Meav – Newry Boat-song lyrics
Album: Silver Sea
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn
Gur tù mo chuilean runach
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn
San a'raoir nach d'fhuair mi'n cadal
Bha mì fad 'nam dùsgadh
Smaointin air an fhear a thrèig mi
'S nach d'rinn feum dha chumhtan
He's gone, he's gone, my lover's gone
And left me broken hearted
Chuala mi gun d'rinn thù Dhomhnaill
Posadh ann an Niubhraidh
Domhnall Donn the people say
You've married down in Newry
B'fhearr leam fhin a bheith riut posda
Na cuid ór a Phrionnsa
I would rather have you, Donall
Than the gold of princes
Och nam och mar tha mi nochd
Trom osnaidh 's mi gad iondrainn
