Women of Ireland", or "Mná na h-Éireann" in Irish, is a beautiful song composed by Seán Ó Riada (1931--1971). The poem, on which the music is based, was written by Peadar Ó Dornín (?1704--1769), This video features the Gaelic lyrics. Below is an English translation, though there are variations (only the first two verses are sung in this version):There's a woman in Erin who'd give me shelter and my fill of ale;There's a woman in Ireland who'd prefer my strains to strings being played;There's a woman in Erin and nothing would please her moreThan to see me burning or in a grave lying cold.There's a woman in Erin who'd be mad with envy if I was kissedBy another on fair-day, they have strange ways, but I love them all;There are women I'll always adore, battalions of women and moreAnd there's this sensuous beauty and she shackled to an ugly boar.There's a woman who promised if I'd wander with her I'd find some goldA woman in night dress with a loveliness worth more than the womanWho vexed Ballymoyer and the plain of Tyrone;And the only cure for my pain I'm sure is the ale-house down the road
