Gaelic Storm An Cailin Deas Rua Lyrics

An Cailin Deas Rua

by Traditional, with additional words and music by Murphy/Twigger/Wehmeyer, arranged by Gaelic Storm

Nach doiligh domhsa mo chailin a mholadh
'S ni he amhain mar bhi si rua
Bhi si mar gath greine a dhul in eadan na gloinne
is bhi sceimh mhna na finne le mo caillin rua

Chorus:
Thug me liom i o bhaile go baile
Thug me liom i o bhaile go baile
Thug me liom i o bhaile go baile
Chuir me an deoch ar mo caillin deas rua!

B'fhearr liom i na bo is na serrach,
A bhfuil da loinghis a' tarraingt chun cuain,
B'fhearr liom aris na cios cluain maidne
Go mbeinn is mo chaillin in mBaile an Luain.

Chorus

Chuir me mo chailin go margadh Shligidh,
B'e sin fein an margadh bhi daor,
Bhi scilling agus punt ar a pheice mine
No go dtug mise na fuinneadh do mo chailin rua

Chorus

Chuaigh si siar le broga breach'uirthi
Ribini glasuaine teannta 'ar a gruaig,
D'ealaigh si uaimse le buachaill an tsiopa,
'S a Ri, nar dheas i mo chailin rua!

Chorus
