Nolwenn Leroy "Mná na hÉireann" lyrics

Translation to:enesfr

Mná na hÉireann

Tá bean in Éirinn a phronnfadh séad domh is mo sháith le n-ólIs tá bean in Éirinn is ba bhinne léithe mo ráfla ceoilNá seinm théad; atá bean in Éirinn is níorbh fhearr léi beoMise ag léimnigh nó leagtha i gcré is mo thárr faoi fhód

Tá bean in Éirinn a bheadh ag éad liom mur' bhfaighfinn ach pógÓ bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala, is mo dháimh féin leo;Tá bean ab fhearr liom nó cath is céad dhíobh nach bhfagham go deoIs tá cailín spéiriúil ag fear gan Bhéarla, dubhghránna cróin.

Tá bean a déarfadh dá siulfainn léi go bhfaighinn an t-ór,Is tá bean 'na léine is is fearr a méin ná na táinte bóLe bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clár Thír Eoghain,Is ní fheicim leigheas ar mo ghalar féin ach scaird a dh'ól

The women of Ireland

There's a woman in Ireland who'd give me a gem and my fill to drink,There's a woman in Ireland to whom my singing is sweeter than the music of stringsThere's a woman in Ireland who would much prefer me leapingThan laid in the clay and my belly under the sod

There's a woman in Ireland who'd envy me if I got naught but a kissFrom a woman at a fair, isn't it strange, and the love I have for themThere's a woman I'd prefer to a battalion, and a hundred of them whom I will never getAnd an ugly, swarthy man with no English has a beautiful girl

There's a woman who would say that if I walked with her I'd get the goldAnd there's the woman of the shirt whose mien is better than herds of cowsWith a woman who would deafen baile an mhaoir and the plain of tyroneAnd I see no cure for my disease but to give up the drink
