Ta Mo Chleamhnas A Dheanamh Lyrics & Chords By Altan

Tá mo chleamhnas á dhéanamh inniu agus inné
'S ní mó ná go dtaitníonn an bhean udaí liom féin
Ach fuígfidh mé mo dhiaidh í, is rachaidh mé leat féin
Síos fána coille craobhaigh

A match was a-making here last night
And it isn't with the girl that I love the best
I'll leave her behind and I'll go along with you
Down by the banks of the ocean

'Mo codladh go h-eadarshuth be 'aite liom féin
Leabaí luachair a bheith faoi mo thaobh
Buideal brandaí a bheith faoi cheann
'S mo chailín deas óg 'bheith are lámh' liom

Sleeping to milking time is my delight
A bed of green rushes underneath my side
A bottle of brandy underneath my head
And a charming young maid in my arms

Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar
Shiúil mise Corcaigh 'gus sraideanna Bhaile' Cliath
Macasamhail mo chailín ní fhaca mise riamh
'Sí 'n bhean í a d'fhág mo chroí cráite

Oh I walked east and I walked west
I walked Cork and Dublin's streets
An equal to my love I didn't meet
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
