Now way down in a woken town,
Where the boys you might find
Some happy and some sad
But some drunk all around
Let the breeze a'blowin' on 'em come home
The door is shaken in the wind
Now that's when the boys will sing
To the rose of Erin
Well she waited for the new railroad
Rolling light to get in town
You could see she was ready for the show
As she came waltzing down
Who's that singing in the alley?
I, stepping all across the floor
She became a new sensation,
And everybody screamed for more
With teardrops on bone,
She drinks from the mountain spring
They say it was the nightingale
That gave her the voice to sing
Ladadada, lalalalala la
Ladadada, lalalala la
Now, she's burned all the flowers at her door
Sent by gangsters and candidates
How many thought she was living with the lord
Kept her picture like a saint
Till one winter night in Chicago,
(In a) cheap Cayman saloon
She blew a model hole in a lover
And blasted away from the room
The poor handle revolver was found lying in the snow
And she left one daughter in a bag of Cali gold
She must have lost herself in New Orleans
And cleared the light of Japanese
Oh, the world is teeming down in old Hong Kong
And the drifters leap across the China Sea
Let the breeze upon 'em come home
The door a'shaken in the wind
Now that's when the boys will sing
To the rose of Erin
When it's late at night (the rose of Erin)
When it's really late at night (Rose of Erin)
Joe Strummer, born John Graham Mellor (1952-2002), was a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and radio host. Known for being the frontman of The Clash, one of the most influential punk bands in music history. Born in Ankara, Turkey, to English parents, Strummer spent his childhood between London and continental Europe. Influenced by American rock 'n' roll and British folk music, he began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1976, he founded The Clash with Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon. The band quickly became a symbol of the punk movement, blending punk energy, reggae, ska, and rockabilly into a unique and revolutionary sound. Their albums, such as *London Calling* (1979) and *Sandinista!* (1980), are considered milestones in punk music and have influenced generations of musicians. After The Clash disbanded in 1986, Strummer continued to pursue a successful musical career as a solo artist, collaborating with artists like Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. He died suddenly in 2002 at the age of 50. Among Joe Strummer's most representative songs are: *London Calling*, *Should I Stay or Should I Go*, *Rock the Casbah*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
