Suil A Ruin

Image
My favourite traditional. I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill And every tear would turn a mill Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán Chorus Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And round the port I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And now my love has gone to France to try his fortune to advance If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

music monday: coffeescup

To become more regularly with blogging, I would like to launch a weekly feature on this blog. Every monday from now on I will recommend some musician or singer that I stumbled across in the internet and that impressed or touched me. Today it is coffeescup . Her voice is so clear, and just stunning. Also listen to her self composed songs, they are quite good :) P.S. As for the kitten: I will call him Dr. Snuggles! My mother HATES the name, but because she wasn't able to find any other better - or convincing - name yet, she can not restrain me  :D
