| Áine Minogue – Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Translation: Drunkenness for life I forego, Strong ale I will taste never more, Since I lost my pretty young maid, Who would plenish my pockets with riches. CHORUS: I long for her from me, from me, I long for her from me, since leaving me, I long for her above and below me, The curly haired Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain (name) I happened one day in the woods, and I met a charming young maiden She'd make a corpse come alive, and a lovely young man of an old fellow. If I were in the last throes of death, Ane people could see no recovery, I'd never dictate my last will, 'Till the arrival of Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain Drunkenness for life I forego, Strong ale I will taste never more, Since I lost my pretty young maid, Who would plenish my pockets with riches. |
