South wind of the gentle rain, you banish winter weather W: Bring salmon to the pool again, the bees among the heather W: If northward now you mean to blow, as you rustle soft above me W: God speed be with you as you go and a kiss for those that love me W: 2. From south I come with velvet breeze, my word all nature blesses, W: I melt the snow and strew the leaves with flowers and warm caresses; W: I'll help you to dispel your woes, with joy I'll take your greeting W: And bear it to your loved Mayo upon my wings so fleeting. W: 3. Ny Connaught, famed for wine and play, so leal, so gay, so loving W: Here's my fond kiss I send today borne on the wind in its roving. W: Those Munster folk are good and kind, right royally they treat me W: But this land I'd gladly leave behind, with your Connaught pipes to greet me.
