Final* Version !!! (yay)
Jul. 19th, 2005 01:36 pmOf that "Irish Proverb Song"
( This Penny in My Purse )
The proverb this comes from btw, is:
"A word is more enduring than worldly wealth"
You can download a .wav of someone speaking this in Irish, and read a little explaination of it here.
It is, naturally, snappier and catchier and pithier in the original language.
Other proverbs I'm tempted to write songs for:
Life is the strange son (challenging, I know, but...)
Whoever brings you one story, will take away two (I disagree, somewhat, with the explaination provided here)
Two people shorten the road
and The Grace of God is found between the saddle and the ground (mainly, because I can think of three interpretations of this simultaneously, and that amuses me).
