NEVER WEDD AN OLD MAN Melodia tradizionale irlandese Una canzone molto popolare che scoraggia le giovani donne irlandesi a sposare uomini troppo anziani Un vecchio mi corteggiava per sposarmi, ed io ero giovane, ragazze, quando siete giovani, non sposate mai un vecchio! Andammo in chiesa e mi piantò in asso ed io ero giovane, ragazze, quando siete giovani, non sposate mai un vecchio! Quando andammo a letto rimase disteso come morto, ragazze, quando siete giovani, non sposate mai un vecchio! Quando si addormentò strisciai fuori dal letto nelle braccia di un bel giovane!!		An old man came courting me, hey ding dooram day An old man came courting me, me being young An old man came courting me, all for to marry me Maids, when you're young never wed an old man Because he's got no faloorum, fadidle eye-oorum He's got no faloorum, fadidle all day He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum Oh maids when you're young, never wed an old man When we went to church, hey ding dooram day When we went to church, me being young When we went to church, he left me in the lurch Maids when you're young, never wed an old man When we went to bed, hey ding doorum day When we went to bed, me being young When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead Maids when you're young never wed an old man When he went to sleep, hey ding doorum day When he went to sleep, me being young When he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep Into the arms of a handsome young man And I found his faloorum, fadidle eye-oorum I found his faloorum, fadidle all day I found his faloorum, he got my ding doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man
