Meav – The Dark-haired Girl (In English) lyrics

Album: Silver Sea

I played with the young dark-haired girl
When I woke in the morning
I played with the young dark-haired girl
I played with the long-haired girl
When everyone was asleep
(Chorus)
I played when we woke
And when the sails were unfurled
(Chorus)
On Monday, after Sunday
We left the Orkneys on the Seonaid
(Chorus)
Reefs taken in and reefs shaken
Waves under her bow, and her booming and whistling
(Chorus)
Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún
Is that not the boat coming from the west?
Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún
And my love at the mid-oar?
Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún

Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún
And I ask the King of grace
Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún
To bring my love safely to me
Dún Drumuilliún, muilliún, muilliún
Across the straits of Rome
We had to keep a tight grip on the boom
(Chorus)
Across the narrow waters of France
She was under control and the wind driving us
(Chorus)
She wouldn't want a gift from a market
If a crown was her share
(Chorus)
Even if it were a crown of gold
She wouldn't want a gift brought home to her
(Chorus...)
