about

I wrote this song for my first daughter Ruby. The song celebrates the playfulness, wonder and joy Ruby brought to our lives.

lyrics

Ruby My Beauty
Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
So cheeky and smiling with eyes so beguiling
We could not believe what we’d done

On the day you were born, my heart felt so warm
You looked at me straight in the eye
We could not believe, the joy we perceived
Right in the eye of the storm

You rearranged us, you moved us and turned us
Up skittled us, right upside down
You changed and derailed us, you freed us and saved us
Priorities moving along

Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!

Ruby my beauty, they said that your heart was not right
Ruby my beauty your heart was open too wide
We feared it and brooded, we downright refused it
We grieved it and held you so tight

One valve was open, and steadily closing
Its own way and in its own time
Six long months later it sealed and it healed
And now Ruby my beauty you’re fine

You were so little, so precious, so pretty
Petite, a tiny we sprite
No one expected nor anticipated
The steel of your will and your fight

Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!

Ruby my beauty the first one who knew me as Mum
Ruby my beauty, your playfulness threw me – such fun!
So cheeky and smiling with eyes so beguiling
We could not believe what we’d done!

Triona Sings Dublin, Ireland

I performed one woman shows at Dublin Fringe Festival, Bewleys Café Theatre and at the Big House Festival. I played The Village, Whelans, The Helix, The Spiegeltent and most recently at First Fortnight’s Cistin 2021. My style is heavily influenced by folk and country music, my first love and my roots. There are also tones from the great cabaret songs and from choral music. ... more
