Irish lyrics:
Tá bean in Éirinn a phronnfadh séad damh is mo sháith le n-ól
Is tá bean in Éirinn is ba binne léithe mo rafla ceoil
No seinm théid; atá bean in Éirinn is níorbh fhearr léi beo
Mise ag léimnigh no leagtha i gcré is mo tharr faoi fhód.
Tá bean in Éirinn a bheadh ag éad liom mur bhfaighinn ach póg
O bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala, is mo dhaimh féin leo;
Tá bean ab fhearr liom no cath is céad dhíobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is tá cailín spéiriúil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghránna cróin
Tá bean a dearfadh da siúlainn léithe go bhfaighinn an t-ór
Is tá bean 'na léine is fearr a méin no na tainte bó
Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir agus clar Thir Eoghann,
Is ní fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar féin ach scaird a dh'ól
English lyrics:
There's a woman in Ireland who'd give me shelter and my fill of ale
There's a woman in Ireland who'd prefer my singing to strings being played
There's a woman in Ireland who'd prefer me leaping than laid in the clay and my belly under the sod
There's a woman in Ireland who'd envy me if I got naught but a kiss
from a woman at a fair , isn't it strange, and the love I have for them
There's a woman I'd prefer more to a battalion,
and a hundred of them I will never get
And an ugly, swarthy man with no English has a beautiful girl
There's a woman who would say that if I walked with her I'd get the gold
A woman in night dress whose mein is better than herds of cows
With a woman who would deafen Ballymoyer and the plain of Tyrone
And I see no cure for my disease but to give up the drink

I first heard this tune many years ago when the movie Barry Lyndon was first released.
The Chieftains played it as part of the sound track and it has remained my very favorite Irish song since.
So beautiful ...

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@CelticSongs]

Thank you! 😊

[@HarryVerey]

Another stunningly beautiful and haunting song. I think written by Sian O'Riada ?

[@CelticSongs]

"Mná na hÉireann" is a poem written by Ulster poet Peadar Ó Doirnín (1704-1796), but you're correct it is most famous as a song, especially set to an air composed by Seán Ó Riada (1931-1971)

[@HarryVerey]

@@CelticSongs Thank you

I'm pretty good at languages, of long and deep Irish ancestry but Irish has to be one of the most difficult languages I've ever attempted to learn. My view is that you have to begin young, and be in a place where it's pretty much constantly being spoken.

[@CelticSongs]

It helps to be surrounded by it or learning it when you’re young. The Duolingo app is quiet helpful

[@hughneek12]

I have been told once that the Irish language is harder to learn from the English tongue than the Chinese language.

[@jaycorby]

@@hughneek12 That is correct.

[@keithlomas6107]

Nice nice.

Thanks!

Really enjoyed another song of like some time ago. Followed the lyrics in the video to those listed, they are inconsistent with her singing. Not complaining at all, just an observation.

Michael Crowe Are you a native speaker of Irish, or did you study it in a classroom setting? I took particular note of your surname - I have some very close friends that also bear the name. Is it considered an Irish name in Ireland itself?

[@mcgregorpiper]

Is she related to Na Casaidigh?

[@CelticSongs]

Yes indeed Sibeal Ni Chasaide

[@1earflapping]

I love this song and this singer. However, I’d like to hear a man sing this for a change. There used to be one on YT years ago, but it’s since been removed. There is of course Séan O Sé’s beautiful version from the 70s (I think), but there should be other males. …
