about

We got this from the singing of Peter Russell at the Glengarry sessions - the chorus means:

‘O love of my heart, my little jug,
bright health my darling.
Love of my heart my little full, full, full jug.
Oh, love of my heart my little full jug’

lyrics

Let the farmer praise his grounds
Let the huntsman praise his hounds
Let the shepherd praise his dewy scented lawns But I’m more wise than they
I spend each happy night and day
With my darlin’ little cruiscín lán, lán, lán
With my darlin’ little cruiscín lán

Ó, grá mo chroí mo cruiscín
Sláinte geal a mhúirnín
Grá mo chroí mo cruiscín lán, lán, lán
Ó, grá mo chroí mo cruiscín lán

Immortal and divine
Great Bacchus, god of wine
Create me by adoption your own son
In hopes that you’ll comply
That my glass will ne’er run dry
I’ll take another cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
I’ll take another cruiscín lán

When cruel death appears
In a few, but happy years
He’ll say “Why don’t you come along with me?”
I’ll say, “Begone you knave
For great Bacchus gave me leave
To take another cruiscín lán, lán, lán
To take another cruiscín lán”
