My Cavan Girl Lyrics
Lokacin da nake tafiya a hanya daga Killeshandra, sai na zauna
Domin yana da kilomita goma sha biyu kusa da tafkin don zuwa Cavan Town
Kodayake Hoto da kuma hanyar da na tafi ba da daɗewa ba
Yanzu na la'anta lokacin da ya kamata in kai yarinyar cavan na gaskiya
Tsunukan kaka suna kan ganye, bishiyoyi ba za su dade ba
Kowane launin gashi a kusa da ni alama da launuka na gashi
Hannuna na koma baya don gano ƙafafuna kuma na sake raina
Ga wuraren kwance na sama suna tuna mani da launi na idanu
A Cavan ke gicciye kowace Lahadi da safe, a nan za a iya samunta
Kuma ana ganin tana da idon kowane yaro a garin Cavan
Idan sa'a zan riƙe zan sami rani na zinariya na murmushi
Kuma don karya zukatan mutanen Cavan za ta dauki min a wani lokaci
Sabili da haka na yamma Lahadi ya same ni gida - Killeshandra daura -
Don yin aiki a mako har sai in dawo da kotu a garin Cavan
Lokacin da aka tambaye shi idan ta kasance amarya, a kalla ta ce ba
Don haka ranar Lahadi da safe za ta motsa kaina kuma in koma ta zan tafi
