Ceol A'Phíobaire
Má phósann tú an siostalóir, is tú a bheas ag caoineadh
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Ó, beidh tú do thachtadh le barrach na tíre
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Ó, beidh tú 'do shuí go mbeidh sé an meán oíche
Ag síordhó na gcoinneal is ag sciobadh an lín dó
Mile b'fhearr duit mise agat, is ceol binn mo phíoba
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Má phósann tú an fíodóir, is tú a bheas ag caoineadh
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Beidh cead luig laig ag an úim a scaoileadh
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Ó, beidh tú 'do shuí go mbeidh sé an meán oíche
Ag síordhó na gcoinneal is ag crónan fán íneadh
Mile b'fhearr duit mise agat, is ceol binn mo phíoba
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Má phósann tú an tailliúr, is tú a bheas ag caoineadh
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Beidh sop i mbéal an dorais, mar bheadh madadh ar charnán aoiligh
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
Ó, beidh tú 'do shuí go mbeidh sé an meán oíche
Ag síordhó na gcoinneal is ag creimneáil na bpíosaí
Mile b'fhearr duit mise agat, is ceol binn mo phíoba
A mhuirnín dílis 'fhaoilí ó
The Piper's Music
If you marry the whistle player, you'll be the one crying
My faithful little girl
Oh, you will be choked by the weight of the country
My faithful little girl
Oh, you'll be sitting there until midnight
Burning the candles to no end and sweeping the way for him
You'd rather have me, my pipes play the sweet music
My faithful little girl
If you marry the weaver, you'll be the one crying
My faithful little girl
The harness will be allowed to loosen
My faithful little girl
Oh, you'll be sitting there until midnight
The candles are burning and tending the fire
You'd rather have me, my pipes play the sweet music
My faithful little girl
If you marry the tailor, you'll be the one crying
My faithful little girl
There'll be a sop next door, like a dog on a pile of manure
My faithful little girl
Oh, you'll be sitting there until midnight
Constantly burning the candles and eroding the pieces
You'd rather have me, my pipes play the sweet music
My faithful little girl
