Eileen Og

The Dubliners

Transposer:

Eileen Og an’ that the darlin’s name is Through the Barony her features they were famous If we loved her then who was there to blame us For wasn’t she the Pride of Petravore?     But her beauty made us all so shy Not a man could look her in the eye Boys Oh boys sure that’s the reason why We’re in mournin’ for the Pride of Petravore      :Eileen Og me heart is growin’ grey Ever since the day you wandered far away Eileen Og there’s good fish in the say But there’s none of them like the Pride of Petravore Friday at the fair of Ballintubber Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber I’d like to set me mark upon the robber For he stole away the Pride of Petravore     He never seemed to see the girl at all Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl Lookin’ big and masterful when she was lookin’ small Most provokin’ for the Pride of Petravore   So it went as ’twas in the beginning Eileen Og was bent upon the winning Big McGrath contentedly was grinning Being courted by the Pride of Petravore Sez he: "I know a girl that could knock you into fits" At that Eileen nearly lost her wits The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits With his arm around the Pride of Petravore    Eileen Og me heart is growin’ grey Ever since the day you wandered far away Eileen Og there’s good fish in the say But there’s none of them like the Pride of Petravore Boys Oh boys with fate ’tis hard to grapple Of my eyes ’tis Eileen was the apple Now to see her walkin’ to the chapel With the hardest featured man in Petravore Now boys this is all I have to say: When you do your courtin’ make no display If you want them to run after you just walk the other way For they’re mostly like the Pride of Petravore Eileen Og me heart is growin’ grey Ever since the day you wandered far away Eileen Og there’s good fish in the say But there’s none of them like the Pride of Petravore

Cette chanson évoque l'histoire d'Eileen, une jeune femme d'une beauté éblouissante qui attire tous les regards dans sa région. Les hommes sont si intimidé par sa grâce qu'ils n'osent même pas la regarder dans les yeux. Au fil de l’histoire, on apprend qu'après avoir disparu un jour, son absence plonge un cœur en mélancolie, lui faisant ressentir un vide immense. Le récit se déroule dans un cadre rural, où les foires et les courbettes amoureuses sont au cœur de la vie sociale. À un moment donné, elle tombe sous le charme de McGrath, un homme moins sensible à sa beauté. Cela soulève des sentiments de jalousie et de frustration chez ceux qui l’admirent. À travers ces thèmes, la chanson aborde le dilemme de l’amour non réciproque, et les conseils sur la séduction, rappelant que parfois, une approche discrète est plus efficace.
