Esta que traigo hoy es una canción del sur de la Región del Ulster Irlanda.
Canción de amor donde se expresa el anhelo de esta persona por encontrar a su amada Molly Hollywood. Con esta sencilla melodía pero muy emotiva ,nos cuenta como está muchacha lo ha hechizado con su amor a tal punto que en su lecho de muerte , él no diría su última voluntad hasta verla de nuevo a su lado.
Esta canción me gusta muchísimo, disfruto cantarla porque siempre a pesar de la barrera del idioma,(gaélico irlandés),cada vez que la he interpretado el público se ha sentido arropado por su nostalgia y su belleza. Gracias doy que podido cantarla junto a extraordinarios músicos irlandeses como Gay McKeon y Mick Moloney. Espero la disfruten y les llegue al corazón.
This song I'm sharing today is a song from the southern part of the Ulster region of Ireland.
A love song that expresses this man's longing to find his beloved Molly Hollywood. With this simple yet deeply moving melody, he tells us how this girl has enchanted him with her love to the point that on his deathbed, he wouldn't say his last wish until he saw her by his side again.
I love this song very much. I enjoy singing it because, despite the language barrier (Irish Gaelic), every time I've performed it, the audience has felt enveloped by its nostalgia and beauty. I'm grateful to have been able to sing it alongside extraordinary Irish musicians like Gay McKeon and Mick Moloney. I hope you enjoy it and that it touches your hearts.

No pude encontrar vídeo de la canción en Youtube, yo la tengo hace años en un CD que me regalaron músicos irlandeses junto al libro con las letras.
I couldn't find a video of the song on YouTube. I've had it for years on a CD that Irish musicians gave me along with the book with the lyrics.
Mál Bhán (Irish Lyrics)
Ar meisce cha dteim nios mo,
Braon leanna go doe ni bhlaisfidh me
Or chailleas mo chailin beag og
A chuireadh im phoca an t-airgead.
Is fada liom uaim i, uaim i
Is fada liom uaim i o d'imigh si
Is fada liom thios is thuas i,
Malai na gCuach Ni Chuilionain.
Bhi me la amuigh ar an gcoill
Is tharla dom soilse bradoige
A dheanfadh an marbhan beo
No reice boic oig de sheanduine.
Da mbeinnse in eipir an bhais
Agus daoine dha ra nach dtiocfainn as,
Ni dheanfainn mo thiomna go brach
Go dtiocfadh si, Mal Bhan Ni Chuilionain.
Ar meisce cha dteim nios mo,
Braon leanna go doe ni bhlaisfidh me
Or chailleas mo chailin beag og
A chuireadh im phoca an t-airgead
Fair Molly (Lyrics)
I'll not be drunk anymore,
Never again will taste a drop of ale
Since I lost my young girl,
Who would put money in my pocket.
I long for her, long for her,
I long for her since she left,
I long for her here and there
Molly Hollywood of the curls.
I will build a house on the hill,
And I'll have four speckled cows,
I'll not let anyone hear them
Except Fair Molly Hollywood.
If I were in danger of death
And people saying I wouldn't survive
I'd never make my will
Until Fair Molly Hollywood would come
I was one day in the woods
And I caught a glimpse of a handsome girl
She would bring a corpse back to life
Or make a young boy of an old man.
