English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Is bean ón slua sí mé, do tháinig thar toinn
|
I am a woman from the fairy host who traveled over the seas
|
|
Is do goideadh san oíche me tamall thar lear
|
I was stolen in the night and taken beyond the sea
|
|
Is go bhfuilim as ríocht seo fé gheas' mná sídhe
|
And I am held hostage in the kingdom by the fairy women
|
|
Is ní bheidh ar an saol seo ach go nglaofaidh an coileach
|
And I can only be in this world until the moment the cock crows
|
|
Is caitheadsa féin tabhairt fá'n deis isteach
|
I know I have tasks to do here
|
|
Ni thaithneamh liom é ach caithfead tabhairt fé
|
Which I do not like but must comply with
|
|
Is caitheadsa féin tabhairt fén lios isteach
|
I must return to the fort and do not have anything to do
|
|
Is ná déinig aon ní leis an dream thíos sa leas
|
With this body of fairy people down in the fairy mound
|
