English Translation

|
|
|
Tá crann úll gcoittnéal an ghairdín
|
There's an apple tree growing in the garden
|
|
Is súifimid síos no go gcuire siad an fál air
|
And we'll sit down, until they put the earth on it
|
|
Ar eagla go dtitfeadh 'n bunadh óg i ngrá leis
|
In case the local youth fall in love with it
|
|
|
|
|
Curfá

|
Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Bhogfaidh tusa
|
You will move
|
|
Bogfaidh mise
|
I will move
|
|
Is bogfaimid le chéile
|
And we will move together
|
|
Chraoibhín aoibhin aluinn ó
|
Oh beautiful, charming branches
|
|
|
|
|
B'fhearr liom an gabha' tá ag obair sa chéartan
|
I prefer the smith that is working in the workshop
|
|
Ag bualadh an t-ord go lúfair is go láidir
|
Hitting the hammer strongly and steadily
|
|
A shaothrú an scilling is a dolfadh dtí au tabhaime e
|
Earning his pay and drinking it in the tavern
|
|
|
|
|
B'fhearr liom an feirmeoir ag seoladh amach go h-aerach
|
I prefer the farmer herding happily
|
|
Maidin dheas san earrach le seisreach is péire
|
On a nice day in spring with a plow and gloves
|
|
Ag cromadh ar an obair 's ag tiontú an chreafóg
|
Applying himself to his work and turning earth
|
|
|
|
|
B'fhearr liom an t-iascaire amuigh ina bháidín
|
I prefer the fisherman out in his little boat
|
|
Ag cur a chuid eangach 's ag breith ar na bradáin
|
Casting his net and catching the salmon
|
|
Ag troid leis na tonnta o oíche go maidin
|
Fighting with the waves from morning until night
|
