|
|
|
Ag fágáil Chonamara dhom
|
As I was leaving Connemara
|
|
Bhí ceo ar shlaibh ó thuaidh
|
The fog lay on the mountains to the north
|
|
An ceo a bhí ar mo chroí
|
The could that was on my heart
|
|
Níor ghlan sé dhíom go fóill
|
Has not lifted since
|
|
Le haer an tsaoil a d'imigh mé
|
The joys of the world attracted me
|
|
Is chonaic mé go leor
|
To travel far and wide
|
|
Is bhí tonnta Chonamara
|
But the waves of Connemara
|
|
Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
|
Left a wake between you and me
|
|
|
|
|
Cheap mise a stór go bhfillinn ort
|
I meant, my love, to return to you
|
|
Ach féach nach raibh sé i ndán
|
Although it was not to be
|
|
Mar líon an ghaoth na seolta
|
Because the wind filled the sails
|
|
Is thug sí mé ar fán
|
And took me far away
|
|
Bhí an long umhal don fharraige
|
The ship was faithful to the sea
|
|
Is sheol sí léi thar cionn
|
And smoothly sailed away
|
|
Is bhí tonnta Chonamara
|
While the waves of Connemara
|
|
Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
|
Left a wake between you and me
|
|
|
|
|
Má théann tú síos cois toinne
|
If you go down to the rocky shore
|
|
I gCladhnach glas ó thuaidh
|
To Cladhnach village beyond the sea
|
|
Ag tobar cois na farraige
|
To draw water from the well
|
|
Nach bhfuil rófhada ón mbruach
|
Close by the seashore
|
|
Breathnóidh tú ó dheas uait
|
You will look south, I'm sure
|
|
Ar na longa i bhfad ar gcúl
|
At the ships so far away
|
|
Is beidh tonnta Chonamara
|
While the waves of Connemara
|
|
Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
|
Roll between you and me
|
|
|
|
|
Má chloiseann tusa glaoch thar toinn
|
If you hear a call from over the sea
|
|
San oíche nó sa lá
|
At daytime or at night
|
|
Ar chapall bán a thoicfas mé
|
On a white horse I will be
|
|
Ní bheidh an dara húistéar ann
|
There to take you away
|
|
Má éalaíonn tú in éindí liom
|
If you run away with me
|
|
Go dtí an t-oileán álainn ard
|
To the beautiful noble isle
|
|
Is beidh tonnta Chonamara
|
And the waves of Connemara
|
|
Ag ceiliúradh ár ngrá
|
Will celebrate our love
|
