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.
