ROISIN DUBH (BLACK ROSE)
Para muchos uno de los albumes más icónicos de la banda irlandesa Thin Lizzy fue su noveno LP de estudio "Black Rose" publicado en 1979. Se trata de el album con el que alcanzaron su puesto más alto en las listas de ventas, el único en el que el guitarrista Gary Moore tuvo dedicación a tiempo completo con la banda, y un disco que recurrió abiertamente a ese influjo folk irlandés plasmado en alguna de las composiciones, como en el tema que dio nombre a la obra "(Black Rose) Roisin Dubh" que fue en parte un mix de canciones folclóricas irlandesas con alguna como "Danny Boy" formando parte de la misma, un tema del que hoy dejo en el blog un enlace a youtube.

Tell me the legends of long agoWhen the kings and queens would danceIn the realm of the Black RosePlay me the melodies I want to knowSo I can teach my children, oh
Pray, tell me the story of young CuchulainnHow his eyes were dark his expression sullenAnd how he'd fight and always wonAnd how they cried when he was fallen
Oh, tell me the story of the queen of this landAnd how her sons died at her own handAnd how fools obey commandsOh, tell me the legends of long ago
Where the mountains of MourneCome down to the seaWill she no come back to me?Will she no come back to me?
Oh Shenandoah, I hear you callingFar away you rolling riverRoll down the mountain sideOn down, on down go Lassie go
Oh, tell me the legends of long agoWhen the kings and queens would danceIn the realms of the Black RoseAnd play me the melodies so that I might knowAnd I can tell my children, oh
My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true loveIt was a joy, that Joyce brought to meWhile William Butler waitsAnd Oscar, he's going wild
Ah sure, Brendan where have you been?Looking for a girl with green eyesMy dark Rosaleen is my colleenThat Georgie knows best
But Van is the manStarvation once againDrinking whiskey in the jar, ohSynge's playboy of the western World
As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared thereWhere the Mountains of MourneCome down to the seaIs such a long, long way from Tipperary
