"Aililiu' Na Gamhna" by The Fallen Angels
Is iníon d'aoire mé- (I'm a herdsman's daughter) Féinig gan amhras- (Sure enough) Do bhíodh ina cónaí- (Who once lived) Cois taobh na Leamhna- (Down by the banks of the Laune) Bhí bothán agam féin ann- (I had a cabin there) Is fuinneog i gceann de- (A window in the gable) Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam- (While I heated the milk) 'Sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna- ( I called in the calves)
Chorus: Aililiú na gamhna- (Aililiú the calves) Na gamhna bána- (The pretty calves) Aililiú na gamhna- (Aililiú the calves)
Na gamhna b'iad a b'fhearr liom- (I loved them the best) Aililiú na gamhna- (Aililiú the calves) Na gamhna geala bána-(The fine pretty calves) Na gamhna maidin shamhraidh- (Dancing in the meadow) Ag damhsa ar na bánta- (On a clear summer's morning)
Faightear dom cana- (Get me a can) Is faightear dom bhuarach- ( And get me a ladle) Is faightear dom soitheach- (Get me a vessel) Ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair- (To take all the cream) Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith- (The magic music of the world) Á síorchur i m'chluasa- (Always around me) Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó- (But sweeter still the cattle) Ag teacht chun buaile- (Lowing to the parlor)
Rachaimid ar an aonach- (Let us go to the fair) Is ceannóimid gamhna- (And buy us some calves) Is cuirfimid ar féar iad- (Put them to grass out) Amach ins na gleannta- (Above in the valleys) Íosfaidh siad an féar- (They'll eat all the grass) Is barr an aitinn ghallda- (And the tufts of the strange gorse) Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun- (And come home for the milk) An bhainne i gcóir an tSamhraidh- (At the start of the summer)
Repeat Chorus twice
