La Nordaj Lumoj / The Northern Lights ☆アイルランド,スコットランド,ウェールズに思いを馳せつつ、世界を冷静な目で見つめます。/ ☆Sopirante Irlandon, Skotlandon kaj Kimrion, mi rigardu Japanion kaj la tutmondon de la kritika vidpunkto. /☆Longing to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I shall look at Japan and the world from the critical point of view.
=Chorus=
Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky!
Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye!
Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky!
Ah wid drink ye dry.
Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place,
But the price of the whisky is grim.
How nice it would be if the whisky was free
And the Loch was filled up to the brim.
I'd buy a yacht with the money I've got
And I'd anchor it out in the bay.
If I wanted a nip I'd go in for a dip
I'd be swimmin' by night and by day.
We'd have a gathering of the clans
They'd come from near and far
I can see them grin as they're wading in
And shouting "Slàinte mhòr*!". *Good luck,good health等の意味 「スラーンチ ヴォール」に近い発音
But what if the boat should overturn
And drowned in the Loch was I?
You'd hear me shout, you'd hear me call out
"What a wonderful way to die !"
But what's this I see, ochone for me
It's a vision to make your blood freeze.
It's the police afloat in a dirty big boat
And they're shouting: "Time, gentlemen, please!"
アイルランド国会は2月1日、マカリース大統領(Presidend Mary McAleese)によってに解散され、今月25日に総選挙が行われることになりました。
昨日のブログにも書いたように、カウエン首相(Taoiseach Brian Cowen)は退陣し、総選挙に立候補しません。
混迷を深めるアイルランド経済をどう立て直すのか、アイルランド、EUのみならず世界が注目する選挙になりそうです。
日本もガラガラポンでやり直した方がよいような気もしますが・・・
Mi elkore dankas Ĉiujn vizitantojn de la tutmondo.
I should like to thank all the visitors from all over the world.
