    “Tá mo croide comh dubh le h-airne.”

    Share Share Post
    Tá mo croide comh dubh le h-áirne
    Nó le gual a buailfí i gceardcain
    No le bonn broige ar fhallaí bána
    In diaidh mo grádh geal do slad thar bharr mé
    A ógánaig óig b'fearra duit mise agat
    Ná bean uasal uaibhreach iomarcach
    Crúdhfainn bó duit agus déanfainn cuigeann duit
    Á mba cruaidh ort buailfinn buille leat
    Óchón mo chroidhe is mo chroidhe le leointe
    Gan aon oidhche romham agus mé posta leat
    Ní'l im pósta is ní bead go deo
    For I choose to go with my own sweetheart.
    In Kilkenny town we'll have wine and porter.
    For the marble stone is as black as ink
    With gold and silver I'll support you
    And I'll sing no more till I get a drink
