dream in two...

    Big fish

    Jenny came home from her trip away last winter.
    No-one knew what had got into her.
    Soon you could not go two steps without getting word of her.
    And there were a lot who wished they never heard of her.

    It was a big fish...

    Nagle zapomnieć wszystko

    ach czemu w miejscu masz stać
    na boki zacznij się chwiać
    zrób jeden szybki krok w przód
    na przekór reżimom mód
    wyłamać możesz się im
    właśnie teraz

    rozpieprzyć czas w drobny mak
    choć czasu pozornie brak
    bagaż wykroczeń i win
    jak gdyby był byle czym
    odrzucić możesz go dziś
    właśnie teraz

    dziś ci wyjawię skrycie
    że chciałbym wielką czystką
    rozpocząć nowe życie:
    życiorys, nazwisko
    nagle zapomnieć...
