An unexpected gain from a one-day trip - a nice song

After bidding farewell to Contown and Galway, I came to Killarney, another beautiful city in Ireland. Like Galway, it is also an important tourist city in Ireland with a strong business atmosphere. Even the backpacker hostel I stayed in seemed very commercial, comfortable, clean, and convenient, but otherwise had no special features. Here, even that signature Irish accent is gone. Although communication is no longer throbbing, I always seem to feel that something is wrong.

When I came to Killarney, I signed up for a one-day tour group for the first time. Unlike domestic drivers and tour guides who each perform their own duties, here the driver is the tour guide. He will explain the whole process while driving, joking with everyone from time to time to liven up the atmosphere. I remember him making the whole car laugh when he told a joke about the then-President of the United States.

Among all the contents explained by the driver, what impressed me most was an Irish song he sang for everyone, and what surprised me was that most of the people in the car could actually sing it. Sing this song. But for me, this was the first time I heard it. I was deeply attracted by the melody of this song.

Suddenly, a vague image of a person appeared in my mind, and then the image became clearer and clearer. By the way, it was the girl with a pushcart on the streets of Dublin. It turned out that this girl was sung in this song. She is Molly Malone. When I first went to Dublin, although I saw a statue of Molly Malone, I didn't know about this song. I decided at that time that when I returned to Dublin this time, I must go and take a closer look. In "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," which I just watched recently, the little girl Francie's grandfather's family is from Ireland, and her father's favorite song when he comes home is Molly Malone.

I highly recommend this version sung by The Dubliners. It is performed with a unique Irish accent. As soon as the music starts, it can capture people's hearts instantly. When you close your eyes and listen carefully, a story unfolds. Speak like this along with the music.

After returning from that one-day trip, I became interested in Irish music. Whenever I heard music wherever I went, I would prick up my ears and listen carefully. Irish traditional music is still very nice, with melodious melodies and slightly sentimental lyrics. It tells the story of Ireland's suffering and is also full of love for its hometown of Ireland.

I hope everyone likes this song.
