Brian Kennedy/C O'Searchaigh
English Translation by Gabriel Fitzmaurice
Chrysalis Music/MOC Music
"I went to the Galway Arts Festival and my friend Mary Crumlish told me to get a volume of poetry by Cathal O'Searcaigh whom I'd just missed performing the night before. When I read 'My Black Haired Love' it nearly sang off the page itself, so I made a wee tape and remembered about it in time for the B side sessions... I wrote to Cathal for permission and we've since become friends and worked on some more songs". BK
My blackhaired love, my dear, dear, dear
Our kiss re-opens Christ’s wounds here;
But close your mouth, don’t spread the word:
We offend the Gospels with our love
You plague the local belles, my sweet,
They attempt to coax you with deceit
But you’d prefer my lonely kiss
You hugging me to bring to bliss
Lay your head my dear, dear, dear,
Lay your head on my breast here;
I’ll close my mouth no detail break –
For I’d deny the Gospels for your sake.
I deny the Gospels for your sake.
A cheann dubh dilis dilis dilis (My blackhaired love, my dear, dear, dear)
