Una Grey Lyr Req: Gaelic: tuirse mo chroi (16) RE: Gaelic: tuirse mo chroi 14 Feb 97


Oops... I forgot the Enlish which I show as different from the above:

My heart is now tired of marriage and young men of the world
Would be much better off with a pretty young lass than a woman with pounds to hoard
Awake by her side till the dawning 'twould be nice to have courtship and play
Instead of a hag that keeps snoring and pulling the blankets away

When I go to a wakehouse or funeral the young girls all ask of me
'Cormac, are you getting married or don't you recognise the fine young man!
His reply was and I also there, "Tis sad but much better by far
For those who are not yet married have the joys of the world and no care"

Now I go on a binge and a spending to Baile An Iarr in the west
And I go on a visit to Aran to the dear girl I love the best
Indeed when I had got married my heart was not pleased or ease
So I'll go back to Rome for permission to marry again if I please
