Basta de Obama

Basta Barack, estas en todos lados, ya me tenias un poco harta durante las elecciones pero pensee que me habia librado de vos despues de que ganaste, hoy prendo la tele y ahi estas en Praga y los chupamedias de la BBC transmitiendo tu discurso en vivo.

Lo que sigue es una cancion que escribio un grupo de musicos Irlandeses, The Corrigan Brothers, que la pasaban en la radio cuando asumio el supuesto primer presidente negro de USA. El titulo en castellano es "Nadie es tan Irlandes como Barack Obama" o algo asi.
El chiste es que muchos apellidos Irlandeses comienzan con O' (letra O + apostrofe por ejemplo O'Hara, O'Farrell, O'Connor) por eso escriben Obama O'bama. A los Irlandeses (al menos los que yo conozco!) les gusta buscar la relacion entre la gente que conocen e Irlanda, por ejemplo en mi DNI dice que naci en Hurlingham y que naci en el mes de mayo. Hurling es uno de los deportes nacionales en Irlanda y Mayo es uno de los counties (que son como provincias) Unos Irlandeses que conoci una vez en Galway a los que les mostre mi DNI aseguraban (despues de unas cuantas Guinness) que yo era Irlandesa.



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

He’s in the white house,
He took his chance
Now let’s 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

From Kerry and cork to old Donegal
Let’s hear it for Barack from old moneygall
From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

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 O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

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

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

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 Hayes’s Bar

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
