Clannad - Buachaill Ón Éirne

Clannad - Buachaill Ón Éirne (Boy from the Erne) Lyrics Buachaill ón Éirne mé is bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg. Ní iarrfainn bó spré léi, tá mé féin saibhir go leor Is liom Corcaigh dá mhéid é, dhá thaobh an ghleanna, is Tír Eoghain, Is mura n-athra' mé béasaí, is mé an t-oidhre ar chontae Mhuigheo. Buachailleacht bó, mo leo, nár chleacht mise riamh ach ag imirt is ag ól le hógmhná deasa fá shliabh. Má chaill mé mo stór ní dóigh gur chaill mé mo chiall Is ní mó liom do phóg ná an bhróg atá ar caitheamh le bliain. A chuisle 's a stór Ná pós an seanduine liath Ach pós an fear óg, mo Leo Mura mairfidh sé ach bliain Nó beidh tú go fóill Gan ó nó mac os da chionn A shilleadh an deor tráthnóna Nó ar maidin go trom Translation: I am a boy from the Erne and I'd coax a nice young girl, I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself, I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone, And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo. Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice, But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain. If I lost my wealth and I don't think I lost my sense, And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year. My love and treasure, don't marry the old grey man, But marry the young man, my Leo, even though he lives but a year, Or you'll still be without a daughter or son above you, Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard
