Link has a comment on lyrics I couldn't copy of MGM. I'm also curious to Nil also since I would like to be able to sing this by the real words than my own guessing. :D Title: Re: New MGM lyrics? Post by: mattycakes on October 28, 2017, 09:24PM Chorus:
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear Bonnie boy, Ghile Mear You will be my gallant star Oh haste to me, Mo Ghile Mear Verse 1: In this land, this land unfree Oh who will think to unchain me? My children keen* in vain for thee To break my chains for liberty! Chorus Verse 2: Mountains high and valleys low, The cuckoo sings of Saxon foes. Tis you must strike the mortal blow, Mo Ghile Mear, mo buachaill beo** Chorus Verse 3: So come, my love, to battle come! To this fair land so wear'ly sung! That harp and song the valleys him And sound the song of freedom strong! Chorus x3 *In this context, keen uses the old, oft forgotten verb form (which, incidentally, has roots in the Irish language) and means "wail in grief and despair" **Rough translation: "My boy alive," or "my boy living" I could be completely wrong, but this is how I've been singing it! Lol! ::) |
