John Spillane - Baile Átha An Rí Lyrics

Gold in the sunlight, silver in the moonlight
Three white swans in the dark blue sky
Gold in the sunlight, silver in the moonlight
Flying on homeward to sweet Athenry

Raghadsa abhaile leis na h-ealaí bána
Leanfadsa amach iad ins na spéartha glé
Raghadsa abhaile leis na h-ealaí bána
Fillfeadsa abhaile leis an mbóín Dé

Raghadsa abhaile leis na h-ealaí bána
Fillfeadsa abhaile leis an mbóín Dé
Raghadsa abhaile leis na h-ealaí bána
Is tabharfadsa faoi fhallaí arda rí an ré

Rí an ré, reics mar a chasaim í
Rí an ré, reics fol dí dí
Rí an ré, reics mar a chasaim í
Oró is Baile Átha an Rí

Seolaim, ceolaim na nótaí fána
Tabharfadsa faoi fhallaí arda rí an ré
Seolaim, ceolaim na nótaí fána
Is raghadsa ar sodar leis an mbóín Dé

Raghadsa ar deireadh leis na góstaí bána
Leanfadsa amach iad ins na spéartha glé
Raghadsa abhaile leis na h-ealaí bána
Is fágfadsa an talamh so, an chloch is an chré

Gold in the sunlight, silver in the moonlight
Three white swans in the dark blue sky
Gold in the sunlight, silver in the moonlight
Flying on homeward to sweet Athenry
Baile Átha an Rí
