about
Trad. Arr: Michael Keeney
This is a Munster love song in the classical style from the 17th Century. Several versions of it exist, in Cork and in Donegal. It has been attributed to Dominic Ó Mongáin, the blind bard from Tyrone who is thought by some to have composed “An Rabhais ar an gCarraig?” also, and the two “Carraigs” in the songs are one and the same. Muireann learned this West Kerry version of the song from singer Séamus Begley.
Seo amhrán grá Muimhneach sa stíl chlasaiceach ón 17ú haois. Tá go leor leaganacha dó ar fáil i gCorcaigh agus i nDún na nGall. Luaitear é le Dominic Ó Mongáin, an bard dall ó Thír Eoghain agus tá daoine ann a cheapann gurb é a chum “An Rabhais ar an gCarraig?” chomh maith, agus gurb í an “Charraig” chéanna atá i gceist sa dá amhrán. D’fhoghlaim Muireann leagan Chorca Dhuibhne den amhrán seo ó Shéamus Ó Beaglaoich.
lyrics
Ó's thiar cois abhainn gan bhréag gan dabht, tá an ainnir chiúintais mhánla
Gur gile ar a com í ná an eala ar an dtonn ó bhathais go bonn a bróige,
Is í an stáirbhean í a chráigh mo chroí agus d'fhág sí m'intinn brónach,
Is leigheas le fáil níl agam go brách, o dhiúltaigh mo ghrá geal domhsa
Ó b’fearr liom fhéin na Éire mhór na saibhreas Rí na Spáinne,
Go mbeinnse is tusa i lúb na finne i gcoillte s' i bhfad ónar gcairde,
O mise is tusa bheith pósta a ghrá le haon-toil athar is máthar,
A mhaighdean óg is mílse póg gur tú grian na carraige báine
A stuaire an chinn chailce más dual gan tú a bheith agam, beidh cóir ort a thaithneodh le do chairde
Idir shíoda agus hata ó bhonn go bathas, ‘sgach ni insan gcathair dá háille
Beidh do bhólacht á gcasadh gach neoin chun an bhaile, ceol binn ag d'eachaibh ar bhánta,
Beidh ór ar do ghlaice is cóiste do tharraingt go bruach na carraige báine
Translation:
From the west by a river without a doubt, is the beautiful, quiet and gentle woman,
She is brighter on her waist than the swan on the wave from the brow to the sole of her shoe,
She is the noblewoman who tormented my heart and left my mind sad,
I have no cure for ever, since my bright love has denied me.
Oh, I would rather than the great Ireland or the wealth of the King of Spain,
That you and I be in the loop of the wind in the woods and far from our friends,
Oh me and you be married to love with the consent of father and mother,
Young maiden of the sweetest kiss, you are the sun of the white rock.
Oh fair haired beauty, if you do not have me, you will be treated by your friends
Between silk and hat from head to toe, everything in the city that is beautiful
Your cattle will be turning every noon to the town, sweet music by your horses on the meadow,
Gold will be on your hand and your coach will be led to the edge of the white rock.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman
