  1. Amhrán - Seóirse Brogier Creagh

    Share Share Post
    A popular song still living in the neighbourhood commemorates Seóirse Bragúr, Creagh. Little seems to be known of this individual save what is mentioned in the song.
    The following is the song.
    Fórnocht.

    Mo slán - sa cuirim chum Fornocht
    Sé baile beag an tséin
    Mar is ann do tógadh go h-óg mé
    Gan uireasba puinn ‘sa tsaoghal
    Go dtáinig chughainn le fórsa
    Seóirse Braesar Créagh.
    Is do ruagair sé na comhursain.
    Dobh fhearr do shiubhladh féar.

    Dá inaireadh mo dhearbhráthair Domhnall
    Do bheadh séo inalart scéil
    Mar dá inbeadh a sheilbh tógtha
    Do gheobhfaidís gráin is piléar.
    Tá a thigh anois go h-uaigneach
    Is é féin ag tabhairt an fhéir
    A chairde Gaoil dá ruagairt
    Agus iad i bhfad i gcéin.
