Drunkenness for life I forego,
Strong ale I will taste never more,
Since I lost my pretty young maid,
Who would plenish my pockets with riches.
CHORUS:
I long for her from me, from me,
I long for her from me, since leaving me,
I long for her above and below me,
The curly haired Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain (name)
I happened one day in the woods,
and I met a charming young maiden
She'd make a corpse come alive,
and a lovely young man of an old fellow.
If I were in the last throes of death,
Ane people could see no recovery,
I'd never dictate my last will,
'Till the arrival of Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain
Drunkenness for life I forego,
Strong ale I will taste never more,
Since I lost my pretty young maid,
Who would plenish my pockets with riches.
Translation:
Drunkenness for life I forego, Strong ale I will taste never more, Since I lost my pretty young maid, Who would plenish my pockets with riches.
