Bean Na Shi |
Her hair is like silver, her eyes are like gold |
She’s never been young and she’ll never grow old |
She lives by the Shannon, the Liffey and the Lee |
The sweet, swift, elusive Bean Na Shi |
She rides a red roan when the moon winds are blowin' |
Glides like a zephyr and sings like a harp |
Beware of her anger, as sharp as a dagger |
Splintering icicles into your heart |
Chorus: |
Bean Na Shi — my living fairytale |
Bean Na Shi — my dream will never end |
She lives in a bower, surrounded by flowers |
Guarded around by wild bramble trees |
I’m anxious to find her as I want to remind her |
Of promise she made to me when I was three |
Her name could be Aine, Blahin or Grainne |
Nobody knows what her real name might be |
But I’ll take a gamble and brave the wild brambles |
To come face-to-face with the Bean Na Sh |
