|
|
Is trua gán mé thiar
|
It's a pity I'm not over
|
|
Ag Eoghainín Ó Ragadáin
|
At Eoghainín Ó Ragadáin's
|
|
Seachtain nó dhó go gcóiríodh
|
For a week or two until he would
|
|
S m'fhallaing domh
|
Repair my cloak for me
|
|
Mise gach neoin a breith 'seoladh
|
I would be driving his cattle
|
|
A chuid eallaigh dó
|
Each afternoon
|
|
'S mé bheith ag baint chnó
|
And I'd be collecting nuts
|
|
Faoi theorainn an bhaile seo
|
On the border on this townland
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Is Ailín na rún
|
And Ailín, my love
|
|
Na rún is na rún
|
My love and my love
|
|
Do Úna Ní Ailleagáin
|
To Úna Ní Ailleagáin
|
|
Corraigh do chroí
|
Move your heart
|
|
|
|
|
Tá cailín beag thíos anseo
|
There's a young girl below here
|
|
A bhfuil páirc mhaith phise aici
|
Who has a fine field of peas
|
|
Knot ina cúl
|
A knot in her hair
|
|
Is níl imeacht ar fhear aici
|
And she can't get away from a man
|
|
Sílidh sí féin go bhfuil
|
She thinks herself, she has got
|
|
Spalpaire fir aici
|
A big, strapping man
|
|
Ach bheirimse an leabhair duit
|
But I swear by the book
|
|
Ré fear ar bith aici
|
That she has no man at all
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair a thigimsa ón tsliabh
|
When I come from the mountain
|
|
Bíonn cliabh den mhóin orm
|
I've a creel of turf with me
|
|
Suímsa síos bíonn fuacht
|
I sit down
|
|
Agus tuirse orm
|
And I'm cold and hungry
|
|
'Sé duirt ainnir na gcliabh
|
The maid of the tresses said
|
|
Gan stiall de do bhrat agam
|
I wish I'd a strip of your cloak
|
|
Is trua gan do ghiall beag
|
It's a pity I haven't your little jaw
|
|
Thiar faoi fhód agam
|
Beyond under the sod
|
|
|
|
|
Is trua gán mé thiar
|
It's a pity I'm not over
|
|
Ag Eoghainín Ó Ragadáin
|
At Eoghainín Ó Ragadáin's
|
|
Seachtain nó dhó go gcóiríodh
|
For a week or two until he would
|
|
S m'fhallaing domh
|
Repair my cloak for me
|
|
Mise gach neoin a breith 'seoladh
|
I would be driving his cattle
|
|
A chuid eallaigh dó
|
Each afternoon
|
|
'S mé bheith ag baint chnó
|
And I'd be collecting nuts
|
|
Faoi theorainn an bhaile seo
|
On the border on this townland
