Il testo della Mna na h'eireann

Kate Bush

From the album "common ground - voices of modern irish music"

Ta bean in eirinn a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol
Is ta bean in eireann is ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil
No seinm thead; ata bean in eirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo
Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod

Ta bean in eirinn a bheadh ag ead liom mur bhfaighfinn ach pog

O/ bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo;
Ta bean ab fhearr liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan bhearla, dubhghranna croin.

Ta bean a dearfadh da siulann leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or,
Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo
Le bean a bhuairfeadh baile an mhaoir is clar thir eoghain,
Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol.
