Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chldár |
There's a fair tomorrow in the County Clare |
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chldár |
There's a fair tomorrow in the County Clare |
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chldár |
There's a fair tomorrow in the County Clare |
Cén mhaith dom é? Ní bheidh mé ann |
But what's the use? I won't be there |
|

Curfá: |
Chorus: |
'S a mháithrín, on ligfidh tú 'un aonaigh mé |
Oh mother, won't you let me to the fair? |
A mháithrín, on ligfidh tú 'un aonaigh mé |
Oh mother, won't you let me to the fair? |
A mháithrín, on ligfidh tú 'un aonaigh mé |
Oh mother, won't you let me to the fair? |
A mhuinín ó, ná héiligh é |
My fondest child, oh please don't ask |
|

Níl tú a deich ná a haon déag fós |
You're not even ten or eleven years old |
Níl tú a deich ná a haon déag fós |
You're not even ten or eleven years old |
Níl tú a deich ná a haon déag fós |
You're not even ten or eleven years old |
Nuair a bheadh tú trí deag, beidh tú mór |
When you're thirteen I'll let you go |
|
|
(Curfá) |
(Chorus) |

|
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg |
The cobbler is the man I like the best |
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg |
The cobbler is the man I like the best |
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg |
The cobbler is the man I like the best |
Ná oifigieach airm faoi lásaí óir |
I prefer him to an officer with golden braid |
|
|
(Curfá 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
