  Artist Interview: Liza

  Song: The Mad Puck Goat (An Poc Ar Buile)

  This is a change of pace and burst of creativity

  for our Sean Nos podcast series. Liza has

  submitted this entry, which is a dramatic shift

  from the other songs in this series, so sit back

  and enjoy.

  Here are the Lyrics in Irish:

  The Mad Puck Goat (An Poc Ar Buile)

  Ag gabhail dom sior chun Droichead Ui Mhoradha

  Pice im dhoid's me ag dul i meithil

  Ce casfai orm i gcuma ceoidh

  [gach duine] Ach pocan cron is e ar buile...

  [chorus]

  Ailliliu, puilliliu, ailliliu ta an puc ar buile!

  Ailliliu, puilliliu, ailliliu ta an puc ar buile!

  Do ritheamar trasna tri ruillogach,

  Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge,

  Is treascairt do bhfuair se sna turtoga

  [g.d.] Chuas ina ainneoin ina dhrom le fuinneamh...

  (chorus)

  Nior fhag se carraig go raibh scot ann

  Na gur rith le forsa chun me a mhilleadh,

  S'Ansan sea do chaith se an leim ba mho.

  [g.d.] Le fana mhor na Faille Brice...

  (chorus)

  Bhi garda mor i mBaile an Roistigh

  Is bhailigh forsa chun sinn a chlipeadh

  Do bhuail se rop da adhairc sa toin ann

  [g.d.] S'da bhriste nua do dhein se giobail...

  [chorus]

  I nDaingean Ui Chuis le haghaidh an trathnona

  Bhi an sagart paroiste amach 'nar gcoinnibh

  Is e duirt gurbh e an diabhal ba Dhoigh leis

  [g.d.] A ghaibh an treo ar phocan buile...
