Cherish The Ladies - Is Fada Liom Uaimí Uaimí (I Long For Her)

Lyrics :	English Translation :

Ar meisce cha dteím níos mó	Drunkeness for life I forego
Braon leanna go deo ní bhlaisfidh mé	Strong ale I will taste never more
Chiall mé mo cailín beag óg	I lost my pretty young maid
A chuirfeadh im phocái n t-aírgead	Who would plenish my pockets with riches

Curfá :	Chorus (after each verse) :
Fada liom uaimí uaimí	I long for her from me, from me
Fada liom uaimí o dimigh sí	I long for her from me since leaving me
Fada liom thiós agus thuas í	I long for her above and below me
Mailí na nguach ní chuileannáin	The curly-haired Molly Nee Chull-in-an

Dhéanfaidh mé toigh ar an ard	I'll build a house on the hill
S'beidh ceithre ba bána breác agam	And four speckled cows I'll own
Cha ligim an duine dá gcomhair	I'll allow no other person near them
Ach Mailí gheal bhán ni chuileannáin	But the lovely fair Molly Nee Chull-in-an

Dá mbeinnse í n dochar a bháis	If I were in the last throes of death
Gus daoine a rá nach dtiocfainn as	And people could see no recovery
Cha déanfainn me thiomna go brách	I'd never dictate my last will
Go dtíocfadh Mál bhán ni chuileannáin	'Til the arrival of fair Molly Nee Chull-in-an

Bhí mise lá ara a choill	I happened one day in the woods
Is tharla dom soilse bhradoíge	And I met a charming young maiden
O dheánfadh si mara bhán beo	She'd make the sea come alive
No buachaill beag óg den seanduine	And a lovely young man of an old fellow

(Curfá 2x)	(Chorus 2x)
