Curfá: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
Pill, pill a rún ó |
Turn, turn, my dear |
Pill a rún ó is ná himigh uaim |
Turn, my dear and don't go now |
Pill orm a chuisle 's a stór |
Turn, my own heart's dear |
Agus chífidh tú 'n ghlóir má fhilleann tú |
And you will see God's glory if you turn again |
|
|
Shúil mise thall is abhus |
I have traveled far and wide |
I Móta Ghráinn' Óige do rugadh mé |
Throughout Moate where I was born |
'S ní fhaca aon iontas go fóill |
And I have never yet seen such a wonder |
Mar an Sagart Ó Donaill 'na mhinistir |
As Father O'Donaill turned Minister |
|
|
Dhiúltaigh tú Peadar is Pól |
You denied Peter and Paul |
Mar gheall ar an ór 's ar an airgead |
Because of the gold and the silver |
Dhiúltaigh tú Banríon na Glóire |
You denied the Queen of Glory |
Agus d'iompaigh tú gcóta 'n mhinistir |
You turned your coat and became a minister |
