Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan sings the Irish song Tá mo Chleamhnas Déanta.

Tá mo chleamhnas ‘a dhéanamh inniu agus inné
‘S ní mó ná go dtaitníonn an bhean udaí liom féin
Ach fuigfidh mé mo dhiaidh í, ‘s rachaidh mé leat féin
Síos fána coillte craobhaigh.

‘Mo chodladh go h-eadarshuth b’aite liom féin
Leabaí luachair a bheith faoi mo thaobh
Buideal brandaí a bheith faoi mo cheann
‘S mo chailín deas óg ‘bheith I mo lámh liom.

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

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.

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.

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.
