|
|
Ag úirchill a' chreagáin
|
By Creggan Graveyard
|
|
Sea chodail mise 'réir faoi bhrón
|
I slept last night in sorrow
|
|
Is le héirí na maid'ne
|
At daybreak
|
|
Tháinig ainnir fá mo dhéin le póig
|
I was kissed by a young woman
|
|
Bhí gríosghrua garth' aici
|
With flaming cheeks
|
|
'Gus loinhir ina ciabh mar ór
|
And a golden luster in her hair
|
|
'S ba é íochshláinte 'n domhain
|
One look of her
|
|
A bheith 'g amharc ar a' ríoghan oig
|
Would cure all the world's ills
|
|
|
|
|
A fhiafhir charthanaigh
|
My kind young man
|
|
Ná caitear thusa 'néalta
|
Do not sleep in sorrow
|
|
Ach éirigh go tapaidh
|
But rise swiftly
|
|
Agus aistrigh liom siar sa ród
|
And come along the road with me
|
|
Go tír dheas na meala
|
To the land of honey
|
|
Nach bhfuair galla intí réim go fóill
|
Where the foreigner has no hold
|
|
'S gheobhair aoibhneas
|
Where you will find happiness
|
|
Ar hallí 'mo mhealladhsa le siamsa ceoil
|
Enticing me with sweet music
|
|
|
|
|
A ríoghan is deise
|
Oh sweet princess
|
|
'N tú hélen fa'r treagh slóigh
|
Are you Helen that transfixed the horde
|
|
No dó na naoi mná deasa
|
Or one of the nine fine women
|
|
Pharnassus thú 'bhí déanta gcló?
|
From Parnassus made in such form?
|
|
Cé'n tír ins a' chruinne
|
Which land in the world
|
|
'N ar hoileadh tú, a réalt gan cheo
|
Would hold you, oh star without cloud
|
|
Le'r mian leat mo shamhrhailsa
|
That you want my sort
|
|
Bheith 'cogarnaigh leat siar sa ród?
|
Whispering with you back in the road?
|
