An Dro / Imeall
Listen to the song
Recorded by: Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh
Written by: Trad. Arr. Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh / Manus Lunny & 'Imeall' written by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh
This is a Breton tune which I learned many years ago from my good friends Pierre Crepillon and Patrick Molard. I wrote the Imeall verse over it!
Seo ceol damhsa ón Bhriotáin a d’fhoghlaim me ó mó chairde Pierre Crepillon agus Patrick Molard.
Seo amhrán beag a tháinig liom lá, a théann leis…Imeall.

Lyrics
My youthful young man
You’re the choice of young men I met along the way,
And you melted the ice that covered my heart away,
You enchanted my mind with your sweet words and mouth
And I gave you affection my youthful young man.
You lit up my day with the brightness of your eyes
And you pierced my heart with pangs of desire
Where are you at night?
Where are you by day?
Will I ever know my pleasant young man?
Here’s light and good health to you my youthful young man,
Long life and wealth to you my youthful young man,
I wish you everything, O I wish you each wish
I wish you prosperity
From the centre of my heart.
You’re the choice of young men I met along the way,
And you melted the ice that covered my heart away,
You enchanted my mind with your sweet words and mouth
And I gave you affection my youthful young man.
You lit up my day with the brightness of your eyes
And you pierced my heart with pangs of desire
Where are you at night?
Where are you by day?
Will I ever know my pleasant young man?
Here’s light and good health to you my youthful young man,
Long life and wealth to you my youthful young man,
I wish you everything, O I wish you each wish
I wish you prosperity
From the centre of my heart.
