|
|
|
Thíos i lár an ghleanna
|
Down in the middle of the glen
|
|
Tráthnóna beag aréir
|
Late yesterday evening
|
|
Agus an drúcht 'na dheora geala
|
And there were white drops of dew
|
|
Ina luí ar bharr an fhéir
|
Lying on top of the grass
|
|
'S ea casadh domhsa an ainnir
|
I met a maiden who had
|
|
Ab áille gnúis is pearsa
|
The prettiest face and personality
|
|
'S í sheol mo stuaim chun seachráin
|
She made my good sense go astray
|
|
Tráthnóna beag aréir
|
Late yesterday evening
|
|
|
|
|
Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín
|
And God, how pleasant our behavior was
|
|
'Gabháil síos an gleann aréir
|
Going down the glen last night
|
|
Ag éalú fríd an chanach
|
Stealing through the cotton-grass
|
|
Agus ciúineas ins an spéir
|
And there was silence in the sky
|
|
A rún mo chléibh nár mhilis
|
Love of my heart, wasn't our
|
|
Ár súgradh croí 's nár ghairid
|
Heart-playing sweet and short?
|
|
Ó 's a Rí na glóire gile
|
Oh King of the bright glory
|
|
Tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir
|
Bring back last night
|
|
|
|
|
Dá bhfaighinnse arís cead pilleadh
|
If I got permission to return
|
|
Agus labhairt le stór mo chléibh
|
And to speak to the love of my heart
|
|
Nó dá bhrfaighinnse buaidh ar chinniúint
|
Or if I got the better of destiny
|
|
Cér mhiste liom fán tsaol?
|
What would I care about life?
|
|
Shiúlfainn leat fríd chanach
|
I'd walk with you through cotton-grass
|
|
Is fríd mhéilte ar chiumhais na mara
|
And through dunes by the edge of the sea
|
|
Agus dúiche Dé dá gcaillfinn
|
And God's land I'd lose
|
|
Go bpógfainnse do bhéal
|
If I could kiss your mouth
|
|
|
|
|
Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín
|
And God, how pleasant our behavior was
|
|
'Gabháil síos an gleann aréir
|
Going down the glen last night
|
|
Ag éalú fríd an chanach
|
Stealing through the cotton-grass
|
|
Agus ciúineas ins an spéir
|
And there was silence in the sky
|
|
A rún mo chléibh nár mhilis
|
Love of my heart, wasn't our
|
|
Ár súgradh croí 's nár ghairid
|
Heart-playing sweet and short?
|
|
Ó 's a Rí na glóire gile
|
Oh King of the bright glory
|
|
Tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir
|
Bring back last night
|
