Buachaill On Eirne Songtext

von The Corrs

Buachaill ón Éirne mé
'S bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg
Ní iarrfainn bó spré léi
Tá mé fhéin saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mhéid é, dhá thaobh
A' ghleanna 's Tír Eoghain
'S mura n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oidhr'
Ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo

Rachaidh mé 'márach
Ag dhéanamh leanna fán choill
Gan choite gan gráinnín brach' ar bith liom
Ach duilliúr na gcraobh
Mar éideadh leapa os mo chionn
'S óró sheacht m'anam déag thú
'S tú 'féachaint orm anall

Buachailleacht bó, mo leo,
Nár chleacht mise ariamh
Ach ag imirt 's ag 'ol
Le hógmhná deasa an tsliabh
Má chaill mé mo stór ní móide
Gur chaill mé mo chiall
A's ní mó liom do phóg ná'n bhróg
Atáim ag caitheamh le bliain

(Translation)

I'm a boy from Ireland
And I could charm a nice young girl
I would not ask for her wealth
As I am rich enough myself
I own a good part of Cork,
Two sides of the glen in Tyrone
And not to repeat myself
I'm the heir of County Mayo

I will go tomorrow
To make ale in the wood
Without a cot, without a boat
Without a pinch of gruel with me
But leaves of the branches
As bedclothes over my head
And think well done for you
As you watch me from over there

A cowherd, my pet
I've never been accustomed to be
Instead of playing and drinking
With the nice young women on the mountainside
If I lost my riches
I probably didn't lose my senses
And your kiss is no more to me now
Than a shoe worn for a year
