There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama
Già alla vigilia delle elezioni, si sapeva che il neo Presidente degli Usa, Barack Obama, avesse radici irlandesi provenienti da un piccolo villaggio nella contea di Offaly. Così un gruppo irlandese ha composto la canzone There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama che, da subito, si è insediata in vetta nella hit parade britannica.
There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama dopo qualche giorno ha fatto il giro del mondo ed è tra i brani più ascoltati delle classifiche del colosso americano Youtube. Abbiamo deciso di pubblicizzarla e condividerla con voi.
Ma di cosa parla questa canzone? La band ‘Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys’ afferma che il presidente afroamericano (le cui origini irlandesi risalirebbero al diciottesimo secolo) è “irlandese come il vecchio JFK”, o come i cognomi “O’Leary, O’Riley, O’Hare e O’Hara”.

Testo
No one as Irish as Barack OBama
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
You don’t believe me, I hear you say
But Barack’s as Irish, as was JFK
His granddaddy’s daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, well known to you all
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish As Barack O’Bama
He’s as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
He’s Hawaiian he’s Kenyan American too
Hes in the white house, He took his chance
Now lets see Barack do Riverdance
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish As Barack O’Bama (Rit2.)
From Kerry and cork to old Donegal
Lets hear it for Barack from old moneygall
From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama (Rit.)
From the old blarney stone to the great hill of Tara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
2008 the white house is green, their cheering in Mayo and in Skibereen.
The Irish in Kenya, and in Yokahama,
Are cheering for President Barack OBama
(Rit.)
The Hockey Moms gone, and so is McCain
They are cheering in Texas and in Borrisokane,
In Moneygall town, the greatest of drama, for our Famous president Barack o Bama
(Rit2.)
The great Stephen Neill, a great man of God,
He proved that Barack was from the Auld Sod
They came by bus and they came by car, to celebrate Barack in Ollie Hayess Bar
(Rit.)
