|
|
Tá scéilín nua 'gam le h-insint dóibhse
|
I have a new story to tell you
|
|
Cúrsaí spóirt agus comhrá dí
|
It's good crack and chat over drink
|
|
Úll breá gleoite do chuireas i mo phóca
|
A fine lovely apple I put in my pocket
|
|
'S ni bhfuaras romham ach prátín síl
|
And all I found was a seed potato
|
|
|
|
|
Curfá

Chorus
:
|
|
Ó mo thuirse mar shileann mo shúile
|
Oh sadly my eyes cry
|
|
Indiadh an úll ud a bhí breá buí
|
After that fine yellow apple
|
|
An óig-bhean uasal bhí t'reis é thabhairt domh
|
And the lovely young woman who gave it to me
|
|
'S do thabhairfinn púnt ar é bhlaiseadh arís
|
And I'd give a pound to taste it again
|
|
|
|
|
Do shiúlais Cléire agus Carraig Aonair
|
I walked Clare Island and Carrig Aonor
|
|
Cuanta Béara bhí romham sa tslí
|
The bays of Béara Island were before me on the way
|
|
Puinte na nGréige 'gus na nDorsaí Maola
|
Puinte na nGréige and Dorsaí Maola
|
|
An fhiach 's an lao taobh amuigh de Bhaoi
|
The raven and the calf outside of Baoi
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Do shiúlais Cualach mar a bhíos buartha
|
I walked through Cualach because I was sad
|
|
An pharoiste thuaidh a 's na hAdhraí
|
The northern parish and Eyeries
|
|
San oileán Muarseadh d'inis dom buachaill
|
On the Island of Muarseadh a young man told me
|
|
Nach bhfáilghinn a thuairisc go dtéinn thar snaidhm
|
That I wouldn't get word of her until I'd tie the knot
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
So shiúlios Coíbh agus Baile na Móna
|
I walked through Cobh and Baile na Mona
|
|
Cathair Tún Tóime 'gus Inis Seircín
|
Cathar Tún Tóime and Sherkin Is
|
|
Soir ar a chósta sea d'inis domh stróinse
|
On the east coast someone told me
|
|
Go rabh sé 'na sheo acu ar Sráid Néidin
|
That it was the laughing stock of Néidín
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá 3x)
|
(Chorus 3x)
|
