Courtin' In The Kitchen (originale)

Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention
Don’t ever fall in love, it’s the devil’s own invention
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly’s kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen’s Green, where Miss Henry used to go sir
Her manners were so fine, she set my heart a-twitchin'
She invited me to a courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Next Sunday being the day, that we went to have a flare-up
I dressed me self quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife, he had gone on fishin'
So we kicked up high life to hooley in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
She slipped up to her room, I says good Lord, oh lady
She came back down the stairs, wearin' nothin' but her nightie
With her arms around me waist, she slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste, came captain Kelly’s carriage
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
When the captain came downstairs, do we see me situation
In spite of all me prayers, I was marched off to the station
For me they set no bail, but to get to the home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tailor, for I came in to the kitchen
Well, I swore she did invite me, though she gave a flat denial
For assault, they did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all me screechin'
And I got six months hard, for me courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie

(traduzione)

Vieni single bella e bella, prestami attenzione
Non innamorarti mai, è un'invenzione del diavolo
Una volta mi sono innamorato di una donna così affascinante
La signorina Henrietta Bell fuori dalla cucina del capitano Kelly
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
All'età di diciassette anni sono stato "apprendistato da un droghiere
Non lontano da Stephen's Green, dove la signorina Henry era solita andare signore
Le sue maniere erano così belle che mi ha fatto tremare il cuore
Mi ha invitato a un corteggiamento in cucina
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Domenica prossima è il giorno in cui siamo andati ad avere una riacutizzazione
Mi sono vestito da solo abbastanza gay e mi sono arruffato e oliato i capelli
Il capitano non aveva moglie, aveva continuato a pescare
Quindi abbiamo dato il via alla vita con l'hooley in cucina
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
È scivolata nella sua stanza, dico buon Dio, oh signora
Tornò giù per le scale, indossando nient'altro che la sua camicia da notte
Con le sue braccia intorno alla mia vita, ha accennato furtivamente al matrimonio
Quando alla porta arrivò in fretta, la carrozza del capitano Kelly
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Quando il capitano è sceso al piano di sotto, vediamo la mia situazione
Nonostante tutte le mie preghiere, sono stato condotto alla stazione
Per me non hanno fissato una cauzione, ma per arrivare a casa mi prudeva
E ho dovuto dirlo al sarto, perché sono entrato in cucina
Bene, ho giurato che mi ha invitato, anche se ha negato categoricamente
Per aggressione, mi hanno incriminato e sono stato mandato a processo
Ha giurato che ho rapinato la casa nonostante che avessi strillato
E ho sei mesi duri, per me corteggiando in cucina
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Con me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
