Mná na hÉireannDónal Lunny

[English Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Ta bean in Éireann a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol
Is ta bean in Éireann is ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil
No seinm thead; ata bean in Éirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo
Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod

[Verse 2]
Ta bean in Éireann a bheadh ag ead liom mur bhfaighfinn ach pog
O' bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo;
Ta bean ab fhearr liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghranna croin

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Ta bean a dearfadh da siulann leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or
Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo
Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clar Thir Eoghain
Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol
