Lyrics of Mhaire Bruineall - Clannad

Mhaire Bruineall (original)

Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis
A mhéid é mo thuirse níor lear domh a choinneal
Deir siad gur mise a mheallas na mná
Mharaigh tú go deo mé, lagaigh tú go mór mé
'Gus gach a bhfuil beo domh bhris tú mo chroí
Bhí a trí-point óir leí síos go triogh
Agus í a gcarrnú ar gach taobh
Mharaigh tú go deo mé, lagaigh tú go mór mé
'Gus gach a bhfuil beo domh bhris tú mo chroí
Bí mé lá go ceolmar in sa ród
Tarlaigh domhsa 'n óig bhean chiúin
Mharaigh tú go deo mé, lagaigh tú go mór mé
'Gus gach a bhfuil beo domh bhris tú mo chroí
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis

(translation)

Oru Mháire Bruinneal the flower of Finn
'I followed your aunt back and forth
Oh I loved your mouth or playing cuckoos
You left me in the throes of death
To the extent of my fatigue I could not keep up
They say I was the one who attracted the women
You killed me forever, you weakened me
'And all that is alive to me you have broken my heart
Her three-point gold was down to three
And pile her on all sides
You killed me forever, you weakened me
'And all that is alive to me you have broken my heart
I was one day singing in the road
Come to me young silent woman
You killed me forever, you weakened me
'And all that is alive to me you have broken my heart
Oru Mháire Bruinneal the flower of Finn
'I followed your aunt back and forth
Oh I loved your mouth or playing cuckoos
You left me in the throes of death
