Description

This gorgeous Michael McGlynn piece was recorded in 2019 at the MacPhail Center For Music in Minneapolis, MN.

A chinn duibh dhílis dhílis dhílis
Cuir do lámh mhín gheal tharam anall
A bhéinlín meala, 'bhfuil boladh na tíme air
Is duine gan chroí nach dtabharfadh duit grá

Tá cailín' ar an mbaile seo'ar buile 's ar buaireamh
Ag tarraingt a ngruaige 'sá ligean le gaoith
Ar mo shonsa, an scafaire is fearr ins na tuatha
Ach do thréigfinn an méid sin ar rún dil mo chroí

Is cuir do cheann dílis dílis dílis
Cuir do cheann dílis tharam anall
A bhéinlín meala, 'bhfuil boladh na tíme air
Is duine gan chroí nach dtabharfadh duit grá

"Sweet Dark Head"

My sweet, sweet, sweet dark-haired love
Put your pale, soft hand around me now
Mouth of honey that has the smell of thyme
It is a heartless man that would not love you

The girls of this town are furious
Pulling their hair and letting it blow in the wind
For me, the best man in the countryside
But I would dump them all for my heart's love

Lay your sweet, sweet, sweet head
Lay your sweet head on me
Mouth of honey that has the smell of thyme
It is a heartless man that would not love you
