Cockles and Mussels [Molly Malone] [Gaelic [Manx Gaelic] translation]

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]:

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!

Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder

For so were her father and mother before

And they both wheeled their barrows

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]

She died of a fever and no one could save her

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone

Now her ghost wheels her barrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

[Chorus]
