The Fox

Lyrics

[Liricí an "The Fox"] [Véarsa 1] Ag g'bháil ó thuaidh dom thar Shliabh Luachra 'Gus mise 'cur tuairisc' mo ghéanna Ar mo chasadh anuas sea fuair mé a dtuairisc Go raibh maidrín ru' á n-aoireacht [Curfá] Ó maidrín ru', ru', ru', ru', ru' An maidrín rua tá dána An maidrín rua 'na luí sa luachair Is barr a dhá chluas in airde [Véarsa 2] "Good morrow, fox" "Good morrow, sir" "Pray what is that you're eating?" "A fine fat goose I stole from you And will you come and taste it?" [Véarsa 3] "Oh no, indeed, ní áil liom í Ní bhlaisfead pioc di ar aon chor But I vow and swear you'll dearly pay For the fine fat goose you're eating" [Curfá] Ó maidrín ru', ru', ru', ru', ru' An maidrín rua tá dána An maidrín rua 'na luí sa luachair Is barr a dhá chluas in airde
