|
|
Ó bhí mé oíche taobh istigh Fhéil' Bhride
|
One night I was outside St Bridgid's Day
|
|
A' faire thíos ar a Mhullach Mhór
|
Looking down on Mullaghmore
|
|
Agus tharlaidh an naoi díom a dtug mé gnaoi dí
|
And the thing happened to me, that I gave love to her
|
|
Mar bhí sí caoghmhaoil, lách, álainn óg
|
Because she was lovely, friendly, beautiful, young
|
|
Sí go cinnte a mhearaigh m'intinn
|
It was certainly she who drove me out of my wits
|
|
Agus liach na bhFiann ó, ní leigheasfadh mé
|
And the doctor of the Fianna would not cure me
|
|
Agus tá mo chroí istigh 'na mhíle píosaí
|
And my heart is in a thousand pieces
|
|
Mura bhfaighim cead síneadh lena brollach glé'il
|
If I don't get to lie down with her bright bosom
|
|
|
|
|
A chailín donn deas a chuaigh i gcontúirt
|
Lovely, brown-haired girl who went into danger
|
|
Orú, druid anall liom agus tabhair domh póg
|
Come over here and give me a kiss
|
|
Agus dá mbíodh mo mhuintir uilig i bhfeirg liom
|
And if my whole family were angry with me
|
|
Nár chuma liomsa a mhíle stór
|
I wouldn't give a damn, my darling sweetheart
|
|
A mhíle grá tá cách a rá liom
|
My darling sweetheart, everyone is saying to me
|
|
Gur don ghrá ort a gheobhaidh mé bás
|
That I will die for love of you
|
|
Agus níl lá margaidh a mbíodh sna Gearaltaigh
|
And there isn't a market day that would be in the Gearalts
|
|
Ná bhfaigheann cúlfathmhuinneach agus mise ag ól
|
And I wouldn't get solace and me drinking
|
|
|
|
|
Is fada 'n lá breá ó thug mé grá duit
|
It's along time now since I gave love to you
|
|
Agus mé 'mo pháiste bheag óg gan chéill
|
And me, a small young lad without any sense
|
|
'S gura leatsa shiúlfainnse cnoic 's gleanntáinn
|
And with you I would walk hills and valleys
|
|
'S go Baile 'n Teampaill dá mbíodh sé romham
|
And to Ballytemple if it was in front of us
|
|
Ach anois ó tá mise curtha cráite
|
But now I am finished, tormented
|
|
'S gur lig mé páirt mhór de mo rún le gaoth
|
And I gave the better part of my secret to the wind
|
|
A Rí tá i bParrthgas ó déan domh fárus
|
Oh King in Paradise, make ready for me
|
|
I ngleanntáin áilne lena taobh
|
In the lovely glens with you
|
