Old Songs and Stories
“Ná ragad-sa bás go brát ¶ Nár fáighimíd an t-sarghal so”
Ná ragad-sa bás go brát
Nár fháighimíd an t-saoghal so
Nó go bhfeichimíd na Sasanaigh ag treasgairt a chéile
Bróga fluiche slacha mar a bhí ag seana Gaedhile
Rann ar a gualann is iad ag tuilleamh na raolach
CurfáFáigimíd an crúisgín sláinte geal mo mhúirnín
Is cuma liom mo cuilín dubh nó bán
(II)If I were dying to morrow I would leave it as a reason
To bring me into a public house and leave me on the table
Where I'd hear the quarts and the noggins and they draining
I'd think it more melodious than the cuckoo and she speaking
Agus is cuma liom a cúilín dubh nó bán
SONGI'll dye my petticoat, I'll dye it red
Around the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents would wish me dead
Is go dtugaidh mo mhúirnín slán.
Siubhal, siubhal, siubhal a grádh
Siubhal go siocair agus siubhal go ciúin
Siubhal go dtí an doras agus éilig liom
Is go dtugaidh mo mhúirnín slán.
(II)I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel(continues on next page)
