about

Parmi les morceaux les plus
légers sur l’album de Keltas on
trouve « Madam I’m a
Darling », une histoire
d’amour. (et… d’autres choses)
Un jeune homme, un soir,
croise une jeune femme, qui
est mariée... La femme est
mariée à un homme d’un
certain âge. Probablement
pour des raisons économiques.
Certaines versions de la
chanson prennent place dans
la ville de Dublin au lieu de
Chester pour changer de
nationalité. Cependant cette
chanson traditionnelle est très
certainement anglaise.

lyrics

As I roved out near Chester city
In the dark all late at night
Who should I see but a fair young maiden
Washing her clothes by the fair moon light
Chorus (after each verse):
Madam, I'm a darling, a di ro, a dither o
Madam, I'm a darling, a di ro dae
First she washed them, then she squeezed them
And then she hung them out to dry
Then she folded up her arms
Saying what a nice, young man am I
Going to the well for a pale of water
Fetching it home for to make some tea
She fell under, I fell over
All the game was above her knee
Madam, I will tie your garter
And I will tie it above your knee
And if you like I'll tie it up further
Madam, I'm a darling, a di ro de
Have you ever heard of cups and saucers
Rattlin' in an auld tin can?
Have you ever heard of a fair, young maiden
Married to an ugly, gray old man?
Madam, you have gold and silver
And madam, you have tracks of land
Madam you have ships on the ocean
All you need is a fine, young man
