Hegoak ebaki banizkio
neria izango zen
ez zuen aldegingo.
Bainan honela
ez zen gehiago txoria izango.
Eta nik txoria nuen maite,
Eta nik, eta nik, txoria nuen maite.


If i cut their wing
He could be mine
He couldn't escape
but in this way
he couldn't be a bird
And I
loved the bird...

It's just a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice.

Lyrics;
Oh Annan Water's wondrous deep
And my love Ann is wondrous bonnie
I'm loathe that she should wet her feet
Because I love her best of any.
Go saddle for me the bonny grey mare
Go saddle her and make her ready.
For I must cross the stream tonight,
Or never more I'll see my lady.

He's ridden over field and fen.
O'er moor and moss and many's the mire,
But the spurs of steel were sore to bite.
Sparks from the mare's hoofs flew like fire.
The mare flew over moor and moss,
And when she's reached the Annan Water
She couldn't have ridden a furlong more
Had a thousand whips been laid upon her.

Chorus
And woe betide you Annan Waters
By night you are a gloomy river,
And over you I'll build a bridge
That never more true love can sever.

Oh Boatman put off your boat,
Put off your boat for gold and money.
For I must cross the stream tonight,
Or never more I'll see my lady
Oh the sides are steep, the waters deep.
From bank to brae the water's pouring
And the bonny grey mare she sweats for fear.
She stands to hear the water roaring

And he has tried to swim the stream,
And he swam on both strong and steady,
But the river was deep and strength did fail,
And never more he'll see his lady.
Oh woe betide the willow wand,
And woe betide the bush and briar,
For you broke beneath my true love's hand
When strength did fail and limbs did tire

(Chorus)
That never more true love may sever

Lyrics: (Liricí)

Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é
Is a mháithrín an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé
Is a mhuirnín óg ná healaí é

Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach in gContae an Chláir
Cén mhaith domh é ní bheidh mé ann

Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg
Is tá sí i ngrá leis an ghreasaí bróg

Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Níl tú ach deich nó aon deag fós
Nuair a bheas tú trí deag beidh tú mór

B'fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
B'fhearr liom féin mo ghreasaí bróg
N fir na n'arm faoina lascú óir

'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg
Is a mhair go socair lena greasaí bróg

English translation:

Oh mammy, won't you let me go to the fair
Oh dearest love, don't plead with me
Oh mammy, won't you let me go to the fair
Oh dearest love, don't plead with me

There's a fair tomorrow in County Clare
There's a fair tomorrow in County Clare
There's a fair tomorrow in County Clare
Why should I care, I won't be there

I've a little daughter and she's very young
I've a little daughter and she's very young
I've a little daughter and she's very young
And she's in love with a cobbling man

You're not ten or eleven years old
You're not ten or eleven years old
You're not ten or eleven years old
When you reach thirteen you'll be more mature

I'd rather have my cobbling man
I'd rather have my cobbling man
I'd rather have my cobbling man
Than an army officer with his gold bands

There is many a maid who married young
There is many a maid who married young
There is many a maid who married young
And lived in peace with her cobbling man   less
