Thread Name: Req: Sean-DĂșn na nGall (Gaelige)/My Old Donegal
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Gaelige Words
I'll take a crack at Englishing it:
You are the bright love of my heart, darling country of Conall Lying as would green silk on the great sea Oh, I love you always, early and slowly And I praise you always, ancient Donegal
There is no county in Ireland nicer than you There are no people in the world of better fame and repute Nor is there in the country of Conall, in whatever region Oh, you are the white flower of the land, ancient Donegal.
The tongue of our ancesters is spoken there still As sweet, pleasant and delicious as song or music Or angels in Heaven without stain or fault Oh I love you forever, ancient Donegal.
