Thread Name: Origins: Bheir Me O / Eriskay Love Lilt - meaning
Subject: Lyr Add: BHEIR MÍ Ó
Bheir Mí Ó

Curfá:
Bheir mí óró, bhean ó
Bheir mí óró, ó bhean í
Bheir mí óró ó hó
Tá mé brónach 's tú i m'dhith

'S iomaí oíche fliuch is fuar
Thug mé cuairt is mé liom féin
Nó go ráinig mé san áit
Mar a raibh grá geal mó chléibh

Curfá

I mo chláirseach ní raibh ceol
I mo mheoraibh ní raibh brí
Nó gur luaigh tú do rún
'S fuair mé eolas ar mo dhán

Curfá


I've Gone Away

Chorus:
I've gone away, oh dear one
I've gone away, oh dear one
I've gone away
I'm miserable and missing you

Many's the cold and wet night
I went out traveling on my own
Until I reached the place
Where the love of my heart lived

Chorus

There was no music in my harp
There was no strength in my fingers
Until you told me of your love
And I found my poem

Chorus
