  2. The Seoinín's Proposal

    Share Share Post
    Ó Sé dó bheatha chugainn a Sheagháin
    Thank you; thank you Master(?)
    Sé Máire m'ainm-sé a Sheagáin
    And mine is John you fairy
    Nach labhrann tú an Gaédilg binn
    I did when I was young dear
    'Gus cén fáth gur tréigis í
    'Twas blistering my tongue dear
    Och ! an Seóinín.
    Tá gráin agam ar Seóinín
    Ar ór an t-Saoghal ní pósfainn choidhche
    Aon Geodach fir na Seoínín
