SUMMERTIME

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush, little baby,
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy ‎
standing by
SAMHRADH LINN

Samhradh linn!
Is an saol mar ba mhian leat
Éisc ag léimreach
Fásann cadás go mín

Ó, tá pinginí ag Daid
Tá do mháthair an-dathúil
Bí ciúin, a bháibín,
Agus ná caoin

Maidin go luath
Tosóidh tusa ag canadh
Na heití ar leathadh
Fágfaidh tusa an bhinn

Ach ’dtí an lá sin
Ní gá dhuitse bheith buartha
Beidh daidí is mamaí leatsa, a mhaoin

Samhradh linn!
Is an saol mar ba mhian leat
Éisc ag léimreach
Fásann cadás go mín

Ó, tá pinginí ag Daid
Tá do mháthair an-dathúil
Bí ciúin, a bháibín,
Agus ná caoin
