gan toil do mhuintir (one r)
I would marry you without a dowry, my share of this world, without the consent of your people ...

I think I have lyrics of An Clár Bog Déil written down, will try to remember to compare them to what is already posted and share any new lines or verses.

sheet notation

Máiread Ní Mhaonaigh and Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh are among singers who have recorded this romantic song.

http://www.osiochru.com/content/searc-mo-chl%C3%A9ibh-lyrics - as sung by Finola O Siochrú :

Do phósfainn thú gan bó, gan punt, gan áireamh spré,
A chuid den tsaol le toil do mhuintire, dá mb'áil leat é.
Is é mo ghalar dúch gan mé agus tú, a ghrá mo chléibh
I gCaiseal Mumhan is gan de leaba fúinn, ach an clár bog déil.

Siúil, a chogar, is tar i m'fhochair go dtéam on ngleann,
Is gheobhaidh tú foscadh ar leaba an fhlocais agus aer cois abhann,
Beidh na srutha ag déanamh torainn faoi ghéaga crann
Beidh an londubh inár bhfochair is an chéirseach dhonn.

Searc mo chléibh do thugas féin duit agus grá trí rún
Dá dtagadh sé de chor sa tsaol, go mbéinn féin is tú
Ceangal cléire bheith eadrainn araon, leis an bhfáinne dlúth
Is dá bhfeicfinn féin mo ghrá ag aon fhear gheobhainn bás de chumha.
