Captain Kelly's Kitchen (originale)

Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention
Don’t ever fall in love, it’s the devil’s own invention
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly’s kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen’s Green where Miss Henri used to go sir
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up
He dressed himself quite gay, I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man’s kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly’s carriage
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station
For him they’d take no bail, to get home I was itchin'
He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
I said she did invite me, but she gave flat denial
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore he’d robbed her house in spite of all her screechin'
I got six months hard for his courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie

(traduzione)

Vieni da me single e ragazza, presta attenzione
Non innamorarti mai, è un'invenzione del diavolo
Per una volta si innamorò di una fanciulla così affascinante
La signorina Henrietta Bell nella cucina del capitano Kelly
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
All'età di diciassette anni ho fatto l'apprendista presso un droghiere
Non lontano da Stephen's Green, dove la signorina Henri andava signore
I suoi modi erano sublimi, mi ha fatto tremare il cuore
Quando mi ha invitato a una festa in cucina
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
La domenica era il giorno in cui avrebbero avuto la loro riacutizzazione
Si è vestito in modo abbastanza omosessuale, mi sono arruffato e mi sono oliato i capelli
Il Capitano non aveva moglie ed era andato a pescare
Mi ha palpato sulle scale sotto la cucina del vecchio
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
Con le braccia intorno alla mia vita ha accennato furtivamente al matrimonio
Quando alla porta arrivò in fretta la carrozza del capitano Kelly
I suoi occhi erano pieni di odio e veleno che stava sputando
Il Capitano ha sfondato la porta e si è precipitato in cucina
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
Quando il Capitano è sceso al piano di sotto, ha visto la mia situazione
Nonostante tutte le sue preghiere, fu condotto alla stazione
Per lui non avrebbero preso la cauzione, per tornare a casa mi prudeva
Doveva raccontare come sono entrato in cucina
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
Ho detto che mi ha invitato, ma ha negato categoricamente
Per aggressione mi ha incriminato e io sono stato mandato a processo
Ha giurato che le aveva rapinato la casa nonostante tutti i suoi strilli
Ho avuto sei mesi duri per il suo corteggiamento in cucina
Con me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
Me toora loora la e me toora loora laddie
