آهنگ: Clannad. Neansai Mhile Gra.

A NeansaA­, 'mhA­le grA?, a bhruinneall 'tA? gan smA?l

Go bhfeice mise'n t-A?dh 'gus an sA©an ort

Ba ghile do dhA? lA?imh nA? cA?r geal na trA?

NA?'n eala 's A­ a' snA?mh ar an A?irne

Is glaise liom do shA?il nA? braon beag den drA?cht

Is binne liomsa tA? nA? na tA©adaA­

'S mur' n-A©alaA­ tusa liomsa titfidh mA© i lionndubh

'Gus cuirfear insa chill 'do dhA©idh mA©



Is iomaA­ sin guth mnA? a chluinimse 'ngach aird

Abhus agus taobh thall den A?irne

Go Corcaigh na gCuan 's go BA©al Ath' na Sluaigh

'SA­ NeansaA­ 'thug bua ar a' mA©id sin

A Mhuire 'gus a Dhia, nA?rbh aoibhinn deas A©'r saol

DA? mbeinnse agus A­ le chA©ile?

TrA?thnA?na aoibhinn ciA?in, A? mise 'gus mo rA?n

Ag cogarnaA­l ar uaigneas slA©ibhe



Beir litir uaimse suas chuig NeansaA­ chaoin na gcuach

Is aithris di gur buartha atA? mA©

Aithris di arA­s nach gcodlaA­m fA©in aon oA­che

Le harraing atA? trA­ mo thaobh deas

Aithris A© dA? sA?il, aithris A© dA? cA?l

Aithris A© dA? mA©in mhaith chA©illA­

Aithris A© dA? ceann 's dA? bA©ilA­n atA? binn

Gur ghiorraigh sA­ 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 shore'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
