Neansai Mhile Gra (Live)

A Neansaí, ′mhíle grá, a bhruinneall 'tá gan smál
Go bhfeice mise′n t-ádh 'gus an séan ort
Ba ghile do dhá láimh ná cúr geal na trá
Ná'n eala ′s í a′ snámh ar an Éirne
Is glaise liom do shúil ná braon beag den drúcht
Is binne liomsa tú ná na téadaí
'S mur′ n-éalaí tusa liomsa titfidh mé i lionndubh
'Gus cuirfear insa chill ′do dhéidh mé
Is iomaí sin guth mná a chluinimse 'ngach aird
Abhus agus taobh thall den Éirne
Go Corcaigh na gCuan ′s go Béal Ath' na Sluaigh
'Sí Neansaí ′thug bua ar a′ méid sin
A Mhuire 'gus a Dhia, nárbh aoibhinn deas é′r saol
Dá mbeinnse agus í le chéile?
Tráthnóna aoibhinn ciúin, ó mise 'gus mo rún
Ag cogarnaíl ar uaigneas sléibhe
Beir litir uaimse suas chuig Neansaí chaoin na gcuach
Is aithris di gur buartha atá mé
Aithris di arís nach gcodlaím féin aon oíche
Le harraing atá trí mo thaobh deas
Aithris é dá súil, aithris é dá cúl
Aithris é dá méin mhaith chéillí
Aithris é dá ceann ′s dá béilín atá binn
Gur ghiorraigh sí go cinnte mo laetha'

Neansai Mhile Gra (Live)

O fair one, my love, your skin is without blemish
When I see your radiant face
Your two white hands are whiter than the foam of the sea
Or the swan as it swims on the Erne
Your eyes are greener to me than the dewdrop
And your voice is sweeter than any melody
And like a swan I would follow you through flood or fire
And be buried beside you in the grave
Many's the woman's voice I hear in every direction
South and north of the Erne
To Cork of the Harbours and to Ballinasloe
But Neansaí surpasses them all
O Mary, and my God, wouldn't it be a lovely life
If she and I were together?
On a quiet pleasant evening, my beloved and I
Would be talking in the solitude of the mountain
Take a letter from me to the fair, curly-haired Neansaí
Tell her that I am troubled in my mind
Tell her again that I can't sleep a single night
Because of the love that consumes me
Tell it to her eyes, tell it to her back
Tell it to her good-natured understanding mind
Tell it to her head and to her sweet lips
That she has surely shortened my days
