Clannad - Dheanainn Súgradh

Lyrics :	English Translation :

Sèist :	Chorus (after each verse) :
Dheanainn súgradh ris an nigh'n dubh	I'd have fun with the dark-haired maiden
'N deidh dhomb éirigh as a 'mhadainn	And rise early in the morning
Dheanainn súgradh ris an nigh'n dubh	I'd have fun with the dark-haired maiden

Dheanainn súgradh ris a' ghruagaich	I'd have fun with the lass
Nuair a bhiodh a' sluagh nan cadal	While the world would be sleeping

Dheanainn súgradh ris an am dúsgadh	I'd have fun with __
'N am na siúil a bhith 'gham pasgadh	When I should be folding the sail

Di-Luain an déidh Di-Domhnaich	On a Monday after Sunday
Dh'fhalbh sinn le Seònaid a Arcaibh	We left with Jane from Orkney

Bha muir gorm a'ruith fo cuinnlein	Blue sea was running under the stubble
'S i cur still a grunnd an aigeil	And sending torrents from the bottom of the abyss

Riof 'gha ceangal 's riof 'gha fuasgladh	A reef being tied and a reef being loosened
Muir ma guallain fuaim is fead oirr	The sea at her back noisy and whistling

Null ma Chaolas na Ròimh	There about the Strait of Rome
B'fheudar dhuinn am bòm a leaiseadh	We needed to lash the boom

Null ma Chaolas na Fraing	There about the Strait of France
Maide 'na làimh 's gaoth 'gha greasad	The stick was in the hand and the wind was driving

Gu 'm bithidh buill nach feum a splaghsáil	Oh there will be ropes that do not need splicing
Ar mo mhaighdean as a thigh'n dhachaidh	On my maiden coming home

Dh'fheumadh pòrsan thigh'n a búth dhith	You would need a portion coming from her shop
Ged a bhiodh e crún an cairteal	Although it was a crown a quarter

Ged a bhiodh e crún an óirleach	Although it would be a crown an inch
Dh'fheumadh pòrsan dheth thigh'n dhachaidh	You would need a portion of it coming home
