Bhean A Ti - Clannad

Ó éirigí suas a thogha na bhfear

Is cuirigí píce ar bharr gach cléith

Leagaigí síos iad lucht an droch-chroí

Agus cuirigí dlí na Fraince ar bun

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Tá jug ar an bhord is tá beoir ag teacht

Tá arm go leor ag an Duke of York

Tá an Francach is an Spáinneach ar bhruach na trá

Agus b’fhearr liom go mór é ná cómhra ban

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó shuigh mise síos 's mo mhian le m’ais

Ag ól mo cháirt dí mar dheanfad fear

Sé dúirt bean a' tí den chomhrá mhín

Gan airigead síos bí gabháil amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó tharraing mé aníos mo phíosa brac

Nach mairg a bhíos gan é, mo chreach

Do labhair sí arís go carthannach caoin

Nach súifidh tú síos tá siamsa ar fad ort

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Mo chreach is mo chrá nuair a bhí mé beag

In aois mo dhá bhliain sular smaoinigh mé ar olc

Nach ndeachaigh mé ar bord nó in arm an Rí

Sular chaith mé mo shaol ag dul timpeall ort

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Go mbristear mo dhroim faoin ualach seo

Ma thigim arís ag cur buartha ort

Is a mhéad bean óg as seo go hAbhainn Mhór

A shiúlfadh an ród is a d'ólfadh deoch

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

Ó bhean an tí, fá dhó nó trí

Beidh an talamh gan chíos ón bhliain seo amach

Agus ó bhean an tí, cén bhuairt sin ort?

O rise up his chosen men

And place a pike on top of each rack

Lay them down in the heart of the wicked

And set up French law

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

There's a jug on the table and a beer is coming

The Duke of York has enough weapons

The Frenchman and the Spaniard are on the beach

And I much prefer it to female conversation

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

Since I sat down with my wish on my back

Drinking my drink card like a man would

He said the housewife of the gentle conversation

Without cash down go out

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

Oh I pulled up my brac piece

Woe to me without it, my prey

She spoke again in a charitable cry

Don't sit down you are all entertained

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

My prey and my torment when I was little

At the age of two years before I thought of evil

That I did not board the King's army

Before I spent my life wandering around you

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

That my back is broken under this burden

If I come again worrying you

There are many young women from here to Blackwater

Who walked the road and drank

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?

From the lady of the house, for two or three

The land will be rent free from this year onwards

And lady of the house, what are you worried about?
