    “Lá dá rabhasa i ngleann im aonar”

    Share Share Post
    Lá dá rabhasa i ngleann im aonar
    Ag fiadhach go haerach is mo choin le'm thaoibh
    I espied a damsel with handsome features
    And she dressed so neatly in her mantle green
    Bhí sgáil na leacain mar dath an róis ghil
    Is ba binne a glór na ceolta sidhe
    Her love and friendship pierced through my nature
    And I'd wish her daily to live with me.
    Do ritheas na coinnibh is mo chlaidheamh im dhóid dheas
    Is diarras ar an óigbhean gabhail liom mar mnaoi
    She answered kindly, sir, do not tease me
    For I'm intoxicated by Luther's breed.
    Is tá mo chlannsa gach am dá traochadh
    Le seal dá gceasadh le taxes í
    But if will join me, we will release them
    And set Milesians for ever free.
    Tá fleet láidir Franncaig ag teach fé árd-bhrat
    Anall thar sáile le cabhair Óglaíg
    With Catholic Boys we'll without alarm
    Break the cursed laws of old tyranny.
