Amhrán
“Lá dá rabhasa i ngleann im aonar”
Lá dá rabhasa i ngleann im aonar
Ag fiadhach go haerach is mo choin le'm thaoibh
I espied a damsel with handsome features
And she dressed so neatly in her mantle greenBhí sgáil na leacain mar dath an róis ghil
Is ba binne a glór na ceolta sidhe
Her love and friendship pierced through my nature
And I'd wish her daily to live with me.Do ritheas na coinnibh is mo chlaidheamh im dhóid dheas
Is diarras ar an óigbhean gabhail liom mar mnaoi
She answered kindly, sir, do not tease me
For I'm intoxicated by Luther's breed.Is tá mo chlannsa gach am dá traochadh
Le seal dá gceasadh le taxes í
But if will join me, we will release them
And set Milesians for ever free.Tá fleet láidir Franncaig ag teach fé árd-bhrat
Anall thar sáile le cabhair Óglaíg
With Catholic Boys we'll without alarm
Break the cursed laws of old tyranny.- Informant
