The Corrs Buachaill on Eirne translation

Buachaill ón Éirne mé 's bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg

I'm a boy from Erne and I could woo a nice young girl

Ní iarrfainn bó spré léi tá mé fhéin saibhir go leor

I wouldn't ask for her wealth I'm rich enough myself

'S liom Corcaigh da mhéid é, dhá thaobh

I own most of Cork and two sides

a' ghleanna 's Tír Eoghain

of the glenn and Tyrone

'S mura n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oidhr'

And not to repeat the basics I'm the heir

ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo

to County Mayo

Rachaidh mé 'márach ag dhéanamh leanna fán choill

I will go tomorrow making ale in the woods

Gan choite gan bád gan gráinnín brach' ar bith liom

Without a wherry without a boat without a grain of food at all with me

Ach duilliúr na gcraobh mar éadaigh leapa os mo chionn

But the leaves of the trees as bed clothes above my head

'S óró sheacht m'anam déag thú 's tú 'féachaint orm anall

And oh 17 blessing of my soul and you look across at me

Buachailleacht bó, mo leo, nár chleacht mise ariamh

A cow herder, I never practised before anything

Ach ag imirt 's ag ól le h'ógmhná deasa an tsliabh

But playing and drinking with the young women of the mountain

Má chaill mé mo stór ní moide gur chaill mé mo chiall

If I lost my love it's unlikely that that I lose my senses

A's ní mó liom do phóg ná'n bhróg atáim ag caitheamh le bliain

And your kiss is no less important to me than the shoe I've been wearing for a year
