    “Ar éirigh damh féin ar maidin lae Bealtaine”

    Share Share Post
    Sean amhran Gaedhilge.
    Ag éirigh damh féin ar maidin lae Bealtaine,
    Fuair mise ‘n drimean dubh báidte i bpoll mhónadh
    Ghread mé mo bhosa agus ghoil mé go cráidte í
    Dhíol mé an craiceann le Seán Ó’Gáirbhe
    Óro a dhrimean dubh ‘s óra ghradh
    A dhrimean dubh dhílis go dtéidh tú slán.
    II
    ‘S is mór an mhaith damhsa bheith sábhail féir
    Nuair a chaill mé an drimean dubh
    ‘S í in a céim
    ‘S Óro a drimean dubh ‘sórd a’gradh
    A dhrimean dubh dhílis go dtéidh tú slan.
    III
    Ní theacaidh an bhaorach suas ar chois
    Ar bhó ba mhó bainne ‘s ba mhilse blas.
    A mhéad na gcreamhair ní chorrochadh cos
    ‘S ord dhrimean dubh ‘s oro a ghradh
    A dhrimean dubh dhílis go dtéidh tú slán.
