Lyrics
Rinne mé smaointiú i m’intinn
Is lean mé dó go cinnte
Go n-éalóinn ó mo mhuintir
Anonn chun 'Oileáin Úir
Tá mé ag déanamh impí
Ar an Ard-Rí 'tá 's mo chionn-sa
Mo choinneáil ó gach tubaiste
Go gcríochnóinn mo shiúl
Shiúil mé fiche míle
'S níor casadh orm Críostaí
Capall, bó nó caora ag déanamh
Inghilt ar an fhéar
Coillte dlúth' is gleanntáin
Agus búirtheach beithigh allta
Fir is mná gan tant orthu
A chasfá fá do mhéar
Tharla isteach i dteach mé
Is casadh orm daoine
D’fhiafraigh siad mo ainmse
Cén tír inar tógadh mé
Dúirt mé leo i mBéarla
Gur tógadh mé in Éirinn
Láimh le Loch Eirne
I gCoillidh Lios na Raoch
Bhí seanbhean insan chlúdaigh
Is stocaí ar a glúiní
D'éirigh sí go lúcháireach
Agus chraith sí liomsa lámh
«Sheacht mh’anam, fear mo thíre
Thar a bhfaca mé ariamh de dhaoine
Nár tógadh mise in Éirinn
I mBaile Lios Béal Áinetha»
Rinne mé smaointiú i m’intinn
Is lean mé dó go cinnte
Go bpillfinn ar ais go hÉirinn
An áit a sínfí mé faoin chlár
Mar a bhfaighfinn lucht mo chaointe
Is an t-aos óg atá lách aoibhinn
A chaithfeadh liomsa an oíche
Agus páirt mhór den lá
Lyrics translation
I did smaointiú in my mind
As I followed him for sure
That éalóinn from my people
Back to Islands of Fresh
I'm doing an appeal
The High-King 'is 's my over-in
My keep from every disaster
That gcríochnóinn my away
I walked twenty miles
'S not turning me Christian
A horse, a cow or a sheep doing
Inghilt on the grass
Woods compact' is up to
And búirtheach wild beasts
Men and women without tant to them
To chasfá under your finger
Happened into the house I
It turns me people
They ask my name
What country were I was raised
I told them in English
That I was raised in Ireland
Hand Lake west end girls
Texts Lios na Raoch
There was an old woman (religious) cover
Most socks on a glúiní
She managed to joyfully
And shook she me hand
"Seven mh'soul, man my country
Over the I never ever saw of people
Not built yours in Ireland
In the town of Lismore, Mouth Áinetha»
I did smaointiú in my mind
As I followed him for sure
That bpillfinn back to ireland
The place to be extended I under the program
As bhfaighfinn a my keen
Most of the young people are jolly delightful
Was me the night
And a major part of the day
