    “Ag gabháil amach cos Gaillimh liom...”

    Share Share Post
    Ag gabháil amach cos Gaillimh liom
    Agus mé míle mach ón gClár
    'Sé a casadh dom-sa cailín deas agus uslin is léasa lán
    Maise a' tusa bean on t sean-dhuine
    Is mé deir sé mo chreach is mo chrádh
    Agus dá mbheadh sé blian sa leabaidh liom
    Ní bionntochadh sé liom anall
    Maise brón ar mo mhuinntir
    A phós mé go h-óg
    Pós mé leis an sean dhuine
    Mar gheall ar cúpla bó
    Tá aghaidh ar a' m balla
    Agus a phíopa ag seinm cheól
    Agus a dhá shúile dheaga
    Agus iad ag silt go leór
    Cloisfidh tú agus feicfidh tú
    Agus Abrochaidh tú go fóill
    Dá mhéid maon an t sean duine
    gur feárr an buacaill óg.
    I would rather have a young man now
    Without a penny at all
    What would turn me in his arms
    and turn me from the wall.
