Chorus
:
|
|
Má bhíonn tú liom
|
If you're with me
|
|
Bí liom os comhair lán an tí
|
Be with me in front of all the people in the house
|
|
Má bhíonn tú liom
|
If you're with me
|
|
Bí liom go ló geal is oíche
|
Be with me all day and all night
|
|
Má bhíonn tú liom
|
If you're with me
|
|
Bí liom gach orlach de do chroí
|
Be with me truly in your heart
|
|
'Sé mo léan le fonn
|
It is my great sadness
|
|
Nach liom Dé Domhnaigh thú mar mhnaoi
|
That you aren't mine on Sunday as my wife
|
|
|
|
|
Dhá mbéadh spré ag an gcat
|
If the cat had a dowry
|
|
Nach deas mar a phógfaí a bhéal
|
How nicely his mouth would be kissed
|
|
Mura mbeadh nach fada
|
And if he didn't, it's a long way
|
|
Ó bhaile a sheolfaí é
|
From home he would be driven
|
|
Tá iníon na caillí gioblaí
|
The twisted, wretched witch's daughter
|
|
Casta pósta ó aréir
|
Is married since last night
|
|
'S tá mo chailín ag baile
|
And my girl's at home
|
|
'S gan duine aici a phógfadh a béal
|
With no one to kiss her mouth
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
'S cén cat mara a chas
|
And what misfortune that
|
|
In san áit seo mé?
|
Directed me to this place?
|
|
Nach iomaí cailín
|
There is many a girl in the village
|
|
A d'fhága mé i mo dhiaidh
|
That I left behind
|
|
Mar gheall ar throid 's ar bhruíon
|
Because of a fight and a quarrel
|
|
'S ar rud éicint nárbh fhíor
|
And something that wasn't even true
|
|
Muise, óinseach caillí
|
Musha, a silly hag
|
|
'S iníon aici a bhí gan chiall
|
And her daughter that had no sense
|
|
|
|
|
'S chuirfinn, threabhfainn
|
I would plow and plant
|
|
'S chraithfinn an síol go domhain sa gcré
|
The seed deep in the soil
|
|
'S sheolfainn na beithígh sna páirceanna
|
And I would drive the cows to the fields
|
|
'S airde a fhásann féar
|
Where the tallest grass grows
|
|
Chuirfinn crú ar an each ba dheise
|
I would shoe a horse that was
|
|
'S ba lúfaire a shiúil riamh féar
|
The nicest and fastest ever
|
|
Ach d'éalódh bean le fear
|
And a woman would elope with a man
|
|
Nach ndéanfadh é sin féin
|
Who wouldn't even do that
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
