For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name
Whispers of Love and Loyalty: An Irish Tale Unveiled
Lyrics
Last eve as I wandered quiet near
Last night as I wandered quietly nearby
To the border's of my little farm
To the borders of my small farm
A beautiful maiden appeared
A beautiful young woman appeared
Whose loveliness caused my heart's harm
Her beauty caused pain in my heart
By her daring and love smitten sour
Because of her courageous and affectionate demeanor
And the words from her sweet lips that came
And the words spoken from her sweet lips
To meet her I raced the field o'er
I hurriedly raced across the field to meet her
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
But I would not reveal her name for the sake of Ireland
If this beauty but my words would heed
If only this beauty would listen to my words
The words that I speak would be true
The words I speak would be sincere and truthful
I'd help her in every need
I would assist her in every way
And indeed all her work I would do
I would willingly do all her tasks
To win one fond kiss from my love
To earn a single loving kiss from my beloved
I'd read her romances of fame
I would recount tales of renowned romances to her
Her champion I daily would prove
I would daily prove to be her protector and defender
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
Yet, I would keep her name secret for the sake of Ireland
There's a beautiful stately young maid
There's a beautiful, dignified young woman
At the nearing of my little farm
Near the vicinity of my small farm
She's welcoming kind unafraid
She warmly welcomes without fear
Her smile is both childlike and warm
Her smile is both innocent and affectionate
Her gold hair in masses that grows
Her hair is golden and abundant
Like amber and sheen is that same
Resembling amber in its sheen
And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose
The bloom in her cheeks is like a rose
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
Yet, I would not disclose her name for the sake of Ireland
