Lyrics An Gabhar Bán - Clannad

An Gabhar Bán

Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi s raibh
Go dt gur fhs na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is cad is corradh laethe
Go dtinig an aois go tran uirthi
Bhi s gcr bheag ins an cheo
Go dtinig feil’eoin is gur alaigh s
Thart an rd san bealach mr
Gur lean a tir go gear uirthi.
Ni raibh nduine ar a tir ach donnch g
Is d’ith s an ln san t-anlann air
Ni raibh aige ina dhorn ach ceap tine mr
Agus leag s anuas n arradh
Nuair a chuala an gabhar bn go raibh s ar lr
Thug s lim chun trrthla
Thug s rs 's ni raibh s ssta
Is leag s spon an tillira.
Chomh cruinn le rn gur thg s feoil
Gan pis gan mrn dibhirce
Ach d’ith s cib agus barr an fhraoich
Slnls min is craobhgai
Draoin is dreas is cuilcann glas
Gach n ar dhath na h-inleoga
Cutharn slibhe, duillir file
Caora srana agus blainsogai.
Chuaigh s dhol cios le caiftn spits
Is chraethnaigh a croi go dtrigf
Chaith s an oche ar bheagn bidh
Mar ndil is go geasfa far uirthi
D’fan s 'a iche I dtin ros coill
Is chaith s go plisra
Go dtinig an slua ar maidin go luath
Is thug siad amach as Ã(c)irinn.
