Eileen Aroon - Eibhlin a Run
I know a valley fair, Eileen aroon
I know a cottage there, Eileen aroon
Far in that valley's shade
I knew a gentle maid
Flower of a hazel glade, Eileen aroon
Who in the song, so sweet, Eileen aroon
Who in the dance so fleet, Eileen aroon
Dear are her charms to me
Dearer her laughter free
Dearest her constancy, Eileen aroon
When, like the early rose, Eileen aroon
Beauty in childhood blows; Eileen aroon
When, like a diadem
Buds blush around the stem
Which is the fairest gem? Eileen aroon
Is is the laughing eye, Eileen aroon
Is it the timid sigh, Eileen aroon
Is it the tender tone
Soft as the string'd harp's moan?
Oh! it is truth alone, Eileen aroon
When like the rising day, Eileen aroon
Love sends his early ray, Eileen aroon
What makes his dawning glow
Changeless through joy or woe?
Only the constant know - Eileen aroon
Eibhlin A Run - Eileen Aroon
Sheolfainn fein gamhna leat, Eibhlin a run
Sheolfainn fein gamhna leat, Eibhlin a run
Sheolfainn fein gamhna leat, sios go Tir Amhlai leat
Mar shuil go mbeinn i gcleamhnas leat, Eibhlin a run
An dtiocfaidh tu no an bhfanfaidh tu, Eibhlin a run?
An dtiocfaidh tu no an bhfainfaidh tu, Eibhlin a run?
Tiocfaidh me is ni fhanfaidh me, tiocfaidh me is ni fhanfaidh me
Tiocfaidh me is ni fhanfaidh me is ealoidh me le me stor.
