Sé Fáth Mo Bhuartha

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Sé fáth mo bhuartha nach bhfaighaim cead cuarta Sa ngleanntán uaigneach ina mbíonn mo ghrá; Bíonn mil ar luachair ann is im ar uachtar Is i dtús an fhómhair a bhíonn na crainn faoi bhláth Níl gaoith aduaidh ann, níl sneachta buan ann; Tá caladh is cuan ann ag loing 's ag bád; Tá tuilleadh bua ann, 's níl tuaras na Cruaiche ann An té a dhéanfá suas lena mhuirnín bán [Verse 2] It is the reason of my sorrow that I'm forbidden to visit The lonely glen where my loved one is I'd find butter and cream there and honey galore And even in autumn, there are blossoms on the trees No north wind blows there, you see no winter snows there They have harbour and shelter for every boat that sails There are good things to spare there, you can walk without care there If you're at peace with the love of your heart [Instrumental Outro]
