Fionnghuala

Song: Fionnghuala
Artist: Anúna
Album: Celtic Origins

Thuirt an gobha fuirighiadh mi
'S thuirt an gobha falbhaidh mi
'S thuirt an gobha leis an othail
A bh' air an dorus an t-sabhail
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe

'S a gheala nam botham nam botham
'bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean
Liuthannan beaga na mara
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn

Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn

ENGLISH

The blacksmith said let us wait
The blacksmith said let us go
The blacksmith said to his grandchild
standing at the door of the barn
that he was going to go courting.

Island of bothies, of bothies, Fionnghuala's bothies

I'd knock spots off the birds
I'd knock spots off the hakes (fish)
little lythes (flat fish) of the sea.
We would take a while hauling them in
if our hand lines last.

We got nothing here
except noises of the hand lines.
If only carp would come
If only carp would come
or razor fish or flounder
that would take the hooks from the seaweed
if our hand lines last
