From the recording Amhráin Éasca - Easy Songs
This young woman wants to look industrious to attract one of the seaweed sellers as they pass.
Lyrics
Iníon mhín ó sin anall na fír shúirí
A mháthairín mhín ó cuir mo rhoithléan go dtí mé
Curfá:
Dúlamán na binna buí dúlamán na Gaelach
Dúlamán na binna buí dúlamán na Gaelach
Rachaimid chun Iúir arsa dúlamán na Gaelach
Ceannóimid na bróga arsa dúlamán na Gaelach. Curfá
Dúlamán na binne buí, dúlamán a' tsleibhe
Dúlamán na farraige, is dúlamán a' Déididh. Curfá
Tá bearéad agus triús ar an dúlamán na Gaelach
Bróga breaca dubha ar an dúlamán na Gaelach. Curfá
Daughter dear, the extracting men are coming over
Mother dear, give me my spinning wheel.
Chorus:
Seaweed from the yellow cliffs, an Irish seaweed seller
Seaweed from the yellow cliffs, an Irish seaweed seller
We will go to Newry said the Irish seaweed seller
We will buy shoes said the Irish seaweed seller. Chorus
Seaweed of the yellow cliff, seaweed of the mountain
Seaweed of the sea, and seaweed of Déididh Chorus
The seaweed seller has a cap and trousers.
The seaweed seller has speckled black shoes. Chorus
