Na Buachailli Alainn
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.
Mo bheannacht le na buachaillí a dimigh uain thar sáile,
Ach dfág siad culaith dheas orm le dhul amach De Domhnaigh,
Cóta mór go talamh agus bheiste den tsíoda láidir,
Bríste bhí san fhaisean agus bróga de'n leathar Spainneach.
Curfa
Oró na buachaillí, na buachaillí bhí álainn,
Oró na buachaillí, na buachaillí bhí álainn.
Nuair a tchímsa an fharraige garbh ó sé mo chroí bíos cráite,
Ag saoineadh ar na buachaillí mar bhíonn siad ins na bádaí,
Ach guím-sa Rí na nAingeal sé shorcúios na pláinéid,
'S go dtuga sé slán na buachaillí ar chontúirt a bheith báite.
Curfa
Fuair mé litir as Albain 's ní raibh sé in mo shásamh,
Gur pósadh na buachaillí ar chailíní na h-áite,
Ach ní nár mhaith linn acu iad dá mbeadh siad inar sásamh,
Ach cailíní na n-oiléan 's iad an dream a bhfearr linn.
