ciarili Lyr Req: da mbeadh agam or (6) Lyr Add: DÁ MBEADH AGAM ÓR 26 May 04


Frank Maher has graciously forwarded me the words!

fr the singing of Carthach Mac Craith:

Dá mbeadh agam ór agus airgead
Ní fhanfainn anso trí seachtaine
In achrann leis an ndealbhas
Ach thogfainn tí thar teorainn.

Fallaí árda marmair,
Fuinneóga breaghta geala air
Órnáidí an t-saoghail ann bailithe –
Is chuirfinn díom chun bóthair.

Thógfainn seó. chun farraige
Go mbeadh an domhain fé'm aitheantas,
Fáilte in gach halla rogham
'S gan cip na glas ar dhóirse.

Ach cad a dheanfainn féin le'm asailín,
Is le'm ghabhar a thugadh bainne dom,
An botháinín is an garraidhe bead,
An cat 'san gadhairín gleóite?

'Sé cradh an tsaoghail-se an t-airgead,
Bíodh sé gann no fairsing agat
Beidh rud go deó in easnamh ort –
Mar an gobadán sa scéoilín.

Fallai arda marmair,
Fuinneóga breaghtha geala air
Órnáidí an t-saoghail ann bailithe –
Is chuirfinn díom chun bóthair.
