DESCRIPTION:
from The Love Token, lyrics to come... maybe. Never heard of MacDara? well now you have. Buy the album if you can find it, its quite good.

Ó, siúd anoir an trá é is é faoi dheifir, é faoi dheifir,
A' fáil na maidí rámha le dhul ag iomramh, dhul ag iomramh
Chaithfeadh sé a dhul thar sáile go moch ar maidin, moch ar maidin
Soir go Contae an Chláir leis, an áit a bfhearr leis, an áit a bfhearr leis.

That day we went to Clare to sell the lobster, sell the lobsters,
Didn't know the way to Kilfenora, Kilfenora,
Thought we would delay down at the local, at the local,
For a glass of beer or a pint of porter, pint of porter.

Ó, bhí aimsir bhreá 'ainn I lár an tsamhradh, lár a tsamhradh,
Gan clabhta ar bith sa spéir 's an ghrian a' taitneamh, ghrian a' taitneamh,
Go deimhin, má bhí fhéin ba chuma leatsa é, chuma leatsa é,
Ag imeacht ar an téar i bhfad ó bhaile, i bhfad ó bhaile.

The piper he did play and the people gathered, people gathered,
It was market day and work was cancelled, work was cancelled,
Dancing to the tune of the Mighty Dancer, Mighty Dancer,
Might as well declare that we were happy, we were happy.

Shuigh sé síos dhó fhéin, ar thóin an bhairille, ar thóin an bhairille
Thosaigh sé ag gabhail fhoinn, 's a' déanamh gaisce, a' déanamh gaisce,
Ansin dúirt fear a tí leis, a dhul a' damhsa, dhul a' damhsa,
Spraoi acu is spóirt as sin go maidin, sin go maidin.

Ó, siúd anoir an trá é, irl.

Ó, bhí aimsir bhreá 'ainn, irl.

The piper he did play, etc.

Oh, here he comes across the beach in a hurry, in a hurry,
He's getting the oars ready, to go rowing, to go rowing;
He has to cross the bay early in the morning, in the morning,
Off to Co. Clare, the place he likes the best, the place he likes the best.

That day we went to Clare, etc.

Oh, the weather was fine in mid summer, mid summer,
Not a cloud in the sky and the sun was shining, sun was shining,
Even if there were, you wouldn't care, you wouldn't care.
Going on the tear, far away from home, away from home.

The piper he did play, etc.

He sat himself down on an overturned barrel, overturned barrel
He began to sing in a boastful manner, boastful manner,
Then the barman told him to go dancing, to go dancing,
Then the fun began and continued until morning, until morning.

Oh, here he comes across the beach, etc.
Oh, the weather was fine, etc.
The piper he did play, etc.
