From roisinelsafty.com: A song resurrected from the Bunting manuscripts by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and brought to my attention by Siobhán Armstrong. It was part of the repertoire of harpists of the North
A Shíle bhán na bpéarlaí, a chéad-shearc nár fhulaing gruaim, D’fhág tú m’intinn buartha, id’ dhiaidhsa ní bheidh mé buan.
Mura dtige tú m’fhéachaint, is éalú liom fá ghleannta cuain,
Beidh cumha is tuirse id’ dhiaidh orm, is beidh mo chroí chomh dubh le gual.
Tugtar chughainn na fíonta agus líontar dhúinn an ghloine is fearr,
Mura bhfaighead fhéin cead sínte le mínchnis an bhrollaigh bháin.
A phlúr is gile is is míne ná an síoda is ná clúmhach na n-éan,
Is buartha tuirseach ’bhímse nuair a smaoiním ’bheith ’scarúint léi.
Dhá mbeinnse fhéin is mínchnis caoinmhéar an bhrollaigh bhreá,
I ngleanntán aoibhinn aerach ó thitim oíche go n-éireodh lá,
Gan neach ’bheith ’n ár gcoimhdeacht ach cearca fraoigh nó an coileach feá,
’S go mbeadh greann gan cham im’ chroí istigh do Shíle Ní Chonnalláin.
A white Síle the bpéarlaí, his first love did not suffer of gloom,
Left my worry, id dhiaidhsa not mind me permanently.
If you dtige m'fhéachaint, I escape was harbor valleys,
Thought fatigue id 'I followed my heart as black as coal.
Wines are given to us and for us the best glass filled
If I find myself stretched permission white breast mínchnis.
A whitest flour is finer than silk fluffy birds,
Worried when I think'm tired of being separated from her.
Two I would be self mínchnis caoinmhéar breast fine,
I love glen gay since the fall of night to succeed day,
None 'to' Our escorts only grouse or beech cock,
'd Be without Cham in my heart comedy Síle There Chonnalláin.
