Thread Name: Lyr Req: Spailpín Óg
Subject: Lyr Req: Spailpín Óg- The Boxer
Hi, I'm looking for the irish language lyrics for the song Spailpín Óg ... the irish version of The Boxer. I learned it at Irish College in Dingle a few years ago and I love the song but I can only remember a few lines. Here are the lines I remember.
Spailpín óg bocht mise
Is umraiteach é mo shaol
Tá mo óige beagnach chaite
Is mo airegad go léir, Tá sé caillte 'gam
Ach mo léan, is ainnis iad na ???????
Thats as far as i can remember and i really want to learn it again.
If anyone recognises it and can post the rest i would be grateful.
(the lyrics i have written may not be spelled correctly!)
Cheers,
Gillian
