about

A fun traditional Irish drinking song -- and there are actions that go with it! Play along if you like, and in the final verse make sure your glass is drained completely!

lyrics

Let the farmer praise his grounds,
Let the huntsman praise his hounds,
Let the shepherd praise his dewy scented lawn;
Oh, but I, more wise than they,
Spend each happy night and day
With my darling little crúiscín lán, lán, lán,
My darling little crúiscín lán!

O grádh mo chroidhe mo crúiscín,—
Sláinte geal mo mhúirnín.
Grádh mo chroidhe mo crúiscín lán, lán, lán,
O grádh mo chroidhe mo crúiscín lán.

Immortal and divine,
Great Bacchus, god of wine,
Create me by adoption your own son;
In hope that you'll comply,
That me glass may ne'er run dry.
Nor my darling little crúiscín lán, lán, lán,
Oh, my darling little crúiscín lán!

And when grim death appears,
In a few but happy years,
And says, “Oh, won't you come along with me?”
I'll say, “Begone, ye knave,
For King Bacchus gave me leave
To take another crúiscín lán, lán, lán,
To take another crúiscín lán!”

Then fill your glasses high,
Let's not part with lips so dry,
Though the lark now proclaims it is the dawn;
And since we can't remain,
May we shortly meet again,
To fill another crúiscín lán, lán, lán,
To fill another crúiscín lán!

Emily Holbert Kitchener, Ontario

Emily Holbert, known as “Emer nic Aidan” in the SCA, is a Celtic-inspired singer/songwriter based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. Her “bardic-folk” songs tell tales of love and valour, whether recounting and reinventing Celtic mythologies and faerie tales, or recording ‘historical’ deeds within the SCA's Kingdom of Ealdormere.
Let her take you back to a time when bards sang around the fire! ... more
