Colcannon

Well did you ever make colcannon,

made with lovely pickled cream

With the greens & scallions mingled

like a pitcher in a dream

Did you ever make a hole on top

to hold the melting flake

Or the creamy flavored butter

that our mother's used to make

Chorus 

• Oh you did , so you did 
  
•  so did he and so did I
• And the more I think about it
• sure the nearer  I'm to cry 
• Oh weren't them the happy days 
• when troubles we knew not 
• And our Mother made Colcannon 
• in the little skillet pot 

Well , did you ever take potato cake 

and boxty to the school 

Tucked underneath your oxter with 

your books , your slate and rule

And when teacher "Muinteoir "

wasn't looking 

sure a great big bite you'd take

of the creamy flavored soft and melting 

sweet potato cake 

Chorus 

when the evening sun went down 

Well did you ever go a courting boys

when the evening sun went down

And the moon began a peeping 

from behind the hill O Down

And you wandered down the boreen 

Where the Clurachan was seen

And you whispered lovin ' praises to

your own dear sweet Cailin 

Se mo laoch 

He my Hero

Gnath la a bhi ann

It was an ordinary day

Aimsir dheas gheal

The weather was fine and clear

Silim gur imigh traein orm

I Think I missed the train

Do bhios cupla noimead mall

And I was a few minutes late

Ni raibh a fhios agam

I did'not Know

Agus me ag siul chuig an bhfoirgneamh

As I walked towards the building

Cad a an deatach sin sa speir

What is that smoke in the sky

Tine fhoraoise i Nua Gheiris

A Forest Fire in New Jersey

Ni duradh dada sa tsraid

Nothing was said on the street

Nuair a shroicheas mo dheasc

When I reached my desk

Insiodh dom gur bhuail eitlean

It was said that a plane had hit,

An Lar-ionad Tradala Domhanda.

The World Trade Center .

An ceist a bhi againn, agus sinn

ag smaoineamh ar ais ar an gcead bhuama

The Question was upon us as we thou

about the First bombing

An sceimhlitheoireacht no timpiste i

was it terrorism or an accident

Ansin an nuacht faoin dara eitlean

Then came the news of a second plane

Gan amhras anois agus cinnte e.

Without a doubt now- it was certain .

Ansin, chualamar faoin bPeinteagan

Then we heard about the Pentagon

Bhi ionsai ar siul orainn.

We were being attacked .

Eitlean thios , tuairteailte.

Airplane down , crashed .

Gan ach na scairdeitleain

mhileata san aer anois .

With only the military jets

in the air now.

Torann agus Tost aisteach.

Noise and unsettling silence.

Bhi eolas ag duine faoi radharc

Cupla urlar thuas .

Someone knew about a view A few

floors up.

Do chuas ,agus bhi se mar scannan Godzilla

I went , and it was like a scene Godzilla film

Na creatuir bhochta

Conas a dheisseofar an damaiste

The poor creatures

How could this damage be repaired ?

Sin mar a cheapas an chead turas.

An dara turas , bhi tur tar eis titim.

Thar creideamh - tur teilifiseain

taobh thiar den phuir dheataigh

An triu turas --- ni raibh ann ach an smuit .

That 's what I thought , the first time

The second time was the tower after

It was beyond belief ------- behind the Television

The third trip up - there was nothing

A Dhia ! Ar thainig mo chairde slan

Dear God ! Did my friends get out

Fuair me limisin abhaile le cupla comhphairti

I took a limousine home with some associate

Agus iar-shaighdiuir Ruiseach dar dtiomaint

An ex-Russian Soldier was driving us

Throid seisean san Afganastain .

He had fought in Afganastain .

Bhi Ruisis ag chuile dhuine, ach mise.

Turas mall agus imni air faoina jab .

Bhi a chustaimeiri go leir i dtreis ann .

Everyone  spoke Russian , but me

It was a slow trip and he was worried 

All his customers were down there .

Agus na sluaite a bhi ag siul  on Droichead  Brooklyn 

And the dazed crowds walked 

over from the Brooklyn bridge.

Nuair a chonacas mo bhean is mo chlann 

When I  got home to my wife and Children 

Bhi domhan  nua ann 

Chrochamar suas ar mbratach 

It was a new World .

We hung out our flag.
