Lyrics to Buachaill ón Éirne
Buachaill ón Éirne Video:
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 bád gan gráinnín brach' ar bith liom

Ach duilliúr na gcraobh mar éadaigh 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 ól le h'ógmhná deasa an tsliabh

Má chaill mé mo stór ní moide 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 mountain side

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
