Oh gentle daughter, here come the wooing men
Oh gentle mother, put the wheels in motion for me
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed
Seaweed from the ocean, the best in all of Ireland
There is a yellow gold head on the Gaelic seaweed
There are two blunt ears on the stately seaweed
The Irish seaweed has beautiful black shoes
The stately seaweed has a beret and trousers

W: Caledonia
Background Info:
Caledonia is the Latin name given to Scotland, the part beyond the frontier of the Roman empire. Now it’s used as a romantic/poetic term to refer to all of Scotland, as Hibernia is to Ireland and Britannia is to Britain. Caledonia is derived from a Celtic tribal name and means “possessing hard feet”….meaning the clan was noted for its endurance and hardiness since they occupied stony land.
Th: Níl Sé’n Lá
F: Buachaill Ón Eirne
Translation:
[Irish Verse:]
Buachaill ón Eirne mé’s bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg
Né iarfainn bó spré léithe tá mé saibhir go leor ‘S liom
Corcaigh a mhéid e , dhá thaobh a ghleanna’s Tír Eoghain
‘S mur n-athraí mé béasaí ‘s mé n’ t-oibhr ar Chontae
Mhaigh Eo
[English translation:]
I am a boy from Ireland and I’d coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn’t ask for a dowry with her, I’m rich enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
And if I don’t change my ways I’ll be the heir for County Mayo.)
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free.
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea,
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun;
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song.
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long,
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains.
The stories of old, fill the heart and may yet come again,
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
