What does musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da mean?In: Idioms and Slang |
[Edit] |
no one knows....but,
I have seen other postings where it is spelled "Musha ringum duram da". there is a lot of speculation, but with no firm answers.
found this:
"Musha ring um a do um a da" is very very similar sounding to these Irish words:
Musha => M'uishe (my whiskey)
ring um a => rinne me/ (rinne = past tense of "de/an" which is "do, make, perform, carry out, commit, turn out, reach, establish"; me/ = "I, me")
do => don (from "do" + "an" = "to the, for the")
um a da => amada/n (fool)
I would say, based on this, that "whiskey made me the fool" - man can I relate to this!
other point out that Musha = Muise = indeed, in which case I would say "indeed, i am/was a fool"
others say it is filler, jibberish or misstranslated gaelic.
either way Whiskey in the Jar is a great song. check out Grateful Dead version.
