Raised on songs & stories, heroes of re-known
The passing tales & glories that once was Dublin town
The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes
That once was Dublin city in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
My name it is Sean Demspey, as Dublin as can be
Born hard & late in Pimlico**, in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory
Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please
A rogue & a child of Mary, from the rebel liberties**
I lost her to a student chap with a skin as black as coal
When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul
Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims my brain
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing & nothing stays the same
The Pillar** & the Met** have gone, the Royal** long since pulled down
As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town
Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey**, I can no longer stay
I watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay
My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes
I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times

Sonako heroi, abesti eta historietan hazia
Igarotako kontakizun eta loriak, behin Dublin hiria izan zena
Areto eta etxe santuak, haurren erritmoen egonleku
Behin Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan izan zena
Jo kanpaia rosie, argia moteltzean
Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan oroitzen dut
Nere izena Sean Demspey da, Dublingoa izan naiteke
Lazki eta berandu Pimlicon** jaioa, jada ez dagoen etxe batean
Lanbidez kupelgilea, erredundantzian galdua
Aurrerapenak eraitsi duen nere etxea bezala, nere lanbidea oroitzapena da
Jo kanpaia rosie, argia moteltzean
Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan oroitzen dut
Peggy Dignan gorteiatu nuen, ederra zinezkoa
Maryko kokin eta kumea, liberties** errebeldekoa
Ikatza bezain beltza zuen azaldun ikasle batengatik galdu nuen
Birminghamera berarekin zihoala, nere arima zeraman
Jo kanpaia rosie, argia moteltzean
Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan oroitzen dut
Urteek gogortu ninduten, gargarak nere gogoa lausatu du
Dublin aldatuz baizihoan eta ezerk berdin jarraitzen ez baidu
The Pillar eta the Met desagertuak dira, the Royal aspaldi behera bota zuten
Hormigoi irmoak nere hiria hiri handi bilakatu zuenean
Jo kanpaia rosie, argia moteltzean
Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan oroitzen dut
Ongi segi Anna Liffey** goxoa, ez naiz askorako egongo
Beirazko kaiola berriak ikusten ditut, kaian udaberriaren datorrenean
Nere gogoa oroitzapenez beteegia dago, kanpaikada berriak entzuteko zaharregia
Dublin garai zahar arraroetan zenaren zatia naiz
Jo kanpaia rosie, argia moteltzean
Dublin hiria garai zahar arraroetan oroitzen dut
