about

Trad. Arr: Linda Buckley

Composed by Aindreas Mac Craith 1709-1794. Known as the Merry Peddler (An Mangaire Súgach) Mac Craith was one of the great classical poets that would assemble in Croom, County Limerick. He was very famous for his quick wit and would upset many people with his harsh words. He was banished by the parish priest from the area as he had upset so many people. He composed this song upon his banishment.

Ba é Aindreas Mac Craith 1709-1794 a chum an t-amhrán seo. Thugtaí an Mangaire Súgach ar Mhac Craith agus bhí sé ar dhuine de na mór-fhilí clasaiceacha a thagadh le chéile i gCromadh, Co. Luimnigh. Bhí an-cháil air as a dheisbhéalaíocht agus as a bheith tapaidh ar a theanga agus is mó duine a mhaslaigh sé lena bhriathra géara. Chuir an sagart paróiste an ruaig air ón áit toisc go raibh daoine cráite aige. Chum sé an t-amhrán seo agus é á dhíbirt as an gceantar.

lyrics

Ó Slán is céad ón dtaobh seo uaim
Cois Máigh na gcaor na gcraobh na gcruach,
Na stád, na séad, na saor, na slua,
Na ndán, na ndréacht, na dtréan gan ghruaim.


Och, ochón is breoite mise,
Gan chuid, gan chóir, gan chóip, gan chiste,
Gan sult, gan seoid, gan spórt, gan spionnadh
Ó seoladh mé chun uaignis.


Slán go héag dá saor-fhir suairc,
Dá dáimh, dá heigs’,dá chléir,dá suag,
Dom chaired cléibh gan chlaon, gan chluain,
Gan cháim, gan chaon, gan chraos, gan chruas. (curfá)


Slán dá n-éis dá bhéithibh uaim,
Dá gcáil, dá gceill, dá scéimh, dá snua,
Dá mná go léir, dá gcéim, dá gcuaird,
Dá bpráisc, dá bplé, dá méin, dá mbua.




Translation:
A hundred farewells from this side of me
Beside Maigue of the berries, the bushes, the stacks,
the estates, the jewels, the craftsmen, the people,
the arts, the stories, the cheerful warriors.

Chorus:
Oh it is sick I am,
Without a share, or right, or company or treasure,
without happiness, or jewel, or sport, or vitality,
since I was sent into loneliness.


Farewell forever to her pleasant freemen,
to her kinship, her gatherings, her clergy, her scholars,
to my dear friends, sincere and kind without fault, without subterfuge,
without greed, without meanness.


Farewell from me to each one, to their maidens,
To all their women, to their beauty, to their complexion,
to their honour, their intelligence, their rank, their presence.
