Cailin Deas Cruite na mBo (The pretty girl milking her cow) : Sung by Mary McLaughlin

This is another song from Mary's beautiful CD 'Sacred Days Mystic Ways' published by Rowan Records. The backing musicians are ; Bruce Abrams Guitar : Aryeh Frankfurter Nyckelharpa : Aria DiSalvio Cello and Steve Coulter, Harp. Mary says that the object of the man's desire is actually a fairy girl and the translation,kindly provided by Rory Poulter is as follows.(Mary does not sing verse 3) 1 I've spent a year or more listening, To the mournful whisper of my mind, Since I met my bright love, On a lovely sunny autumn evening. The sweet milk cows were lowing And the birds mirthful with music, And on the banks of the stream beside me, Was a pretty girl milking the cows. 2 Her eyes are like the shining sun, Dispersing the mist through the skies. Her cheeks as red as berry, Her mouth sweeter than blackberries, Her complexion fairer than fresh milk. There is no young woman in the world more beautiful, Than the pretty girl milking the cows. 3 If I were the high Lord of Ireland, With garments of silk and satin, If I could have the highest Queen, With a dowry of 100 boats, And pilots, castles and gold; I would rather be poor on a hillside, With the pretty girl milking the cows. 4 If it is not time for me to be together, With this faithful angelic maiden as yet My life will be sad and useless. Without peace, without merit, without direction, There will be no comfort in my heart or in my mind. No rest in the night or the day, Until from her people she comes beside me, The pretty girl milking her cow.
