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 compa** For your dreams
