From the album "Common Ground - Voices of modern Irish music"


Ta bean in Eirinn a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol

Is ta bean in Eireann is ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil

No seinm thead; ata bean in Eirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo

Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod 


Ta bean in Eirinn a bheadh ag ead liom mur bhfaighfinn ach pog

O/ bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo;

Ta bean ab fhearr liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo

Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghranna croin. 


Ta bean a dearfadh da siulann leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or,

Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo

Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clar Thir Eoghain,

Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol.
