Liricí Amhrán – Song Lyrics

Máire Bhruinneal

Traditional

As recorded by Norland Wind on From Shore To Shore

Irish English
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne Oh Maire Bruinneal, flower of the Finn
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall I followed you here and there
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
   
Curfá: Chorus:
A mhéid é mo thuirse níor lear domh a choinneal I am so grieved I couldn't keep her
Deir siad gur mise a mheallas na mná They said I was one who deceives women
Mharaigh tú go deo mé, lagaigh tú go mór mé You have killed me forever, you have greatly weakened me
'Gus gach a bhfuil beo domh bhris tú mo chroí And all that's alive to me, you broke my heart
   
Bhí a trí-point óir leí síos go triogh Her golden trident with her down a foot
Agus í a gcarrnú ar gach taobh And them being piled on each side
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
   
Curfá 2x Chorus 2x
   
Bí mé lá go ceolmar in sa ród One day I was musically in the road
Tarlaigh domhsa 'n óig bhean chiúin I met the quiet young woman
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
   
Curfá Chorus
   
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne Oh Maire Bruinneal, flower of the Finn
(4x) (4x)
   
Curfá Chorus
   
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne Oh Maire Bruinneal, flower of the Finn
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall I followed you here and there
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
