Lyrics
[Intro]
[low vocal register]“Seo chugainn é
A chairde
An diabhal féin ar strae…”[/low vocal register]
[claps start
Bodhrán builds]
[Verse 1]
Bhí mé ag an níocháin
Ag an sruth fuar
Ag gáire liom
Linnéad bán
Mo lámha fliuch
Mo chroí chomh géar le scian
Tháinig sé i gcóta dearg
Bróga gléigeal
Boladh deataigh
“A chailín chliste
Tabhair dom póg
Beidh óir is saibhreas agat”
[Chorus]
“Imigh leat
A dhiabhal
Níl m’ainm ar do liosta!
Imigh leat
A dhiabhal
Tóg do bhréag go hIfreann!
Is mise bean na n-aitheanta
Cliste
Cróga
Gan faitíos
Imigh leat
A dhiabhal
Roimh mo gháire is mo ghlór!” (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Dúirt sé: “Tabhair dom d’anam
Faighfidh tú trí ghrá go deo”
Dúirt mé: “Scríobh síos ar an bpáipéar
Gach focal
Gan botún”
Chas mé an leathanach bun os cionn
Léigh sé siar air féin an geall
Ghabh an sruth an páipéar leis
Agus thóg an ghaoth a smál
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]“Má thagann sé chugat anocht
Cuimhnigh mo fhocal
A stór…”[/whispered vocals]
[full pub chant]“Tabhair gáire don diabhal!
Tabhair ceacht don diabhal!
Tabhair póg don diabhal
Ansan gearr as a chosa é!” (hey! hey!)
[Chorus]

Prompt
Fast Irish folk stomp, pub-ready. Female lead & chorus, bodhrán, fiddle, claps. Gaeilge lyrics. Story-song: the Devil tempts a clever maiden—she outwits him. Fierce, playful, chantable.
