MOLLY MALONE

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 the streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive alive O!

Chorus:
Alive alive O! Alive alive O!
Crying cockles and mussels,
Alive alive O!

She was a fish monger,
And sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they wheeled their barrow,
Through the streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive alive O!

She died of a fever,
And sure no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone,
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through the streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive alive O!

Your hero, our son


Vuestro héroe, nuestro hijo

Con estas palabras se refirió este mediodía J.J.O'Hara al Almirante Guillermo Brown en una de sus visitas a nuestra Asociación a las que nos tiene acostumbrados cada vez que visita la Argentina.

J.J. O'Hara es el presidente de la Sociedad Almirante Brown de Foxford, Co. Mayo, Ireland, ciudad natal del fundador de la Armada Argentina.

El Almirante Brown también ocupó un lugar especial en el stand de colectividades.

Las canciones del stand 1

BOLD O'DONOGHUE

Well, here I am from Paddy's land, a land of high renown
I've broke the hearts of all the girls for miles round Keady town
And when they hear that I'm awa' they'll raise a hullabaloo
When they hear about that handsome lad they call O'Donoghue!

Chorus:
For I'm the boy to squeeze her, and I'm the boy to tease her
I'm the boy that can please her, ach, an' I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman
Wi' me brogue and blarney too is me plan
With the holligan, rolligan, swolligan, molligan bold O'Donoghue!

I wish my love was a red. red rose growing on yon garden wall
And me to be a dewdrop and upon her brow I'd fall!
Perhaps now she might think of me as a rather heavy dew
And no more she'd love that handsome lad they call O'Donoghue!

Well I hear that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand
Perhaps she'd take it into her head for to marry an Irishman
And if I could only get the chance to have a word or two
I'm sure she'd take a notion to the bold O'Donoghue!
