Beidh Aonach Amárach (There's A Fair Tomorrow) (original)

Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Cén mhaith domh é ní bheidh mé ann
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Is tá sí i ngrá leis an ghreasaí bróg
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Nuair a bheas tú trí deag beidh tú mór
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
B’fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
B’fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
B’fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
N fir na n’arm faoina lascú óir
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
Is a mhair go socair lena greasaí bróg
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é

I would rather have my shoelaces
I would rather have my shoelaces
I would rather have my shoelaces
N men of arms under their gold discount
His mother will you let me fair
He's a young darling than a swan
His mother will you let me fair
He's a young darling than a swan
Many women married young
Many women married young
Many women married young

His mother will you let me fair
He's a young darling than a swan
