Just judge the meaning from this old song, don't look up the meaning.
The Little Irish Girl
As I went out one evening From Tipperary Town,
I met a little colleen Amoung the heather brown;
"Ah" says I, "Perhaps you're lonely" She tossed her pretty curl,
"Well may be I prefer it" Och! the dear little girl.
Says I, "Perhaps you're married?" Says she, "Perhaps I'm not"!
Says I, "I'll be your gossoon! Says she, "I'll not be caught."
"Oh! your eyes are like the ocean, And your heart is like a pearl"!
Says she, "Well then, I'll keep it!" Och, the dear little girl.
Says I, "I've got a cabin, And pigs that number seven,
And with you mavourneen, sure the place would be like heav'n!"
Her eyes looked up in mine ... then, My heart was in a whirl:
The little pigs had done it! Och! the dear little girl!
Answers:
Colleen means a young girl and i guess gosssoon could mean boyfriend/lover. Could mavourneen mean mouthwatering loveliness. (I image the guy was on his way back from the pub and obviously a bit drunk)
