Bealtaine Song

Luinneog:
Samhradh buí na nóiníní gléigeal,
thugamar fheín an samhradh linn
O bhaile go baile is chun ár mbaile ‘na dhiaidh sin,
‘s thugamar fhéin an samhradh linn.

Bábóg na Bealtaine, maighdean an tsamhraidh,
Suas gach cnoc is síos gach glean,
Cailíní maiseacha bángheala gléasta,
‘s thugamar fhéin an samhradh linn.

Luinneog

Tá an fhuiseog ag seinm is ag luasadh sna spéartha,
beacha is cuileoga is bláth ar na cruinn,
tá ‘n chuach’s na héanlaith ag seinm le pléisiúr,
‘s thugamar fhéin an samhradh linn.

Luinneog

Tá nead ag an ghiorria ar imeall na haille,
Is nead ag an chorr éisc i ngéaga an chrainn,
Tá mil ar na cuiseoga is na coilm ag béiceadh,
‘s thugamar fhéin an samhradh linn.

Luinneog

Tá an ghrian ag loinnriú’s ag lasadh na dtabhartas,
tá an fharraige mar scathán ag gháirí don ghlinn,
tá na madaí ag peithreadh is an t-eallach ag géimni
‘s thugamar fhéin an samhradh linn.

Luinneog

Bealtaine Song

Chorus:
Golden Summer of the white daisies,
We bring the Summer with us,
From village to village and home again,
And we bring the summer with us.

Beltaine dolls Summer maidens
Up hill and down glens
Girls adorned in pure white,
And we bring the summer with us.

Chorus

The lark making music and sky dancing
The blossomed trees laden with bees
The cuckoo and the birds singing with joy
And we bring the summer with us.

Chorus

The hare nests on the edge of the cliff
The heron nests in the branches
The doves are cooing, honey on stems
And we bring the summer with us.

Chorus

The shining sun is lighting the darkness
The silvery sea shines like a mirror
The dogs are barking, the cattle lowing
And we bring the summer with us.
