Fire, fire

Language: English

Our translations: IRI

Fire, fire! My heart! O, I burn me! Alas! Fa la la la la.
O help, alas! Ay me, I sit and cry me
And call for help, but none comes nigh me. Fa la la la la.
I burn, alas! Ay me, will none come quench me?
O cast water on and drench me! Fa la la la la.

Dó, dó!

Language: Irish (Gaelic) after the English

Dó, dó! Mo chroí! Ó, táim dóite! Ó bhó! Fa la la la la.
Ó fóir, ó bhó! Ochón, im’ shuí ag éagaoin
Is glaoimse ‘fóir’, níl éinn’ i m’éineacht. Fa la la la la.
An dó, ó bhó! Ochón, táim ana chráite!
Ó is mian liom a bheith báite! Fa la la la la.
