Bheir mí ó
(Teri)
2005
Traditional; Lyrics adapted from the Gaelic by Teri Kennedy (Aisling West Music, BMI)
My eternal thanks to Mary McGahey for introducing me to this lovely song and to Margy (Mairead) Eller, Clí’odhna O’Rourke & Aoifa O’Rourke for providing the English translation to the verses.
Teri: lead & harmony vocals, crickets & theramin; Abe Marcor: keyboards; Mary Bouley: harp; Mike Levy: fretless bass
Chorus: Take me over, I am broken-hearted without you.
On a cold, wet night, alone, I called on my love, so true. My fate I did bemoan as I bid my love adieu.
Chorus
'Twas no music in my harp. I lived life aimlessly. Through the secret in your heart, I found my destiny.
Chorus
