SO FILL ME TO THE PARTING GLASS

Hoy han puesto en Radio3 una de esas canciones irlandesas que ponen los pelos de punta, aunque sean las cuatro de la tarde y vayas conduciendo camino del trabajo:The Parting Glass. Habla de los camaradas y las mujeres que se echarán de menos cuando uno abandone la ciudad, aunque de momento lo mejor será brindar, beber y que la alegría llene las copas de cada uno.

The Parting Glass

Of all the money e'er I had, I spent it in good company;
And all the harm I've ever done, alas was done to none but me;
And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall,
So fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had , they wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town who sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has my heart in thrall,
So fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

No, esto no tiene que ver con lo de Carlos Llamas, pero cualquiera sabe, ya es casualidad.
