The Chieftains

The Chieftains is a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in November 1962, by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. The band had their first rehearsals at Moloney's house, with Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music and they are regarded as having helped popularise Irish music across the world. more »

I would I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And around the world I'll bake my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán

But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tu mo mhuirnín slán
