Aileen Aroon 3
Ducatu non vanutu Aileen Aroon,
San ducatu non vanutu Aileen Aroon;
Ducatu nun vanutu, Ducata non vanutu,
Ducatu, ducatu, ducatu, ducatu non vanutu,
O ducatu non vanutu, Aileen Aroon.
Kead mille faltierote Aileen Aroon,
Kead mille faltierote Aileen Aroon;
Kead mille faltierote, Schat mille faltierote,
Oct mille nee mille, deh mille faltierote,
O faltiegus fine root [rote] Aileen Aroon.
Tuca me sni anna me sgramachree hu,
O tuca me sni anna me sgramachree hu,
Tucca me sni anna me, tucca me sni anna me,
Tuca me, tucca me, tuca me sni anna me
O tuca me sni anna me sgramachree hu.
The first verse was printed to the tune by Domenico Corri in
<<A Select Collection of the Most Esteemed Songs>>, Vol. III, p.
21, Edinburgh, n. d. [c 1798]
The song is in Gaelic, spelled phonetically, and apparently in
Ulster dialect.
