Local Songs
“Dá mbeadh pípín lán tobac agam”
Dá mbeadh pípín lán tobac agam
Agus boiscín lán de shnaoise
Braoinín uisge-beatha
Agus an barraille bheith líonta
Leabaidh mhaith chum chodhlata
Is níor bhfada liom an oidhche
Is níor bhaoghal don duine an bhaile seo
Mo chapaill ná mo chaora. Local Songs

Occured the other day.

And entered in Killarney lakes,
