BEIDH AONACH AMÁRACH

Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Cé mhaith dom é, ní bheidh mé ann.

Curfá:

'S a mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
'S a mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
'S a mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
'S a mhuirnín ó ná héiligh é.

Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Nuair a bheidh tú trí déag beidh tú mór.

Curfá

Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Mur' bhfaigh mé é ní bheidh mé beo.

Curfá

B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
Ná oifigeach airm faoi lásaí óir.

Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Is tá sí i ngrá leis an ghreasaí bróg

'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
Is a mhair go socair lena greasaí bróg

translation:

There's a fair tomorrow in the County Clare (3x)
What good is that to me, I won't be there

chorus
Mammy, won't you let me go to the fair?(3x)
oh darling, don't ask for it (literally, demand it)

You are only 10 or 11 years old yet,(3x)
When you are 13 you will be big

I'm in love with a shoemaker (3x)
If I don't get him, I won't live on.

I would prefer my cobbler (3x)
To an officer dressed with golden braid.

I have a daughter and she is young (3x)
And she is in love with a shoemaker.

There's many a woman who married young (3x)
And lived contented with her shoemaker.
