Help! I'm looking for the lyrics to the awesome song "Staimpi" by CRAN -- the rhythm of the words awaken something primal in me!

STAIMPI is on the album "Black Black Black" by Cran. The album is described at IrishMusicMail.com

Apparently the lyrics are in Irish Gaelic.

I couldn't find any lyrics or sound samples.

p.s. It seems odd that, although they designate it "traditional," I can't find that word "staimpi" anywhere except in reference to their recording.

p.p.s. Google asked me, "Did you mean: stimpy lyrics?"

Staimpi is better known as Raithineach a bhean bheag.


Raithineach a bhean bheag

Do chuireas mo ghearrchaile go Barra na hAoine
Ag iarraidh staimp� n� c�ca� m�lse,
Nuair a th�inig s� abhaile ni bhlaisfeadh fear an ti �,
Raithineach a bheanbheag d�anfaimid aris �.
Raithineach a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag,
Raithineach a bhean bheag, staimp� agus im air,
Raithineach a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag,
Raithineach a bhean bheag is d�anfaimid an c�ste.

T� tigh m�r fairsing i mBarra na hAoine:
B�onn bean acu � ghlanadh is bean eile acu � scr�obadh,        
Bean eile acu � fh�scadh os cionn corc�in ar a d�cheall
Is seanbhean ar a corraghiob � leathadh ar an ngr�osaigh.        
Raithineach srl.        

Nuair a ghluaiseann M�ire, Si�n agus S�le,
N�ra agus C�it is s�sta a bh�d siad,
An juga ar an gcl�r is a ch�irt d� l�onadh,        
Is mo cheol go br�ch sibh, a mhn� cois Aoine.        
Raithineach srl.

Sorry, I was veiwing this in Firefox and it's buggered up the fadas.

RAITHINEACH A BHEAN BHEAG

Do chuireas mo ghearrchaile go Barra na hAoine
Ag iarraidh staimpí nó cácaí mílse,
Nuair a tháinig sí abhaile ni bhlaisfeadh fear an ti é,
Raithineach a bheanbheag déanfaimid aris é.
Raithineach a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag,
Raithineach a bhean bheag, staimpí agus im air,
Raithineach a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag, a bhean bheag,
Raithineach a bhean bheag is déanfaimid an císte.

Tá tigh mór fairsing i mBarra na hAoine:
Bíonn bean acu á ghlanadh is bean eile acu á scríobadh,        
Bean eile acu á fháscadh os cionn corcáin ar a dícheall
Is seanbhean ar a corraghiob á leathadh ar an ngríosaigh.        
Raithineach srl.        

Nuair a ghluaiseann Máire, Siún agus Síle,
Nóra agus Cáit is sásta a bhíd siad,
An juga ar an gclár is a cháirt dá líonadh,        
Is mo cheol go brách sibh, a mhná cois Aoine.        
Raithineach srl.

Ah! I didn't know about the fada over the final "i" in "staimpí". When I search for "staimpí" with the fada, Google gives more results, including the lyrics here: Raithineach a Bhean Bheag.

Thanks, guest.
