about

This is a song I learnt from my family while we were rehearsing for the launch of my great uncle Jimmy Dinny’s archival recording. It’s a song that speaks of the beauty of Donegal.

lyrics

Is grá geal mo chroí thú, 'Thír Chonaill, a stór,
'Do luí mar bheadh seoid ghlas san fharraige mór,
Ó gráim thú i gcónaí go moch is go mall,
Is molfaidh mé a choích' thú, a Shean-Dhún na nGall.

Níl contae in Éirinn níos deise ná thú,
Níl daoine sa domhan níos fearr cáil is clú,
Ná tá i dTír Chonaill abhus agus thall.
Ó! Bláth bán ár dtíre thú, a Shean-Dún na nGall.

Tá teanga ár sinsear á labhairt ann go fóill
Chomh milis binn blasta le hamhrán nó ceol
Na n-aingeal sna Flaithis gan smachtú gan smál,
Ó gráim go deo thú, mo Shean-Dún na nGall.

I gcúis tíre no teanga , nó creideamh tá súil,
Nach raibh i dTír Chonaill ariamh ar gcúl,
Nuair a thiocfas ár Saoirse nuair a thiocfas ar ball,
Beidh grá ag an domhan mhór ar mo Shean Dhún na nGall
