Lyrics of Na Buachailli Alainn - Orla Fallon

Na Buachailli Alainn (original)

Mo bheannacht le na buachaillí
A dimigh uain thar sáile
Dfág siad culaith dheas orm
Le dhul amach De Domhnaigh
Cóta mór go talamh
Agus bheiste den tsíoda láidir
Bríste bhí san fhaisean
Agus bróga de’n leathar Spainneach
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Nuair a tchímsa an fharraige garbh
Ó sé mo chroí bíos cráite
Ag smaoineadh ar na buachaillí
Mar bhíonn siad ins na bádaí
Guím-sa Rí na nAingeal
Sé shorcúios na pláinéid
Go dtuga sé slán na buachaillí
Ar chontúirt a bheith báite
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Fuair mé litir as Albain
'S ní raibh mé in mo shásamh
Gur pósadh na buachaillí
Ar chailíní na h-áite
Ní nár mhaith linn acu iad
Dá mbeadh siad inar sásamh
Cailíní na n-oiléan
'S iad an dream a bhfearr linn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn
Oró na buachaillí
Na buachaillí bhí álainn

(translation)

My greetings to the boys
Dismiss a lamb overseas
They left me a nice suit
To go out Sunday
Large coat to ground
And a beast of the strong silk
Trousers were in fashion
And Spanish leather shoes
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
When I see the rough sea
Oh, my heart aches
Thinking of the boys
Because they are in the boats
I pray to the King of Angels
The six circuses of the planets
Goodbye boys
In danger of drowning
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
I received a letter from Scotland
And I was not satisfied
That the boys were married
On the girls of the place
Not that we did not want them
If they were in our satisfaction
Island girls
They are our favorite
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
Oro the boys
The boys were beautiful
