Gréasaí Bróg - le Muireann Ní Amhlaoibh (ón gclár Anam an Amhráin ar TG4)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBtd-VA4FAA

That version has more verses than I've ever seen/heard before. Some of them are repeated, and there are a few typos in the text shown at that link. Also, some of the verses seem out of logical order, so for learners (including myself) I did a reorganized version with a translation:

Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir.
Cé mhaith dom é? Ní bheidh mé ann.

Curfá:
A Mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
A Mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
A Mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
A Mhuirnín ó ná héiligh é.

Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Níl tú a deich nó a haon déag fós.
Nuair a bheidh tú trí déag beidh tú mór.

Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Táim-se i ngrá le gréasaí bróg.
Mura bhfaigh mé é ní bheidh mé beo.

Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg.
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg.
Tá 'níon bheag agam is tá sí óg,
is tá sí i ngrá leis an ngréasaí bróg.

'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg.
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg.
'S iomaí bean a phós go h-óg,
is a mhair go socair lena gréasaí bróg.

B’fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
B’fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
B’fhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg,
ná oifigeach airm faoi lásaí óir.

There will be a fair tomorrow in County Clare.
There will be a fair tomorrow in County Clare.
There will be a fair tomorrow in County Clare.
What good is that to me? I won’t be there.

Chorus:
Mother, dear, will you let me go to the fair?
Mother, dear, will you let me go to the fair?
Mother, dear, will you let me go to the fair?
O, Darling, don’t ask for that.

You are neither ten nor eleven years old yet.
You are neither ten nor eleven years old yet.
You are neither ten nor eleven years old yet.
When you are thirteen, you will be grown.

I’m in love with a cobbler. [in English it would sound better if "boy" were added here]
I’m in love with a cobbler.
I’m in love with a cobbler.
If I don’t get him I won’t survive.

I have a little daughter and she is young.
I have a little daughter and she is young.
I have a little daughter and she is young,
and she’s in love with the cobbler.

There’s many a woman who married young.
There’s many a woman who married young.
There’s many a woman who married young,
and lived steadily with her cobbler.

I prefer my cobbler.
I prefer my cobbler.
I prefer my cobbler
to an army officer wearing gold braid.

Nice version, a Chaoimhín.


A couple of small corrections:

tá sí i ngrá leis an ngréasaí bróg. (4th verse)
is a mhair go socair lena gréasaí bróg. (5th verse)

Go raibh maith agaibh - here's this other version from Muintir Uí Chónagáin - though I prefer the lovely voice of Muireann Ní Amhlaoibh -

That's good to hear, franc, because the Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh's version is in lovely Munster dialect (your favourite, no?) whereas Muintir Uí Chónagáin are singing it in school Irish.

There's also a version sung by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh in real Irish

Corrected. I also noted that, in verse three, the English should be "with a cobbler", so I changed that.

This is the first version of it I ever heard. Do you know if Altan wrote the tune? I've heard many versions of this song, but I've only heard this particular tune on Altan CDs.

I like the "tá 'níon bheag agam" verse coming first as it does here...makes more sense sequentially.

Redwolf

Okay, so now I see where Caoimhín got his lyrics from.

For Altan's version, which is in second-best Irish, oops, I mean in lovely Donegal Irish, tá sí i ngrá leis an ngréasaí bróg is in fact tá sí i ngrá leis an ghréasaí bhróg.
