ALTAN - A Bhean Udaí Thall
Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic)
Tá mo grábháil í, a shí ógó
Greamaithe don dheánaí, a h-óbó
'S mo ghrábháil gheal fán únán tráigh
'S mé 'gabháil i tsáile i mBaile Leóil
'S a bhean udaí thall, a shí ógó
Tá a' siúl na traigh seo a h-óbó
Nach truaigh leat bean ina húire ceoidh
'S í 'gabháil a báthadh i mBaile Leóil
Ó níl mo ghaol, a shíogó
Nó mo pháirt, a h-óbó
'S an uair nach bhfuil, san úire ceoidh
'S é bheirim cead snámh duit i mBaile Leóil
Tiocfaidh m'athair a shí ógó
Anuas fán tráigh a h-óbó
Is gheobhaidh sé mise 'mo bhradán bhog bháidhte
'Gabháil i tsáile i mBaile Leóil
Ní thiocfaidh d'athair a shíogó
Anuas fán tráigh a h-óbó
Ná tiocfaidh mé féin 'na banú an lae
A scaoileadh le céaslaidh i mBaile Leóil
Ó tá leanbán agam a shí ógó
I gcionn a chúig raithe a h-óbó
Is béidh leanbán eile 'na húire ceoidh
I gcionn a thrí raithe i mBaile Leóil
Ó tá leanbán agat, a shíogó
I gceann a chúig raithe, a h-óbó
'S béidh leanbán agam ó úire ceoidh
A bheas ina mháistir i mBaile Leóil
Tabhair mo bheannacht, a shí ógó
Annsoir mo mháthair, a h-óbó
'S é darna beannacht ó úire ceoidh
'S ar 'athair mo chlainne i mBaile Leóil
Nár thabharfá mo bheannacht, a shí ógó
Annsoir mo mháthair, h-óbó
A bhéarfaidh mo mhallacht ó úire ceoidh
'S ón athair mo clainne i mBaile Leóil
Ina méanair do'n mhnaoí óig, a shí ógó
A rachas 'm'áitse, a h-óbó
Béidh beithígh geala ó úire ceoidh
Is fuinneogaí gloinn' aici 'mBaile Leóil
Ó mise an bhean óg, a shíogó
A rachas 'd'aitse, a h-óbó
Béidh beithígh geala ó úire ceoidh
Is fuinneogaí gloinn' aici 'mBaile Leóil
English
This is my grave, a shí ógó
Trapped in the channel, oh no
My white grave beneath the foaming strand
As I'm drowning in Baile Leóil
Oh woman yonder, a shí ógó
Who is walking on the strand, oh no
Have you no pity for a woman in her watery grave
Who is drowning in Baile Leóil
You're not my relation, a shíogó
Nor my friend, oh no
The time has come, hasn't it, in the watery grave
That I took you to swim in Baile Leóil
My father shall come, a shí ógó
Down to the strand, oh no
And find my soft bloated body
Drowning in Baile Leóil
Your father shan't come, a shíogó
Down to the strand, oh no
Nor shall I come myself 'til break of day
To free you in Baile Leóil
Oh I have a babe, a shí ógó
Who is fifteen months old, oh no
And another babe will be in his watery grave
Who is three months old in Baile Leóil
Oh you have a babe, a shíogó
Who is fifteen months old, oh no
And I will have a babe from this watery grave
Who will be the master in Baile Leóil
Take my blessing, a shí ógó
Back to my mother, oh no
And my second blessing from a watery grave
To the father of my children in Baile Leóil
You would not take my blessing, a shí ógó
Back to my mother, oh no
You shall take my curse from a watery grave
And from the father of my children in Baile Leóil
There's fortune in store for the young woman, a shí ógó
Who will take my place, oh no
And will have pure white cattle from a watery grave
And windows of glass in Baile Leóil
I am the young woman, a shíogó
Who will take your place, oh no
And will have pure white cattle from a watery grave
And windows of glass in Baile Leóil
Altan - Mallaí Chroch Shlí
Lá aoibhinn gan bhuaidhreadh 's gan mhearaigh 'S mé ag ardú 'mach Mallaí Chroich Shlí Faoi imeall na neallta go bhfaca mé An spéirbhean ag gabhail tharam ins a tslí Thug sí dealramh breá aerach 'bhí dathúil Ar dhá thaobh a' ghleanna ar gach taobh Is mo cheadfaí gur' réad sí chun seachrán 'S d'fhág sí tréan smacht ar m'aigne faraor
Tá mo chuidiú-sa a laghdú fá bhaile Níl capall, níl caora 's níl maoin Níl géimneach fá shléibhte Loch Bearraigh Le pléisiúr a chuir ormsa mar bhí Ó d'imigh an spéirbhean bhí dathúil A dtug mé spéis dí 's nach bhfanann liomsa chóich' Le m'éifeacht ní fhéad mise 'mealladh Fá 'críonnacht a chuir pian in mo chroí
English
One beautiful day without worry As I climbed up the slopes of Croch Shlí 'Neath the clouds on the skyline before me This fair maiden I did see pass by She reflected a radiance of beauty That enchanted the glen on both sides My senses she shattered completely Alas, her charms overpowered my mind
My help around home is decreasing No horses, no sheep and no kind There's no loving of kine by Loch Bearra To give me the pleasures I mind Since this beautiful maiden departed Taht I fancied, but won't stay with me My best efforts could not entice her And her wisdom has grieved my heart sore
We will always love you and we will never forget you,
Your Family around the world.

Altan -The Jug of Punch
Being on the twenty-third of June
Oh as I sat weaving all at my loom
Being on the twenty-third of June
Oh as I sat weaving all at my loom
I heard a thrush singing on yon bush
And the song she sang was the jug of punch
What more pleasure can a boy desire
Than sitting down, oh beside the fire
What more pleasure can a boy desire
Than sitting down, oh beside the fire
And in his hand, oh a jug of punch
And on his knee a tidy wench
When I am dead and left in my mold
At my head and feet place a flowing bowl
When I am dead and left in my mold
At my head and feet place a flowing bowl
And every young man that passes by
He can have a drink and remember I
Being on the twenty-third of June
Oh as I sat weaving all at my loom
Being on the twenty-third of June
Oh as I sat weaving all at my loom
I heard a thrush singing on yon bush
And the song she sang was the jug of punch
"Noooooo, no es amor lo que tu sientes se llama obsesión..."
"Hice cita pal psiquiatra
a ver si me ayudaba..."
"tu amor sera mi alivio y hasta que no seas mia no vivire en paz..."
"el insomnio es mi castigo..."
"una ilusion en tu pensamiento, que te hace hacer cosas..."
"pero tendre paciencia porque el no es competencia..."
Aventura-Obsesion
Son la cinco de la mañana y yo no he dormido nada, pensando en tu belleza, loco voy a parar. el insomnio es mi castigo, tu amor sera mi alivio y hasta que no seas mia no vivire en paz. Hoy conoci tu novio, pequeño y no hermoso se que el no te quiere, por su forma de hablar. Ademas tu no lo amas, porque el no da la talla, no sabe complacerte como lo haria yo, pero tendre paciencia porque el no es competencia, por eso no hay motivos, para yo respetarlo.
Coro:(Yudy Santos) No, no es amor, lo que tu sientes, se llama obsesion, una ilusion en tu pensamiento, que te hace hacer cosas, asi funciona el corazon. Antony: Bien vestido y en mi lexus, pase por tu colegio, me informan que te fuistes, como loco te fui a alcanzar, te busque y no te encontraba, y eso me procupaba, para calmar mi ansia, yo te queria llamar, pero no tenia tu numero, y tu amiga ya me lo nego, esa bonita mucho me ayudo, y eso me trajo la solucion, yo se que le gustaba, y que le di una mirada, con un par de palabritas tu numero me dio, del celular llamaba, y tu no contestabas, luego te puse un beeper y no habia conexion, mi unica esperanza, es que oigas mis palabras (yudy) no puedo, tengo novio
(antony) no me enganches por favor Yudy: coro
Hice cita pal psiquiatra a ver si me ayudaba, pues ya no tengo amigos por solo hablar de ti, lo que quiero es hablarte, para intentar besarte ser pasion de una obsesion que no pueda morir. Y quizas pienses que soy tonto, bribon, y tambien loco, pero es que en el amor soy muy original, me enamoro como otros, conquisto a mi modo, amar es mi talento, te voy a enamorar, disculpa si te ofendo pero es que soy honesto con lujo de detalles escucha mi version pura crema e chocolate, huntarte y devorarte, llevarte a otro mundo en tu mente corazon. Ven vive aventura hagamos mil locuras voy a hacerte caricias que no se han inventado.
