Aililiu Na Gamhna-Solas

In iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhras/I'm a herdsman's daughter sure enough
Do bhíodh ina cónaí cois taobh na Leamhna/Who once lived down by the banks of the Laune
Bhí bothán agam féin ann is fuinneog I gceann de/I had a cabin there a window in the gable
Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam 'sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna/While I heated the milk I called in the calves
Aililiú na gamhna na gamhna bána/the calves the pretty calves
Aililiú na gamhna na gamhna b'iad a b'fhearr liom/the calves I loved them the best
Aililiú na gamhna na gamhna geala bána/the calves the fine pretty calves
Na gamhna maidin shamhraidh ag damhsa ar na bánta/Dancing in the meadow on a clear summer's morning
Faightear dom cana is faightear dom bhuarach/Get me a can and get me a ladle
Is faightear dom soitheach ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair/Get me a vessel to take all the cream
Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith á síorchur I m'chluasa/The magic music of the world always around me
Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó ag teacht chun buaile/But sweeter sounding still the cattle lowing to the parlor
Rachaimid ar an aonach is ceannóimid gamhna/Let us go to the fair and buy us some calves
Is cuirfimid ar féar iad amach ins na gleannta/Put them to grass out above in the valleys
Osfaidh siad an féar is barr an aitinn ghallda/They'll eat all the grass and the tufts of the strange gorse
Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun an bhainne I gcóir an tSamhraidh/And come home for the milk at the start of the summer
