An Madaírin aRua, Rua, Rua, Rua, Rua
An Madaírin aRua tá granna
An Madaírin Rua Na lui’sa luachair
‘S barr a dhá chluis in áirde
Chorus
An Madaírin aRua, Rua, Rua, Rua, Rua
An Madaírin aRua so naughty
An Madaírin Rua and he’s hiding in the forest
And the top of his two ears are peepin’
As I came trotting over the hill I spied a fox and he’s atin’
A cute little fox and he’s hiding in the forest
And the top of his two ears are peepin’
Chorus
“Good morn, old fox,” “Good morn, old sir”
“And what is that you’re atin?”
“A fine fat goose I stole from you
And will you come and taste it?”
“Oh no indeed, bold fox,” I said
“How dare you boldly taunt me.
For I vow and I swear that you’ll dearly pay
For the fine fat goose you’re atin’”
Chorus
Then says to you, “You bold bad fox
That stole my geese and ate them
My great big drake, my fine fat hens
And the nicest little ducks in Erin”
Chorus
Tally ho, and a bunt. Tally ho and a bunt.
Tally ho and a bunt we will catch him
Tally ho and a bunt, tally ho and a bunt
And the top of his two ears are peepin’
Chorus

Frog’s Wedding
03:33
|
|||
|
A frog went a courtin’ and he did ride
Hey, ho little lady-o
Sword and pistol by his side
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
He rode up to Miss Mousie’s door
Hey, ho little lady-o
Where he’d often been before
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
He said, “Miss Mouse, are you within?”
Hey, ho little lady-o
“Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin”
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
He took Miss Mouse upon his knee
Hey, ho little lady-o
Said, “Miss Mouse, will you marry me?”
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
Without my Uncle Rat’s consent
Hey, ho little lady-o
I wouldn’t marry the President”
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his fat sides
Hey, ho little lady-o
To think his niece would be a bride
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
Then Uncle Rat rode off to town
Hey, ho little lady-o
To buy his niece a wedding gown
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
“Oh, where will the wedding supper be?”
Hey, ho little lady-o
“Way down yonder in the hollow tree.”
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
The first to come was the little white moth
Hey, ho little lady-o
She spread out the tablecloth
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
The next to come was the bumblebee
Hey, ho little lady-o
Played the fiddle upon his knee
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
The next to come was a little flea
Hey, ho little lady-o
Danced a jig with the bumblebee
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
The next to come was Missus Cow
Hey, ho little lady-o
Tried to dance but didn’t know how
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
Now Mister Frog was dressed in green
Hey, ho little lady-o
Sweet Miss Mouse looked like a queen
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
In slowly walked the Parson Rook
Hey, ho little lady-o
Under his arm he carried a book
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
They all gathered round the lucky pair
Hey, ho little lady-o
Singing, dancing everywhere
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o
Then Frog and Mouse went off to France
Hey, ho little lady-o
That’s the end of my romance
With a ring ting ting and a dandy-o

Gabhaim Molta Bríde
Ionmhain í le hÉirinn
Ionmhain le gach tír í
Molaimis go léir í
Lóchrann geal na Laighneach
A’ silsiú feadh na tíre
Ceann ar óghaibh Éireann
Ceann na mban ar mine
Tig an geimhreadh dian dubh
A’ gearradh lena ghéire
Ach ar Lá ‘le Bríde
Gar dúinn earrach Éireann
English translation
I praise Brigid
Beloved of Ireland
Beloved of all lands
Let us all praise her
The bright torch of Leinster
Shining throughout the land
The pride of all Irish women
The pride of women for gentleness
The hard dark winter comes
Cutting with its severity
But on St. Brigid’s Day
The Irish spring is nearby

The Dear Native Land
03:46
|
|||
|
There's a dear little isle In the Western Ocean, an island of purity, holy and grand. Its name fills her daughters and sons with emotion when they’re on the shores of a far distant land.
It’s Ireland, God bless her, the birthplace of heroes, the land of the patriot, warrior and sage. Of bards and of chieftains, whose names live in story, may they live forever on history's page.
Chorus
I love every blade of grass green on your mountains, every leaf on your trees,every rock on your strand. I love your green hills and your murmuring fountains. I love you, acushla, my own dear native land.
You once were a proud and a glorious nation. Your name and your fame were known all over the world, till misfortune came o'er you and sad desolation, and your emerald banner In slavery lay unfurled.
They tattered your children, destroyed your green bowers. They tried to exterminate you long time ago. But somehow the Irish are like wild creeping flowers; the faster you pluck them, the quicker they seem to grow.
