  1. Amhrán

    Éire liom go fóil a mhuinín óg ¶ And hear my story true

    Éist liom go fóil a mhuirnín óg
    And hear my story true.
    Tá daoine á rádh sa trácht gach lá
    That I am in love with you.
    Do bhé go glór ro-bhinn astóir
    By them by night and day.
    Is ní néosfhainn fé do fíor an sgéul
    But that what the people say.
    II
    Dá bhfaigheadh sé caoil is clú gan smaoil
    And acres broad and free.
    Dá bhfaigheadh sé ór is árd gan ord.
    And ships upon the sea.
    B'fhearr liom tú ná iad a rún mo cleimh.
    Your smiles to light my way
    Gach eile lá a bhí le grádh
    And that what the people say.
    III
    'Sí deirtear fós a cailín cómhair
    That you have love for me.
