Figgy Duff Allanadh Lyrics

Child came home in tears today
Hurt by children’s cruel, cruel play
Innocence is fading away
Far from my arms she’ll stray
I want to hold her
Be a shoulder for her tears

Child
Na bach le aon rud ta se ceart go leor
Child
Sin e an domhain anois agat a stoir A leanbh
Ta tu ag eirig fasta ach do beig me an
It’ll be okay, my child

So hush, my babe, don’t cry
That’s the way of the world outside
Sometimes cruel, sometimes kind
I’ll be here to help you find
A guiding compass
For your dreams
