|
|
Thíos cois na trá domh, in ndoimhneacht na h-oíche
|
Down by the beach, in the deep of night
|
|
An saol mhor ina gcodhladh, 's mise liom féin
|
The big world is sleeping, and I am alone
|
|
Na h-éanacha mara ag scairtigh go léanmhar
|
The sea-birds are calling sorrowfully
|
|
Cosúil le h-anamnacha bochta i bpéin
|
Like poor souls in pain
|
|
|
|
|
Ionlán gealaí 's iomlán rabharta
|
Total purity and total abundance
|
|
Aoibhneas 's ciúineas, 's áilleacht sa domhain
|
Bliss and calmness and beauty in the world
|
|
Crónán na fairrige ag dul siar ar mo chluasa
|
The murmur of the sea going into my ears
|
|
Bog-cheol an uisce ag sileadh sam abhainn
|
The soft song of the water flowing in the river
|
|
|
|
|
Istigh ar h-inseáin tá sean-reilig bheannaithe
|
Above on the headland there is a blessed old cemetery
|
|
An áit inar mhaireadh naoimh sam aimsir fadó
|
The place in which saints lived in times long ago
|
|
Tá daoine istigh ann ag chaith seal do h-aerach
|
There are people within spending a while carefree
|
|
Ní shiúlfaidh siad thar fán chladaigh níos mó
|
They will not walk around on the shore anymore
|
|
|
|
|
Bhuail uaigneas m'intinn 's mé ag amharc ar an reilig
|
Loneliness strikes my spirit as I look at the cemetery
|
|
'S mé ag meadhradh ar dhaoine istigh ann ina luí
|
And I'm thinking about the people in there sleeping
|
|
Fir a's mná óga, seandaoine 's páistí
|
Men and young women, old people and children
|
|
Muintir mo mhuintir 's cairde mo chroí
|
People of my people and friends of my heart
|
|
|
|
|
Tá no coiligh ag glaoch 's na réalta ag bánú
|
The cocks are crowing and the stars are fading
|
|
Tá an gealach ina luí 's ní fada go lá
|
The moon is setting and it's not long until day
|
|
Slán agat anois a shean-reilig bheannaithe
|
Good-bye now, blessed old cemetery
|
|
'S na daoine a shiúlfadh liom síos cois na trá
|
And to the people who walked with me down by the beach
|
