Eirigh Suas A Stoirin
Mÿire Brennan Lyrics

Éirigh suas a stóirín, mór a bhfuil sú do shúil
Rise up, my darling, with your bright eye

Foscail a' doras agus lig mise 'un ri
Open the door and let me in

Tá boidéal i m'aice, bearrfas deoch do mhná an tí
There's a bottle beside me and I'll pour a drink for the woman of the house

Agus tá súil 'gad nach ndiúlcofaidh
And I hope you won't refuse

Tusa faoi do scáth a Rí na Glóire
You're under the protection of the King of Glory

Nuair a éiríghim amach ar maidin
When I rise in the morning

Is dearcaim uaim siar
I look back at my home

Is dearcaim ar a' bhaile ud a bhfuil agam
I look at that town that I have to take

Tuiteann na deora na scoite liom síos
The tears fall down my cheeks

Agus gníomh sé míle osna a thá
The thousand sighs that come

I ngleanntán na coille uaigní
In the lonely forest glen

Is lag brónach a bhím
And I'm weak with sadness

Ó Domhnach go Domhnach 's mé ag cathamh mo shaol
From Sunday to Sunday, I'm struggling through my life

Bím feitheamh gach tráthnóna ceo
I wait every misty evening

Shiúil 'n roid nó ceithre thiar thall
Walking the road near or far

Is gan duine ar an domhan mór a thiocfadh
And no one in the world would lift my heart

Ach tú, mo mhuirnín, a chéadsearc na gcroí
But you, my darling, the first love of my heart

Mura dtaga tú amach liom go brách
If you never come out with me

Fa mhaladh na n-ard is tú cruthaithe ar mhna Éireann
Above all others, you were created as the pearl of Ireland's women

Is d'ar mhinna mo bhéil ní breag é
And in my mind, it's no lie

Go bhfuil mé leatsa is ngrá
That I'm with you and in love
