Lyrics
Lore
Seanchas
An Seanchas gearr, an Seanchas is fearr
An scéal is giorra is milse i mbéal
An chnid is lúan chnid is fearr
Focal nódhómáthaithníonn lig dó
Fol la 'Lore'
Fol la lae
Fol déda dúril la Fol dédaíé
Scéal gearr greanmhar náscéal fada fann
Droch-scéal fada nóscéal maith lán
Scéal deas goirid an scéalin is fearr
An iomarca te rá, nádéan port de Chomh domhain teis an fharraige,
Dubh te gual
Chomh bodhar te bata
Chomh dubh teis a sméar
Chomh gasta te giorrafhia
Chomh bocht teis an deor
Lyrics translation
Lore
Lore
The Lore short, the Lore is the best
The story is shorter is sweeter in the mouth
The chnid is lúan chnid best
Word nódhómáthaithníonn let him
Fol la 'Lore'
Fol la day
Fol déda dúril la Fol dédaíé
Short story greanmhar náscéal long feeble
Bad-long story nóscéal good lot
Nice story goirid the scéalin best
Too hot say, nádéan port of As deep teis the sea,
Black hot coal
As deaf hot stick
As black teis berry
As fast hot giorrafhia
As poor teis the tears
