Bruach Na Carraige Báine | Liricí Amhrán

Irish	English
Is thiar cois abhainn gan bhréag gan dabht	And west by the river, without a doubt or lie
Tá an ainnir chiúin tais mhánla	There is a quiet gentle beauty
Is gur ghile a cam ná an eala ar an dtonn	And her waist is as bright as any swan on the wave
Ó bhaitheas go bonn a bróige	From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet
'Sí an stáidbhean í a chráigh mo chroí	She is the woman that tormented my heart
Is d'fhág sí i m'intinn brónach	And left me heartbroken
Is leigheas le fáil níl agam go brách	There is nothing that will cure me
Ó dhiúltaigh mo ghrá gheal domsa	Since my true love rejected me

Ó b'fhearr liom fhéin ná Éire mhóir	I would prefer, than all of Ireland
Ná saibhres Rí na Spáinne	Or the wealth of the king of Spain
Go mbéinnse 'gus tusa i lúb na finne	That you and I could be together in a quiet spot
I gcoilltibh i bhfad ón ár gcáirde	In a wood far from our friends
Ó mise 'gus tusa bheith pósta a ghrá	Oh you and I to be married, my love
Le haontoil athar is máthair	With the permission of father and mother
A mhaighdean óig is milse póg	Oh young maiden of the sweet kisses
Tú grian na Carraige Báine	You're the sun of the White Rocks

'S a stuaire an chinn cailce, más dual dom go mbeir agam	Oh beauty of the white hair, if you would be mine
Beidh cóir ort a thaithneodh led' cháirde	You would have everything your friends would like
Idir shíoda 'gus hata ó bhonn go bathas	From silk to hats, from head to toe
'S gach ní sa chathair dá bhfeabhas	And the best of everything in the city
Beidh do bhólacht á gcasadh gach neoin chun baile	Your cows would be driven every noon to the town
Is ceol binn ag beacha ar bhánta	And the bees in the meadow would sing sweetly for you
Beidh ól ar do ghlacadh is cóiste id' tharraingt	You would have your fill of drink and have coaches to take you
Go bruach na Carraige Báine	All around the edge of the White Rocks

Is thiar cois abhainn gan bhréag gan dabht

And west by the river, without a doubt or lie

Tá an ainnir chiúin tais mhánla

There is a quiet gentle beauty

Is gur ghile a cam ná an eala ar an dtonn

And her waist is as bright as any swan on the wave

Ó bhaitheas go bonn a bróige

From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet

'Sí an stáidbhean í a chráigh mo chroí

She is the woman that tormented my heart

Is d'fhág sí i m'intinn brónach

And left me heartbroken

Is leigheas le fáil níl agam go brách

There is nothing that will cure me

Ó dhiúltaigh mo ghrá gheal domsa

Since my true love rejected me

Ó b'fhearr liom fhéin ná Éire mhóir

I would prefer, than all of Ireland

Ná saibhres Rí na Spáinne

Or the wealth of the king of Spain

Go mbéinnse 'gus tusa i lúb na finne

That you and I could be together in a quiet spot

I gcoilltibh i bhfad ón ár gcáirde

In a wood far from our friends

Ó mise 'gus tusa bheith pósta a ghrá

Oh you and I to be married, my love

Le haontoil athar is máthair

With the permission of father and mother

A mhaighdean óig is milse póg

Oh young maiden of the sweet kisses

Tú grian na Carraige Báine

You're the sun of the White Rocks

'S a stuaire an chinn cailce, más dual dom go mbeir agam

Oh beauty of the white hair, if you would be mine

Beidh cóir ort a thaithneodh led' cháirde

You would have everything your friends would like

Idir shíoda 'gus hata ó bhonn go bathas

From silk to hats, from head to toe

'S gach ní sa chathair dá bhfeabhas

And the best of everything in the city

Beidh do bhólacht á gcasadh gach neoin chun baile

Your cows would be driven every noon to the town

Is ceol binn ag beacha ar bhánta

And the bees in the meadow would sing sweetly for you

Beidh ól ar do ghlacadh is cóiste id' tharraingt

You would have your fill of drink and have coaches to take you

Go bruach na Carraige Báine

All around the edge of the White Rocks
