Ta Mo Chleimhnas Deanta (My Match It Is Made)
Ta mo chleimhnas deanta o athru areir
S'ni mo na go dtaithnioonn my wife with myself
But I will leave her behind me
'till I go with myself
Around the tree-lined woods
My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But I'll take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods all over.
I walked east and I walked west.
I walked Cork to Dublin Street
But the likeness of my beautiful girl is something I have never seen.
She is the a black woman who left my broken heart
I walked up and I walked down.
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns,
But no equal to my true love could I find.< br/>She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken.
I got up in the morning two hours before the day
'til I received a letter from my beloved
I heard the smoke and the londubh ra
That my love was alive across the sea
I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love.
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean.
