"Caoine Cill Cáis" lyrics

"Caoine Cill Cáis"

Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad?
Tá deireadh na gcoillte ar lár
Is go trácht ar Chill Cháis ná ar a teaghlach
Is ní bainfear a cling go bráth
An áit úd a gcónaiodh an deighbhean
Fuair gradam is meidhir thar mhnáibh
Bhíodh iarlaí ag tarraingt tar toinn ann
Is an t-aifreann binn á rá

Ní chluinim fuiaim lachan ná gé ann
Ná fiolar ag éamh cois cuain
Ná fiú na mbeacha chun saothair
Thabharfadh mil agus céir don tslua
Níl ceol binn milis na n-éan ann
Le hamharc an lae a dhul uainn
Náan chuaichín i mbarra na ngéag ann
Ós í chuirfeadh an saol chun suain

Is Aicim ar Mhuire is ar Iosa
Go dtaga sí arís chughainn slán
Go mbeidh rincí fada ag gabháil timpeall
Ceol veidhlín is tinte cnámh
Go dtógtar an baile seo ár sinsear
Cill Chais bhreá arís go hard
Is go bráth nó go dtiocfaidh an díle
Ná feictear é arís ar lár
