From: sharyn I have heard a few versions of this: I think the Scottish singer Christina Primrose sings it as well, but I don't have any printed lyrics. If someone has them, could you please post them here or at least make a blue clicky? It's a beautiful song. Add my thanks to Daithi's. |

From: GUEST,JTT It doesn't seem to be in Cas Amhráin, or in Ceolta Gael, the green or lavender one; I can't place my hand on Croch Suas É, the next place I'd look. You might try the Traditional Music Archive in Merrion Square, Dublin. |

14 May 07 - 01:39 AM (#2051138) Subject: Lyr Req: Is Trua Nach Bhfuil Me in Eirinn From: GUEST,Stephanie Hi.. I've fallen madly in love with the tune "Is Trua Nach Bhfuil Me in Eirinn" off the Bothy Band 1975 album... and I think many others also have, judging from the amount of lyric requests I've seen on other websites. Anyway, I can't say anything (respectable, anyway) in irish after my year of living in the country, and now back in Canada I have been searching desperately for the lyrics for one of my favourite songs to no avail. If ANYONE knows the lyrics, has the lyrics, can get the lyrics, or knows gaelic and can write down the lyrics... I'm BEGGING YOU to send them to me! Thanks in advance for your time!

01 Nov 07 - 05:55 AM (#2184092) Subject: Lyr Add: IS TRUA NACH BHFUIL MÉ IN ÉRINN From: GUEST,DK These lyrics are from the (CIC) CD 'Seoda - Sean Nos as Tir Chonaill.' The singer of this particular song on the CD is Eamonn Mac Ruairi. Having only heard the Bothy version once I'm not sure if it's the same as this but I don't think so. IS TRUA NACH BHFUIL MÉ IN ÉRINN Is trua nach bhfuil mé in Érinn san áit a tógadh mé i dtús mo shaoil, Ná faoi bhruach na binne móire, ná ag on Éirne lena taobh. Sin an áit a bhfaighinn an t-aos óg ann a thógfadh an brón seo 's an tuirse díom, 'S da mbeinn bliain eile arís ní b'óige go mbeinn a dhul leofa arís. Cheannóchainnse garradh dá n-éireochadh liom, Chuirfinn mustard breá ard ann agus bláth bán ar a' chrann, Chuirfinn síol coirce, síol eorna, síol a ndéantar dean lionn, 'S gurb é síol eorna na gcártaí a d'fhág an mála ar mo dhroim. A dhul fríd an bhaile dheas dhom nach mé bhí lag tinn, Is ar philleadh arís 'na bhaile dom cha raobh duine ar bith lom, Bhí mo mhuintir uilig i gcoraidh liom, nuair a bhíomsa amuigh go mall, Is go bhfuil 'fhios ag mo Mhuire mháithrín gur mar seo mar a bhí an geall. Mar a éiríos an ghealach, ná mar 'luíos an ghrian, Nó mar 'théid an lán mara fá na cuantaí seo siar, B'fhearr liom 'mo luí i bhfiabhras ná bheith i bpiantaí móra báis, Ná boltaí i bheith in mo dhéinchorp is iad á bhfáscadh go cruaidh. Bliain mhór agus an t-am seo bhí mé mo chónaí i gCnoc a' Sciobóil, Bhí mo theach mór á dhéanamh ag saorthaí istigh i gCorcaigh, Bhí mo cheann ar bharr píce le gaoth mhór mhór agus le fearthainn, Má tá roinnt agam d'Mháire an Phéarla, m'anam gléigeal nach d'téann 'na bhflaitheas. A dheartháir, a Ri na Páirte, tabhair mo chás leat uilig 'na bhaile, Mo stocaí agus mo bhróga, 's mo chlócaí atá dubh daite, Tabhair scéala ionsair mo mháithrín 'tá faoi dhólás anois sa bhaile, Go bhfuil rópa cruaidh cnáibe 'goil in áit mo charbhata. |

I'd really appreciate it, my bloodline goes back to Scotland/Ireland. My last name was actually made from a Scottish and Irish family conjoining their names and families.
