Crucan Na Bpaiste
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 briste mo chroí, is uaigneach mo shlí
Is mo stóirín in a luí is mé cráite;
'S é deireadh mo shaol, is mo chailín beag rua
Sínte i gCrucán na bPáiste
Ni fheicfidh sí arís an drúcht ar an bhféar
Nó an sneachta i ngleannta Mhaamtrasna
Gan ghrian ar a h-aghaidh, gan ceol binn na n-éan
Ach an chré fuar i gCrucán na bPáiste
In ainm an Athair is in ainm an Mhic
Is a Mháithrín atá lán de ghrásta;
In ainm an Spioraid Naomh ná fág me beo
Is mo mháinlín i gCrucán bPáiste
Is buartha na sléibhte, is tá mairg ar an Mask
Is olc mise gan i bheith sábháilte;
Is an fhad a bhéas mé beo ní sheasfaidh mé ar fhód
Na hÉireann nó i gCrucán na bPáiste.
In ainm an Athair is in ainm an Mhic
Is a Mháithrín atá lán de ghrásta;
In ainm an Spioraid Naomh ná fág me beo
Is mo mháinlín i gCrucán bPáiste
