I'D Give You the Blood of My Heart

Phrase: I'd give you the blood of my heart
Irish: Thabharfainn fuil mo chroí duit
Pronunciation: hohr-hinn fwill muh khree gwitch



I’d give you the blood of my heart
Sacrificing all my very morrows
To know you are happy, content,
I’d accept all the days’ sorrows.

For t’is the smile you would give to me
That would forever flow in my veins
To see sunshine always on your face
My face would forever bear the rains.

I’d give you the blood of my heart
Forever knowing that you would be
Living proof of love given, true
A gift…only the lucky ones see.

For t’is the smiling eyes of your face
That would bring a smile there, to mine
To know that you’re not in darkness
Rather, there, in sunshine.

I’d make all the sacrifices, needed,
Knowing, that I would then part.
In order to leave as a happy man
I’d give you the blood of my heart
