Ciara Favorite Celtic songs for singing (100* d) Lyr Add: Dónal Agus Mórag 26 Sep 98


Altan performs a song on Celtic Odyssey called "Dónal Agus Mórag". It's a really spirited and upbeat wedding song from Ulster. I love it and it's one of the few songs which aren't very sad! The words are:

Bhí móran daoine uasal ann
Bhí tuatanaigh na h-Alban ann
Bhí 'n maistir scoile is an ministir ann
Bhí an laoch Mac Amhlaigh ann

Curfa:

Dónal, 'sé Dónal, 'sé Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag a rinne an bhainis ainmeall

Bhí cearcan ann, 's bhí géanna ann
Bhí corr is doisín sgairbh ann
Seo bha iad is bhí car a' bí ann
'Sé cearc na n-éan a b'fhearr dhuibh ann

Dónal, 'sé Dónal, 'sé Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag a rinne an bhainis ainmeall

Bhí bradáin 's bric ón Éirne ann
Is flúirse feoil na bhfia n-éan ann
Feol mart 's lao, ba bhlasta bhí
Bhí uanfheol friochta is oisfheoil ann

Dónal, 'sé Dónal, 'sé Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag a rinne an bhainis ainmeall

Bhí 'n dí go fial 's go fairsing ann
Bhí brannda is fíon na Spáinne ann
Bhí póitín stil is mead le mil
Bhí beoir is leann na h-Éireann ann

Dónal, 'sé Dónal, 'sé Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag a rinne an bhainis ainmeall
