For Nolan’s Irish Pub Session Players I’LL TELL ME MA - THE DUBLINERS I’ll tell me ma when I get home the boys won’t leave the girls alone They pulled me hair they stole me comb but that’s all right till I go home. She is handsome she is pretty she’s the Belle of Belfast city She is a courtin’ a one two three Please won’t you tell me who is she? Albert Mooney says he loves her all the boys are fightin’ for her Knock at the door ring at the bell and "Oh me true love are you well?" Out she comes white as snow rings on her fingers bells on her toes Old Johny Morrissey says she’ll die if she doesn’t get a fella with the roving eye. I’ll tell me ma when I get home the boys won’t leave the girls alone They pulled me hair they stole me comb but that’s all right till I go home. She is handsome she is pretty she’s the Belle of Belfast city She is a courtin’ a one two three Please won’t you tell me who is she? [instrumental]                                      Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high and the snow comes a travelin’ through the sky She’s as sweet as an apple pie she’ll get her own lad by and by When she gets a lad of her own she won’t tell her ma when she gets home. Let them all come as they will It’s Albert Mooney she loves still. I’ll tell me ma when I get home the boys won’t leave the girls alone They pulled me hair they stole me comb but that’s all right till I go home. She is handsome she is pretty she’s the Belle of Belfast city She is a courtin’ a one two three Please won’t you tell me who is she?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un jeune homme qui promet de raconter à sa mère ses mésaventures amoureuses lorsqu’il rentrera chez lui. Il se retrouve entouré de garçons qui rivalisent pour l'affection d'une belle jeune fille, surnommée la "Belle de Belfast". Les amis se chamaillent pour attirer son attention, tandis que la jeune femme reste au centre de toutes les convoitises, provoquant rumeurs et compétitions. Dans un ton léger et jovial, la chanson évoque une atmosphère de flirt et de jeunesse, où l'innocence des amours naissants et les rivalités amicales se mêlent. Les références à des personnages comme Albert Mooney ajoutent une touche d'humour à cette dynamique. Ce morceau fait souvent écho aux traditions et à l'identité culturelle irlandaises, célébrant ainsi les histoires d’amour et les intrigues des jeunes de Belfast.
