    “Brón ar an Bhéarla”

    Share Share Post
    Sean amhran gaedhilge.
    I
    Brón ar an Bhéarla
    Is truagh bocht mo gléas leis.
    Ní rabh agamsa ariamh
    Ach “Yes” agus “No”
    II
    Casadh damh ‘n Mhaighdean
    A’s dubhairt sí “Be easy”
    “I beg you don’t tease me
    But let me alone”.
    III
    ‘Sé thuig mé ‘s mo réasún
    Gurb é chan sí sa bhéarla
    “Druid thusa anall liom
    Agus tabhair díom póg!”
    IV
    Dhruid mise anonn leithe
    ‘S níor spárail mé ‘h-éadan
    Bhí cúig phunnta dhéag
    Ins an cháin a rinn Eóin.
    V
    D’árduigh siad leobhtha
    Go lathair a bhéil mé
    “Hang him the rogue!”
    A deireadh gach aon.
