这首歌的名字叫Molly Malone,是爱尔兰最有名的民谣之一。在都柏林市中心有一座Molly Malone的雕像。这首歌也是都柏林的非官方市歌。
歌词如下:
In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
"Alive, alive, oh,
Alive, alive, oh",
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
She was a fishmonger,
But sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
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, alive, oh!"

另外这首歌的版本实在太多,凡是和爱尔兰有关的歌手几乎都唱过。我发的这个是当地很有名的一个乐团Dubliners唱的。
