Lyrics:
A BhuinneA!n BhuA is A© mo chrA! do luA Is do chnA!mha sAnte ar leaca lom' Is nach dtearn tAo dAth no dolaidh sa tAr Is narbh fhearr leat fAon nA3 uisce poill. DA! gcuirfeA! scA©ala fA! mo dhA©in Go raibh tAo i ngA©ibhinn nA3 i ndeacair iot' A“ bhainfinnse bA©im ar Loch Mhic an A‰in A fhliuchfadh do bhA©al is do bhrollach sAos.
NA hiad bhur n-A©anlaith atA! mA© ag A©agaoin An chuach, an traona nA! an chorr-bhreac Ach an BuinneA!n BuA, a bhA lA!n de chroA Is gur cosAoil liom fA©in A© i snua is i ndreach. BhAodh sA© ag sAorA3l na dA Is deir daoine go mbAm ar an nA3s sin seal Is nAl braon dA! bhfuighinn nach ligfinn sAos Ar fhaitAos go bhfuighinn fA©in bA!s den tart!
Is A© 'd'iarr mo stA3r orm ligint den A3l NA3 nach mbeinnse beo ach seal beag gearr: Is A© dAoirt mA© lA©i gur chan sA an bhrA©ag NA3 go mb'fhaide do mo shaol an braon seo a fhA!il. Nach bhfeiceann tAo A©an an phAobA!in rA©idh Go dteachaidh sA in A©ag den tart ar ball? Is a dhaoine clA©ibh, fliuchaigA bhur mbA©al NA3 nA bhfuighidh sibh braon i ndiaidh bhur mbA!is! Oh Yellow Bittern, alas to see you stretched And your bones there lying on bare flagstones You did no harm at all in the country And would just as prefer ditch water to wine Had you only sent me a message That you were in a quandry, in need of a drink I would have broken the ice on the lake To wet your beak and all the way down to your breast.
I'm not lamenting your ordinary birds The cuckoo, the corncrake or the dappled heron But the yellow bittern of the great heart Who was just like me in many ways He was always fond of the sup And people say I'm fond of a drop myself Whatever drink comes my way, it's down it goes For fear that I might one day die of thirst!
And my darling asked me to give up the booze Or I'd only be alive a short while more, I told her straight out she was telling a lie And that the drink extended my life's span. Don't you see that bird with the smooth neck That only a while ago perished with the thirst? Ah, my pleasant people, wet your whistles Because after death ye won't get a drop!
