Boy of Erne
I am a boy from Ireland and I am a pretty girl,
Don't ask me bo/ spre/ le/ eate ta/ me/ fe/in rich enough,
's me cork 'a/ me/id e/ dha/ the side of his valley and land of choice,
's If I am not the heir to my life.
Boyhood with them, I have never practiced,
But playing and drinking with him/gmhna/ beautiful fa/ mountain,
If/ I lost/ my sto/r ni/ do/' that I/ lost my/ sense,
A's ni/ mo/ liom do po/g na/ 'n bro/ he spent a year.
His pulse and sto/r na/ po/s the old gray person,
But po/s his own o/g, my leo, muir' maine he/ but a year,
Or/ you will/ be under/oill without him/ or/ a son over him,
The tears will be shed during/thno/na no/ in the morning.< br/>Translation
I am a boy from ireland and i'd coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, i'm rich enough myself,
I own cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and tyrone,
And if i don't change my ways i'll be the heir for county mayo.
Cow herding, my leo, i did not never practice,
But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.
If i lost my wealth and i don't think i lost my sense,
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.
My love and treasure, don't marry the old gray man,
But marry a young man, my leo, even though he lives but a year,
Or you'll still be without a daughter or son above you,
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
