    This is an unpublished version of " Danny Boy " written by Mícael Óg MacFadden Kilcar - about 20 years ago - Its a very " free translation " of above song-

    A Dhómhnaill dhíl siud píoba 'n Gaedheal ag scáirtigh
    Ó gleann go gleann 's thart fa shleas an t-sléibh
    Ta'n samhradh uainn 's ní buan an rós bhí bláthmhar
    Bí réidh gur triall fag mise 'rúin mo chléibh
    Acht tar ar ais le blátha 'deas an t-samhraidh
    No nuair ta'n sneachta líonadh suas na ngleann,
    Gheobhair mise fíor go mór cíbe an t-athrúghadh
    Mo Dhómhnall Óg mo leannan dhíl mo ghrádh !

    (II)

    Acht ma thig tú 'r 'ais 's na blátha 'lig bheith críonadh
    'Gur mise i gcré go fuar ag tabhairt an fhéir
    Nach dtiochfaidh tú 'n na h-uaighe bhfuil mé sínte
    'Gur úmhlughadh síos gnídh ar son do raeghe
    Gur chluinfead thú gidh uasal bog do choisceim
    'S béidh m'uaighe cumhaing níos milse gur níos teó
    No chromfa tú go gcluinfidh mé na h-ornaidhe
    'S luighfeadh annsin faoi shuan go ciúin go deó
