Talán a kedvenc ír népdalom. Nem egyszerű gyorsan énekelni... de most már lehet magyarul is próbálkozni. Így még nehezebb :) Eredeti dalszöveg alább. Probably my favorite Irish folk-song. Not easy to sing at a fast pace... now you can try it in Hungarian. That way it's even harder :) Original lyrics below. Dal adatok: Eredeti cím: The little beggarman ("A kis koldusember", máshol "The jolly beggarman" - "A vidám koldusember", innen a magyar cím) Eredet: sajnos nem találtam megbízható információt a dal eredetéről, Nagy-Brittania-szerte évszázadok óta ismertek különböző verziók, melyeket több tucat különböző néven játszanak. Itt a High Kings nevű csapat verzióját vettem alapul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl6JWSi8jXo). Kiadás: The High Kings: The High Kings, Manhattan Records, 2008 Magyar szöveg (nem hivatalos): szallokadallal Kép: Jon Sullivan: Glengesh pass in Ireland stream brooks water moss, 2009 (http://www.public-domain-image.com) Song data: Original title: The little beggarman (translated here as "the jolly beggarman's song", since the song also goes by the similar title of "the jolly beggarman" elsewhere, and I think it fits well) Origins: unfortunately couldn't find reliable information on the origins of the song, various versions have been played throughout the UK for centuries going by several dozen different titles. The current translation is based on the version by the High Kings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl6JWSi8jXo).

I am a little beggarman and begging I have been For three score or more in this little isle of green I'm known from the Liffey down to Segue And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu Of all the trade's that's going, sure begging is the best For when a man is tired, he can sit down and rest He can beg for his dinner, he has nothing else to do Only cut around the corner with his old rig-a-doo Refr. I slept in the barn, way down at Caurabawn A wet night came on and I slept 'till the dawn With holes in the roof and the rain coming through And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo When who did I waken but the woman of the house With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse She began to frighten and I said "boo Aarah, don't be afraid mam it's only Johnny Dhu" Refr. I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day" Good morning little flaxy-haired girl" I did say" Good morning little beggarman, a how do you do With your rags and your tags and your old rig-a-doo" I'll buy a pair of leggings, a collar and a tie And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by I'll buy a pair of goggles and I'll colour them blue And an old fashioned lady I will make her too Refr. variation Over the road with my pack on my back Over the fields with my great heavy sack With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through Singing skinny-me-rink a doodle o and old Johnny Dhu I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night The fire's all raked and out goes the light So now you've heard the story of my old rig-a-doo It's good-bye and God be with you says old Johnny Dhu Refr. variation 2.
