letra de sheila nee iyer (síle ní ghaidhre) - barry gleeson
[verse 1: barry gleeson & grace toland]
it was by the banks of a clear flowing stream
that first i accosted a comely young dame
and in great confusion i did ask her name
“are you flora, or aurora, or the fame queen of tyre?”
she answered, “i’m neither, i’m síle ní ghaidhre.”
[verse 2: grace toland]
“ah, go rhyming, rogue, let my flocks roam in peace
for you won’t find among them the famed golden fleece
the tresses of helen, that goddess of greece
are all hanged round your heart like a doll of desire
be off to your spéirbhean”, says síle ní ghaidhre
[verse 3: barry gleeson]
“may the sufferings of sisyphus fall to my share
or may i the torments of tantalus bear
to the dark land of hades my soul be an heir
without linnet in song or a note on the lyre
if ever i prove false to my síle ní ghaidhre.”
[verse 4: barry gleeson & grace toland]
“oh had i the wealth of the orient store
or the gems of peru or the mexican ore
or the hand of the midas to mould o’er and o’er
bright bracelets of gold or of flaming sapphire
i’d robe you in splendour my síle ní ghaidhre.”
