GUEST,dubhghaill Folklore: Sex education in song? (45) RE: Folklore: Sex education in song? 07 Dec 09


In Irish we sing:
Tá mo stoca 's mo bhróga ag an Rógaire Dubh,
'S mo naipicín phóca le bliain 's an lá inniu.

Dhá bhfeicfeása Máire taobh eile den tsruth,
Is a dá cois in airde ag an Rógaire Dubh!

The black-haired rogue has my stockings and shoes
and my pocket handkerchief (an allusion to virginity) for a year and a day

If you would see Mary on the other side of the stream
you'd see her two legs raised up high by the black-haired rogue.

It's a very common jig tune, and they play it unknowingly at most music session.
