The Blow-In.

Blow-ins, that's what were know as round these parts
Us from an another race,
Folk that weren't born here
Ones from a different place.
Yet you welcome us with open arms
As we watch your homely truth,
Will you take a drop of tae, you asked
It'll help you quench yer drewth.
And you know just why we came here
To this forgotten land,
With your sea and lough's and mountains
And those endless golden sands.
Your a funny, fiercely proud lot
For your flag of green and gold,
Yet your kind and open hearted
That's a rare gift seldom told.
And if you have a drink with them, be warned
They'll keep you all night long,
For the pint's will keep on flowing
Like their music and their song.
And so, I'm proud to be a blow-in
In this place, I now call home,
Amongst the kind and gentle hearted folks
Of the county Donegal.

Welcome to Donegal...and to Cosmofunnel.

Hi Jason, thank you for the warm welcomes. I live down here in Inver, on the road to Killybegs. Couldn't find a literal translation for '' Tir Chonaill Abu '' but roughly The kingdom of Conal?. I also fond this which I rather like.
In ardje Erin shleevue
Tees insun glan
Nah clushuss spoke dis garra
Nahinny begfaidlan
Jassa ina ,
Erin moor coppin glass,
batcha beg bahn
Up the airy mountain
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owl's feather!
