From the album "Common Ground - Voices of modern Irish music" |
|
Ta bean in Eirinn a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol |
|
Is ta bean in Eireann is ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil |
|
No seinm thead; ata bean in Eirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo |
|
Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod |
|
Ta bean in Eirinn a bheadh ag ead liom mur bhfaighfinn ach pog |
|
O/ bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo; |
|
Ta bean ab fhearr liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo |
|
Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghranna croin. |
|
Ta bean a dearfadh da siulann leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or, |
|
Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo |
|
Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clar Thir Eoghain, |
|
Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol. |
