|
|
A Chití na gcumann, ná séan mé
|
Oh Kitty, my love, do not desert me
|
|
Siúil feasta 'gus éalaigh liom
|
Come on and elope with me
|
|
I ngleanntáin coilleadh nó sliabh' amuigh
|
To a little wooded glen or mountain
|
|
Nó sealad faoi bhláth na gcrann
|
Or under the shadow of a tree for awhile
|
|
Phósfainn i gan fhios don tsaol thú
|
I will marry you secretly
|
|
'S don tsagart dá mh'fhéidir liom
|
Without the priest knowing about it
|
|
'S muna bhfaighfear sinn cangailt' in Éirinn
|

|
Ó racham araon anonn

|
|
|
|
|
Níor cuireadh romham cuireadh na fáilte
|
I was given no invitation or welcome
|
|
Ó thánas an tsráid seo thíos
|
Since I came to this town
|
|
Ón uair a dh'airig mo ghrá geal
|
Since my loved one heard
|
|
Gur thugas mo lámh do mhnaoi
|
That I had already given my hand to another woman
|
|
Is doigh leo go bhfuil mise pósta
|
They think that I am married
|
|
Is dár ndoigh, más doigh, ni fíor
|
And really, it is not true
|
|
Dar a leabhar atá thíos i mo phóca
|
By the book that I have in my pocket
|
|
Is ag mealladh ban óg a bhíos
|
I swear that I only charmed young women
|
