Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oro Buchleen (Oro Bhuachailin)
OK, so here are the lyrics that Sister Anne sent me:
Dear Joe,
I hope that you and Christina had an enjoyable Christmas and new year.
My brother sent me this chorus of a song that they would dance to.
Oro Bhuachailin seol do bho.
Seol agus seol agus seol go deo.
Oro Bhuachailin seol do bho.
Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se.
My Translation:
Little boy, mind your cow.
Mind and mind and mind always.
Little boy, mind your cow.
And leave things as they are. (Don't worry.)
After seventy years away from Ireland, not a Bad job.
Happy New year.
Sr Anne
Now, does THAT ring a bell with anyone, and can you supply full lyrics for the song? Google does come up with a song titled "Oro Buachaillin Seol Do Bho," but still no lyrics, recording, or background info.
