Thugamar Féin An Samhradh Linn
(We (ourselves) Have Brought The Summer In)

A song about Summer (and Beltane).
[Irish-Gaelic]
[Rough Phonetic]

1]
Seo é an samhradh a thiocfas go haerach,
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn,
Samhradh buí o luí na gréine
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn.

[curfa]
Samhradh, samhradh, bainne nan ngamhna,
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn
Thugamar linn é is cé bhainfeadh dinn é?
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn.

2]
Thugamar linn é ón gcoill chraobhaigh,
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
Samhradh buí o luí na gréine
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn

[curfa]
3]
Cuileann is coll is trom is cárthain,
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn
Is fuinseog ghléigeal Bhéal an Átha,
Thugamar féin an samhradh linn.

[curfa]

[chorus]

1 ] This is the Summer that will come gaily,
We have brought the Summer in.
Yellow Summer from the bed of the Sun
We have brought the Summer in.
 ¢] Summer, Summer, milk of the heifers
We have brought the Summer in,
We have brought it with us, who will take it from us?
We have brought the Summer in.
2] We have brought it from the branches of the forest,
We have brought the Summer in.
Yellow Summer from the bed of the Sun
We have brought the Summer in.
 3] Holly and hazel and elder and rowan,
We have brought the Summer in.
And brightly shining ash from Béal an Átha
We have brought the Summer in.
