In Dublin’s fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.
She wheeled her (Schubkarren) wheelbarrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying (Herzmuscheln) cockles and (Miesmuscheln) mussles alive, alive, oh!
CHORUS:
Alive, alive oh, alive, alive, oh!
Crying cockles and mussles alive, alive, oh!
She was a (Fischhändlerin) fishmonger
And sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before.
And they both wheeled their (Karren) barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussles alive, alive, oh!
CHORUS
She died of a fever
And no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussles alive, alive, oh!
CHORUS
