  1. Siúil a Ghrá

    Share Share Post
    I'll sell my rack and I'll sell my reel,
    When the flax is out I'll sell my wheel,
    I'll buy my love a sword and shield,
    'Gus go bhfillfidh tú, go bhfillfidh tú slán.
    Siubhail, Siubhail, siubhail a ghrádh,
    Siubhail go socair agus siubhail go tráth,
    Since the lad of my heart from me did go,
    Gus go bhfillfidh tú, go bhfillfidh tú slán.

    (I)
    Nuair a raghadhsa tigh a' tábhairne
    Ólfaidh mé do dhóíthin
    Banann mo bhean mé agus deineann sí seo dhíom
    Don diabhal a chuirfead í is ní leanfad niosa a mhó í
    Agus beadh bean eile agam gach baile beag do geobhadh mé
    'gus geobham arís an crúiscín a's bíodh sé lán.

    (II)
    Díólfad-sa mo hata mo chosóg (chasóg) is mo léine
    Is beidh mé ar sheoladh ar chóstaíbh na h-Éireann
    Níl aon tigh tabhairne ná caráiste cómhail (?) le h-Éirinn
    As ólfaidh mé ..................
    'gus geobam arís srl.
