Текст песни
[Verse 1] Step right up to the roaring fire, The ale is flowing and the spirits are higher! A rusty fiddle strikes up a tune, We’ll dance away till past the moon! With a stamp of the boot and a clap of the hand, We’ve got the jolliest folk in the land! [Chorus] So hey nonny no and a bottle of rye, Raise up your tankards and sing to the sky! Stomp on the floorboards, let the rafters ring, Hear the bonny whistle and the fiddlers sing! Drink down the cider, let the laughter pour, We’ll dance till the morning upon the tavern floor! [Verse 2] The low whistle answers the fiddle’s call, A merry old dance for the one and all! The bodhrán thumps with a steady beat, And nobody’s sitting on resting feet! A wink and a grin from the tavern keeper’s wife, This is the heart of a good tavern life! [Chorus] So hey nonny no and a bottle of rye, Raise up your tankards and sing to the sky! Stomp on the floorboards, let the rafters ring, Hear the bonny whistle and the fiddlers sing! Drink down the cider, let the laughter pour, We’ll dance till the morning upon the tavern floor! [Bridge] (Fiddle Solo) (Whistle and Fiddle Exchange) Keep the rhythm going, don't miss a beat, Clap your hands and stamp your feet! One, two, three, four, round we go! Faster and faster as the tunes overflow! [Chorus] So hey nonny no and a bottle of rye, Raise up your tankards and sing to the sky! Stomp on the floorboards, let the rafters ring, Hear the bonny whistle and the fiddlers sing! Drink down the cider, let the laughter pour, We’ll dance till the morning upon the tavern floor! [Outro] Slàinte! (Laughter and cheering fade out)
