The Wealthy Widow

OK, things are getting better. My kitchen is FINALLY finished (Hallelujah!), and we just have to finish the rest of my living room. Oh goodness... but school is calming down, and homework is better. My social life is now semi-existent, and I'm not as mad at The Big Kahuna for the final college decision as I was. I have changed alot this year. My hair is growing out, and I started wearing make-up. Yes! Me! I guess I look OK, but Mama Bear has had to help a lot. Otherwise, I might look a little desperate (ha ha). Also, I finally got a cell phone. Who knew these things could be so much fun?

I have been paying much attention to Celtic Woman, and let me tell ya! I love their voices, and after watching an interview with each girl (as well as the director, David Downes), I have a new respect and perceptive on this whole singing thing. There is not a chance I could make it with these ladies. NOT. A. CHANCE.


And now, the Wealthy Widow.

English Translation:
Curfá:	Chorus:
'Sí do mhaimeo í, 'sí do mhaimeo í	She's your granny, she's your granny
'Sí do mhaimeo í cailleach an airgid	She's your granny, the hag with the money
'Sí do mhaimeo í ó Bhail' Iorrais Mhóir í	She's your granny from the town of Iorrais Mór
'S chuir-feadh sí cóistí 'r bhóithre Chois Fharraige	And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige
'bhFeicfeása 'n "steam" 'ga'l siar Tóin Uí Loing'	If you'd see the steam boat going past Tóin Uí Loing'
'S na rothaí gh'l timpeall siar óna ceathrúnaí	And the wheels turning speedily at her flanks
Caithfeadh sí'n stiúir naoi n-uair'ar a cúl	She'd scatter the store nine times to the rear
'S ní choinneodh sí siúl le cailleach an airgid	But she never keeps pace with the hag with the money
(Curfá)	(Chorus)
'Measann tú 'bpósfa, 'measann tú 'bpósfa	Do you reckon he'd marry, do you reckon he'd marry
'Measann tú 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo?	Do you reckon he'd marry by two in the village?
Tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa, tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa	I know he'll not marry, I know he'll not marry
Mar tá sé ró-óg 'gus dólfadh sé'n t-airgead	Because he's too young and he'll drink the money
(Curfá)	(Chorus)
'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa	We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
'S gairid go 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo	We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village
'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa	We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
Séan Shéamais Mhóir agus Máire Ní Chathasaigh	Between Séan Séamais Mór and Máire Ní Chathasaigh
