Lyrics
An Mhaighdean Mhara
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thréig tú an greann
Tá an sneachta go freasach fá bhéal na mbeann'
Do chúl buí daite is do bhéilín sámh
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh
A mháithrín mhilis duirt Máire Bhán
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhéal na trá
Maighdean mhara mo mhaithrín ard
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh
Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh go lá
Mo Mháire bhroinngheal 's mo Phádraig bán
Ar bharr na dtonna 's fá bhéal na trá
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh
