clannad - neansai mhile gra lyrics
a neansaã, ‘mhãle grã¡, a bhruinneall ‘tã¡ gan smã¡l
go bhfeice mise’n t-ã¡dh ‘gus an sã©an ort
ba ghile do dhã¡ lã¡imh nã¡ cãºr geal na trã¡
nã¡’n eala ‘s ã a’ snã¡mh ar an ã‰irne
is glaise liom do shãºil nã¡ braon beag den drãºcht
is binne liomsa t㺠nã¡ na tã©adaã
‘s mur’ n-ã©alaã tusa liomsa t-tfidh mã© i lionndubh
‘gus cuirfear insa chill ‘do dhã©idh mã©
is iomaã sin guth mnã¡ a chluinimse ‘ngach aird
abhus agus taobh thall den ã‰irne
go corcaigh na gcuan ‘s go bã©al ath’ na sluaigh
‘sã neansaã ‘thug bua ar a’ mã©id sin
a mhuire ‘gus a dhia, nã¡rbh aoibhinn deas ã©’r saol
dã¡ mbeinnse agus ã le chã©ile?
trã¡thnã³na aoibhinn ciãºin, ã³ mise ‘gus mo rãºn
ag cogarnaãl ar uaigneas slã©ibhe
beir litir uaimse suas chuig neansaã chaoin na gcuach
is aithris di gur buartha atã¡ mã©
aithris di arãs nach gcodlaãm fã©in aon oãche
le harraing atã¡ trã mo thaobh deas
aithris ã© dã¡ sãºil, aithris ã© dã¡ cãºl
aithris ã© dã¡ mã©in mhaith chã©illã
aithris ã© dã¡ ceann ‘s dã¡ bã©ilãn atã¡ binn
gur ghiorraigh sã go cinnte mo laetha’
translation
rise up, ye stalwart men
and put the pitch alight on your torch sticks
vanquish those who would do us evil
and establish the rule of france
and oh woman of the house, what ails you?
oh woman of the house, in two years or three
from this year out the land will be rent free
and oh woman of the house, what ails you?
here’s a jug on the table and the beer’s coming
and the duke of york has sufficient arms
the french and the spaniards at the sh-r-‘s edge
and how bitter that is than woman’s chatter
alas and alack when i was young
two years old and no evil thought in my mind
that i didn’t join the king’s navy or army
instead of spending my life looking after you
may my back be broken under this weight
if i ever come back to bring you sorrow
and so many women from here to the blackwater river
that would go along the road with me and have a drink
