Magnificent woman of sorrow Messenger of death Inflictor of my pain Be my bride in waiting
Appear to me in dream like vision As spears of light drench the land With your seducing songs of wile Be my bride in waiting
Ancient rivers of death flow Over the valleys of darkness Grim life I bid thee farewell For an bheansidhe My bride to be
Now in caves of ever dark Rivers run dry Only tears of sorrow flow Everywhere the stench of death Grim life I bid thee farewell
For you my bride in waiting Buiochas mo bheannsidhe
Misanthropic desires now enacted In a place of ultimate tranquillity Buiochas mo bheannsidhe Where souls of loyalty Bear the scars of baptismal sword And forever be Buiochas mo bheansidhe
Over the valleys of darkness We fly For you my bride Grim life I bid thee farewell For you my bride
Buiochas Bhean
Magnificent woman of sorrow Messenger of death Inflictor of my pain Be my bride in waiting Be my bride (In a dreamlike vision as spears of light drench the land) And forever be Buiochas mo Bheansidhe Misanthropic desires now enacted In a place of ultimate tranquillity And forever be
