Eamonn an Chnuic (Ned of the Hills) Lyrics

"Oh who is without

That with passionate shout
Keeps beating my bolted door?"

"I am Ned of the Hill

Forspent wet and chill

>From long trudging marsh and moor"

"My love, fond and true

What else could I do

But shield you from wind and from weather?

When the shots fall like hail

They us both shall a**ail

And mayhap we shall die together."

"Through forest and through snow

Tired and hunted I go

In fear both from friend and from neighbor

My horses run wild

My acres untilled

And they all of them lost to my labor

But it grieves me far more

Than the loss of my store
That there's none who would shield me from danger

So my fate it must be

To fare eastward o'er sea

And languish amid the stranger"

Eamonn a' Chnuic

"Ce-h-é sin amuigh

Go bhfuil faor ar a ghuth

A' reaba mo dhorais dúnta?"

"Mise Eamonn a' Chnuic

Tá báidhte fuar fluich

O shior-shúil sléibhte is gleannta"

"A lao ghil's a chuid
Cad do dhéannfainnse duit

Mara gcuirfinn ort béinn dom ghúna?

'S go mbeidh púdar dubh

Is go mbeimis araon muchta"

"Is fada mise amuigh

Faoi sneachta is faoi shioc

Is gan dánacht agam ar éinne

Mo bhranar gan cur

Mo sheisreach gar sgur

Is gan iad agam ar aon chor

Nil cairde agam

(Is danaid liom san)

Do ghlacfadh mé moch na déanach

Is go gcaithear mé dul

Thar farraige soir

O's ann na fúil mo ghaolta"
