Amhrán (continued)
“Is a tuirseach geár mo scéal faraoir!”
(continued from previous page)6
Is banamhail séimh tais maordha a h-íoghair
Is geanamhail caomhna a scéimh s a fioghar
Tá fairsinge féile's daonacht thríd
Le h-amharc an bhé pén Éirinn í.A mild and decent graceful mien
A beauteous face with gaeity seen
A liberal way to create relief
Adorned this dame who e'er she be
7
Is féach Orphéus thug saor aníos.
A h-ifreann fé sin mar léightear linn
Le binneas a mhéar, an réalthan chaoin
Ní sheasfad lem bhé pén Éirinn í.Its true orpheus who hath redeemed
From Pluto's dreary regions free
By lyric strain, his fairy queen
Would join my dame who e'er she be
