Clannad - Neansai Mhile Gra lyrics

Your rating:


A Neansaí, 'mhíle grá, a bhruinneall 'tá gan smál



Go bhfeice mise'n t-ádh 'gus an séan ort



Ba ghile do dhá láimh ná cúr geal na trá



Ná'n eala 's í a' snámh ar an Éirne



Is glaise liom do shúil ná braon beag den drúcht



Is binne liomsa tú ná na téadaí



'S mur' n-éalaí tusa liomsa titfidh mé i lionndubh



'Gus cuirfear insa chill 'do dhéidh mé







Is iomaí sin guth mná a chluinimse 'ngach aird



Abhus agus taobh thall den Éirne



Go Corcaigh na gCuan 's go Béal Ath' na Sluaigh



'Sí Neansaí 'thug bua ar a' méid sin



A Mhuire 'gus a Dhia, nárbh aoibhinn deas é'r saol



Dá mbeinnse agus í le chéile?



Tráthnóna aoibhinn ciúin, ó mise 'gus mo rún



Ag cogarnaíl ar uaigneas sléibhe







Beir litir uaimse suas chuig Neansaí chaoin na gcuach



Is aithris di gur buartha atá mé



Aithris di arís nach gcodlaím féin aon oíche



Le harraing atá trí mo thaobh deas



Aithris é dá súil, aithris é dá cúl



Aithris é dá méin mhaith chéillí



Aithris é dá ceann 's dá béilín atá binn



Gur ghiorraigh sí 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
