lyrics

Is Fada Liom Uaim Í

Is fada liom uaim í
Ar uaigneas gach baile a mbíonn sí
Is le gach ógánach suairc
a ghluaisfeadh in aice na dí

A Mhalaidh, a chéadsearc,
ná tréig thusa mise go brách
Is go bhfuil in do dhiaidh
gach aon lá fá mhallaigh na n-ard

Is fada liom uaim í

Dá dtigtheása anuas
ar chuairt fá bharra na gcraobh
Le goirm na gcuach
go ngluaisfinn leatsa mar mhnaoi

Is fada liom uaim í

Béilin meala mar na rósaí,
súil mhódhmhar ghorm gan chlaon
Is i gcoillídh ag buain chnónna,
sé mo bhrón gan Malaidh agus mé

//

I miss her in the loneliness of every place she used to be.
Like every decent fellow who is drawn to the drink

Molly, my true love, never abandon me
I will follow you everyday despite the curses from on high.

If you would descend from above to visit me beneath,
At the cuckoo's call, I would leave with you as if you were a woman

A little honeyed mouth like roses,
Eyes of blue without guile
And in the woods gathering nuts,
Full of sorrow without Molly close to me

about

TRÚ

The trú was a mythological trio of poet-musicians in ancient Ulster. They were revered throughout Ireland, some believing their songs and stories came to them from the future. Others maintained that the trú were possessed by spirits during performance. As such, they were considered gatekeepers to the Otherworld.

New album 'Eternity Near' out September 8th.
