Dónal Agus Mórag Lyrics
Bhí móran daoine uasal ann
Bhí tuatanaigh na h-Alban ann
Bhí 'n maistir scoile 'san ministir ann
Bhí an laoch Mac Amhlaigh ann
Chorus:
Dónal, 'se Dónal
'Se Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag
A rinne an bhainis ainmeil
Bhí cearcan ann, is bhí geoidh ann
Bhí corr is dosean sgairbh ann
Seo bha iad is bhí car bí ann
'Sé cearc na n-éan a b'fhearr dhiubh ann
(Chorus)
Bhí bradáin 's bric on Éirne ann
Is flúirse feoil na bhfia n-éan ann
Feol mart is lao, ba bhlasta bhí
Bhí uanfheol friochta is oisfheoil ann
(Chorus)
Bhí 'n dí go fial 's go fairsing ann
Bhí brannda is fíon na Spáinne ann
Bhí póitín stil is mead le mil
Bhí beoir is leann na h-Éireann ann
Bhí tuatanaigh na h-Alban ann
Bhí 'n maistir scoile 'san ministir ann
Bhí an laoch Mac Amhlaigh ann
Chorus:
Dónal, 'se Dónal
'Se Dónal a rinne an bhainis
Dónal agus Mórag
A rinne an bhainis ainmeil
Bhí cearcan ann, is bhí geoidh ann
Bhí corr is dosean sgairbh ann
Seo bha iad is bhí car bí ann
'Sé cearc na n-éan a b'fhearr dhiubh ann
(Chorus)
Bhí bradáin 's bric on Éirne ann
Is flúirse feoil na bhfia n-éan ann
Feol mart is lao, ba bhlasta bhí
Bhí uanfheol friochta is oisfheoil ann
(Chorus)
Bhí 'n dí go fial 's go fairsing ann
Bhí brannda is fíon na Spáinne ann
Bhí póitín stil is mead le mil
Bhí beoir is leann na h-Éireann ann
Translation: The nobility was plentiful And ordinary folk from Scotland The school master and the minister With the warrior McAuley there
It was Dónal, it was Dónal It was Dónal made the wedding It was Dónal and Mórag That made a famous wedding
The meat of hens and geese there were With a dozen commorants and more Of all the foods on offer there The tender chicken they did prefer
There were Erne trout and salmon there With meat of game and wildfowl Prime beef and veal made a tasty meal With roasts of lamb and venison
The varied drinks were plentiful With Spanish wine and brandy Distilled poteen and honey-mead And ale and beer from Erin
Just a couple corrections in the spelling:
"Bhí tuatanaigh na hAlban ann"
"Bhí beoir is leann na hÉireann ann"
