|
|
Tá gealach na gconnlach ag éirí sa spéir
|
The harvest moon is rising into the sky
|
|
'S grian bhuí an Fhómhair ag tomadh sa weir
|
And autumn's yellow sun is setting over the weir
|
|
Tá na beachógaí 'dranndián sa tsean duilliúr donn
|
The young bees hum amid the old brown leaves
|
|
Tá Gaoth Barra na g'Coillte, Gaoth Barra na d'Tonn
|
In Gaoth Barra of the Woods, Gaoth Barra of the Waves
|
|
|
|
|
Tá na ba óga geimní 'nuas mhallí chró lí?
|
The young winter cattle come slowly down to the fold
|
|
Sna caoirigh ag meidhlí le druidim na hoich'
|
And the sheep frolic at the approach of the night
|
|
Tá geal gháir na sruthan fán screagach anonn
|
The wandering stream laughs and shouts
|
|
Tá Gaoth Barra na g'Coillte, Gaoth Barra na d'Tonn
|
In Gaoth Barra of the Woods, Gaoth Barra of the Waves
|
|
|
|
|
Ina sruth uisce cheolmhar tá na bradáin a'sceith
|
In the musical waters of the river lurks the salmon
|
|
'S thart fa na himill tá an fhuiseog a breith
|
And nearby the lark makes her nest
|
|
Tig na héanlaith na scaoth ann an druideog san lon
|
Come the birds of the flock, the starling and the blackbird
|
|
Mar tá dideán gan doicheall fá Gaoth Barra na d'Tonn
|
To your refuge unstinting Gaoth Barra of the Waves
|
|
|
|
|
'S gímse Pádraig agus Naomh Chonaill caol
|
I pray to St. Patrick and St. Conal
|
|
Nach n-iarraim aon Fhlairheas i ndeireadh mo shaoil
|
I ask but one boon at the end of my life
|
|
Ach m'anam bheith seoladh fá'n duilliúr donn
|
That my soul should reside among the brown leaves
|
|
Tá ag fás fa do chladaí a Gaoth Barra na d'Tonn
|
That grow thick on your shores, Gaoth Barra of the Waves
|
