English Translation
:
|
|
|
|
|
Tá mé mo shuí
|
I am sitting up
|
|
Ó d'éirigh'n ghealach aréir
|
Since the moon arose last night
|
|
Ag cur tein-e síos-go buan
|
Putting down a fire again
|
|
Is á fadó go géar
|
And again and keeping it lit
|
|
Tá bunadh a' tí 'na luí
|
The family is in bed
|
|
Is tá mise liom féin
|
And here am I by myself
|
|
Tá na coiligh ag glaoch
|
The cocks are crowing
|
|
'San saol 'na gcodladh ach mé
|
And the country is asleep but me
|
|
|
|
|
'Sheacht mh'anam déag do bhéal
|
I love your mouth
|
|
Do mhala is do ghrua
|
Your eyebrows and your cheeks
|
|
Do shúil ghorm ghlé-gheal
|
Your bright blue eyes
|
|
Fár thréig mé sionnach na lúb
|
For which I stopped hunting the wily fox
|
|
Le cumha do dhiaidh ní léir dom
|
In longing for you I cannot see
|
|
An bealach a shiúil
|
To walk the road
|
|
Is a charaid mo chléibh
|
Friend of my bosom
|
|
Tá na sléibhte 'dul idir mé's tú
|
The mountains lie between me and you
|
|
|
|
|
Casadh bean-tsí dom thíos
|
I met a fairy woman
|
|
Ag Lios Bhéal an Átha
|
At the Rath of Beal an Atha
|
|
D'fhiafraigh mé di
|
I asked her would any key
|
|
An scaoilfeadh glas ar bith grá
|
Unlock the love in my heart
|
|
Is é dúirt sí gos íseal
|
And she said
|
|
I mbriathra soineannta sáimh
|
In soft, simple language
|
|
"An grá a théid fán chroí
|
"When love enters the heart
|
|
Ní scaoiltear as é go bráth"
|
It will never be driven from it"
|
