|
|
Nach deas an baile an baile seo
|
Isn't this a lovely town?
|
|
Nach deas an baile é Maoras
|
Isn't Maoras a lovely town?
|
|
Nach deas an baile chuile baile
|
Isn't every town a lovely town?
|
|
Ach Claidhneach glas na bhfaochain
|
And grassy Clynagh of the periwinkle
|
|
|
|
|
Curfá
:
|
Chorus
:
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, beir orm
|
Fair John, catch me
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, bréag mé
|
Fair John, tease me
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, beir orm
|
Fair John, catch me
|
|
Is tabhair sa gcoca féir mé
|
Take me to the haystack
|
|
|
|
|
A Mháire, má tá tú ag scarúint uaim
|
Mary, if you must part from me
|
|
Mo mhíle slán go deo leat
|
My fond farewell forever
|
|
Nach deas mar chuirfinn fataí dhuit
|
How well I'd sow potatoes for you
|
|
Níos fearr ná bhainfinn móin dhuit
|
Even better than I'd cut the turf for you
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Is cuma liom cá rachaidh tú
|
I care not where you go
|
|
Is cuma liom cá mbíonn tú
|
I care not where you usually are
|
|
Is cuma liom cá rachaidh tú
|
I care not where you go
|
|
Ach thú beith ann san oíche
|
But to be beside me at night
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, beir orm
|
Fair-haired Sean, catch me
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, bréag mé
|
Fair-haired Sean, lie to me
|
|
A Sheáin Bháin, beir orm
|
Fair-haired Sean, catch me
|
|
Nár phóg tú aréir mé
|
Didn't you kiss me last night?
|
