This song brought tears to my eyes before I even noticed it was pulling at my heart. This song makes me long for my homeland. Maybe some day a boat will take me there.
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Ag snámh ar a'gcuan
As she glides in the bay
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Faighimis na maidi
Let's get the sticks
Agus téimis chun siuil
And we'll row on
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Óró mo churaichín ó
Oh my little curragh
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Crochfaidh mé seolta
I will raise the sails
Is rachaidh mé siar
And I will go west
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
'S go hOíche Fhéil' Eoin
And until St. John's night
Ní thiocfaidh mé aniar
I will not return
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Óró mo churaichín ó
Oh my little curragh
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Ag snámh ar a'gcuan
As she glides in the bay
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Faighimis na maidi
Let's get the sticks
Agus téimis chun siuil
And we'll row on
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Óró mo churaichín ó
Oh my little curragh
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
Óró mo churaichín ó
Oh my little curragh
Óró mo bháidín
Oh my little boat
(I know it makes for an insanely long post…but how cool is it to see the Gaelic,too?!)
