I am like Mac Lir I have cried Seas of tears My anguish so deep It makes the waves beat Against the cliffs of Moher I threaten to drown the world in tears I wish Macha The owl witch Would come take my feelings And turn me to stone And keep it in a jar In her hollow owl home And The Great Seanchaí Will know my story For he remembers everything In his long wispy hair And in my final moments Before I turn to grey I will sing with all my heart Dúlamán na binne buí Dúlamán Gaelach Dúlamán na binne buí Dúlamán Gaelach For the selkie And her sea

I am like Mac Lir I have cried Seas of tears My anguish so deep It makes the waves beat Against the cliffs of Moher I threaten to drown the world in tears I wish Macha The owl witch Would come take my feelings And turn me to stone And keep it in a jar In her hollow owl home And The Great Seanchaí Will know my story For he remembers everything In his long wispy hair And in my final moments Before I turn to grey I will sing with all my heart Dúlamán na binne buí Dúlamán Gaelach Dúlamán na binne buí Dúlamán Gaelach For the selkie And her sea
Inspired from where I'm from and a great Irish movie! (For some reason it won't let me call it Dúlamán girl.)
