Paroles et traduction Iarla Ó Lionáird - Eleanor Plunkett

Eleanor Plunkett

A Neilí an chúil chraobhaigh
Bhfuil do dhá shúil ar dhath
An fhéir ghlais
′S tú a' féachaint gach lá
Ar na bréag bhfuil mé a′ rá
Tú ghoil na bhfear
O Ard Mhacha bréige
Fuair clú mhór ó Ghaolaibh
Le tréana do lámh
Gidh nach maireann ins an tír
Ach tú do'd chlann
A cheannsacht is a tsló
Ní cuma liom cad deir led
Bhéilín mar an rós
Ach cead suí led' thaobh
Chun go mbeinn ′s tú ag ól
Ach a cheannsacht chiuin chéilidh
Más léir leatsa ′n spórt
Ó ní bheidh tú gan ceol
Dá gcloisfinn uait scéala
Ghluaisfinn do 'd fhéachaint
A phéirlin an chúil bhreá
Le d′ ghruadh ar dhath na gcaortha
Ós tú a fuair an bua
Thar na céadaibh de mhnaibh

Eleanor Plunkett

Oh Eleanor of the curly locks
Your two eyes are the color
Of the green grass
And you look at me every day
At the lies I tell
You deceiver of men
From Armagh of the liars
Your great fame was made by the Gaels
Through the strength of your hand
Although not all is well in the country
Except for you and your kin
And their leadership and their army
I don't care what they say of you
Your little mouth like a rose
But let me sit by your side
And get drunk with you
But my quiet leader
If you can appreciate the joke
Oh you won't be without music
If I hear a story from you
I will move to see you
My little pearl of the beautiful locks
With your cheek the color of the berries
Oh you are victorious
Over hundreds of women
