Buachaill an Eirne — текст песни (Clannad)

Buachaill o/n e/ireann me/s bhe/as faoi fe/in caili/n deas o/g,

Ni/ iarr fain bo/ spre/ le/ithe ta/ me/ fe/in saibhir go leor,

s liom corcaigh a/ mhe/id e/ dha/ thaobh a ghleanna s tir roghain,

s mur na thiai/ me/ n t-oidhr ar chonthae mhaigeo.



Buachaileacht bo/, mo leo, nar chleacht mise ariamh,

Ach ag imirt s ag ol le ho/gmhna/ deasa fa/ shliabh,

Ma/ chaill me/ mo sto/r ni/ do/ gur chaill me/ mo chiall,

As ni/ mo/ liom do pho/g na/ n bhro/g ata/ n caitheamh le bliain.



A chuisle s a sto/r na/ po/s an sean duine liath,

Ach po/s a fein o/g, mo leo, muir maine se/ ach bliain,

No/ beidh tu/ go fo/oill gan o/ no/ mac os da chionn,

A shilleadh an deor tra/thno/na no/ n maidin go trom.





Translation

I am a boy from ireland and Id coax a nice young girl,

I wouldnt ask for a dowry with her, Im rich enough myself,

I own cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and tyrone,

And if I dont change my ways Ill be the heir for county mayo.



Cow herding, my leo, I did not never practice,

But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.

If I lost my wealth and I dont think I lost my sense,

And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.



My love and treasure, dont marry the old grey man,

But marry a young man, my leo, even though he lives but a year,

Or youll still be without a daughter or son above you,

Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
