|
|
|
|
|
Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an fhoghmhair
|
On the green stubble-fields of autumn
|
|
A stóirín gur dhearc mé uaim
|
I saw you, my sweetheart
|
|
Ba deas do chos i mbróig
|
Nice were your feet in shoes
|
|
'Sba ró-dheas do leagan siubhail
|
And wonderful your nimble gait
|
|
Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rósaí
|
Your hair the color of roses
|
|
'Sdo chúirníní bhí fighte dlúith
|
And your ringlets tightly plaited
|
|
Monuar gan sinn 'ár bpósadh
|
Alas that we're not married
|
|
Nó'r bórd luinge 'triall 'un siubhail
|
Or on board ship sailing away
|
|
|
|
|
Tá buachaillí na h-áite seo
|
The boys around here are
|
|
A' gartha 'gus ag éirghe teann
|
Complaining and getting fired up
|
|
Is lucht na gcochán árd
|
And the ones with the high-piled hair
|
|
A' deánamh fáruis do mo chailín donn
|
Are making homes for my brown-haired girl
|
|
Dá ngluaiseadh Rí na Spáinne
|
If the King of Spain would
|
|
Thar sáile 's a shlóighte cruinn
|
Go abroad with his assembled men
|
|
Bhrúighfinn féar is fásach
|
I would trample pasture and wilderness
|
|
'S bhéinn ar láimh le mo chailín donn
|
And I would be with my brown-haired girl
|
|
|
|
|
Ceannacht buaibh ar aontaigh'
|
If only my brown-haired girl and I
|
|
Dá mbínn agus mo chailín donn
|
Were buying cows at the fair
|
|
Gluais is tar a chéad-searc
|
Go and come first love
|
|
Nó go dtéidh muid thar Ghaoth-Bearra 'nonn
|
Until we go over to Gaoth-Bearra
|
|
Go sgartar ó n-a chéile
|
Even if the tops of the branches were parted
|
|
Bárr na gcraobh 's an eala ón tuinn
|
And the swan were separated from the waves
|
|
Ní sgarfar sin ó chéile
|
That would not separate us
|
|
'S níl ach baois díbh á chur 'n mur gcionn
|
And those who go against us are foolish
|
