Maria Maria

They started up in Donegal, now many years ago.

They crawled out of the woodwork, and they headed for Dunlow.

They found a girl called Mary. They searched in every pub.

Blinded by the whiskey, they cried for mickey beag.

[Chorus:]

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, my Mary from Donlough.

See Packy, Gay and Daniel with the Marys on the stage.

The marchin' bands and hot dog stands and floats and Goats don't shave. (Bää)

A donky derby ,bonny baby and sessions of lonly bands

and the cars with yellow number plates , and the boots all packed with cans

[Chorus]

See the German girl with the backpack that's was bigger than a caravan

Who emptied pints of Guinness twice as fast as any man

There was reels and jigs and Celtic rigs, and smoke from Philbin's bow,

and I cursed the plastic glasses at the Mary from Dunlow

[Chorus x2]

Começaram lá em Donegal, muitos anos atrás.

Saíram do nada e foram pra Dunlow.

Encontraram uma garota chamada Maria. Procuraram em cada bar.

Cegos pela cachaça, gritaram por Mickey Beag.

[Refrão:]

Maria, Maria, bem contrária, como seu jardim cresce?

Maria, Maria, bem contrária, minha Maria de Donlough.

Veja Packy, Gay e Daniel com as Marias no palco.

As bandas de marcha e as barracas de cachorro-quente, e os carros não se depilam. (Bää)

Uma corrida de burros, bebê bonitinho e sessões de bandas solitárias

E os carros com placas amarelas, e os porta-malas cheios de latas.

[Refrão]

Veja a garota alemã com a mochila maior que uma caravana

Que tomava pintas de Guinness duas vezes mais rápido que qualquer homem.

Tinha reels e jigs e danças celtas, e fumaça do arco do Philbin,

e eu xinguei os copos de plástico da Maria de Dunlow.

[Refrão x2]
