A Mháirín de Barra
|
Máirín de Barra
|
|
Do mharaigh tú m'intinn
|
You have deadened my mind
|
|
Do chuir tú beo i dtalamh mé
|
And you have left me sad
|
|
I gan fhios do m' mhuintir
|
And destitute unknown to my people
|
|
Ar mo luí dhom ar mo leaba
|
As I lie on my bed
|
|
Is ort 'sea bhím ag cuimhneamh
|
It's about you I am thinking
|
|
Is ar m'éirí dhom ar maidin
|
And when I rise in the morning
|
|
Mar gur chealg tú an croí dom
|
for you have pierced the heart inside me
|
|
|
|
|
Do thugas is thugas
|
I gave and I gave
|
|
Is thugas ó m' chroí greann duit
|
And I gave love from my heart to you
|
|
Ar Dhomhnach Fhéile Mhuire
|
On Sunday, the feast of Candlemas
|
|
Na gCoinneal sa teampall
|
In the Church
|
|
Is do shúilín ba ghlaise
|
To your little eye that was greener
|
|
Ná uisce na ngeamhartha
|
Than the water on the blades of corn
|
|
Is do bhéilín ba bhinne
|
And to your little mouth that was sweeter
|
|
Ná an druid nuair a labhrann
|
Than the starling when it speaks
|
|
|
|
|
Do shíl mé tú a mhealladh
|
I thought I would coax you
|
|
Le briathra is le póga
|
With words and with kisses
|
|
Do shíl mé tú a mhealladh
|
I thought I would coax you
|
|
Le leabhair is le móide
|
With books and with oaths
|
|
Is do shíl mé tú a mhealladh
|
And I thought I would coax you
|
|
Ar bhreacadh na heornan
|
At the ripening of the barley
|
|
Ach d'fhag tú dubhach dealbh
|
But you left me sad and destitute
|
|
Ar theacht don bliain nua mé
|
At the coming of the new year
|
|
|
|
|
Is aoibhinn don talamh
|
It's delightful for the ground
|
|
Go siúlann tú féin air
|
On which you walk
|
|
Is aoibhinn don talamh
|
It's delightful for the instrument
|
|
An uair a sheineann tú bhéarsa
|
On which you play verses
|
|
Is aoibhinn don leaba
|
It's delightful for the bed
|
|
Ina luíonn tú fé éadach
|
On which you lie under blankets
|
|
Is aoibhinn don bhfear
|
And most delightful for the young man
|
|
A bheobhaidh tú mar chéile
|
Who will get you as his wife
|
|
|
|
|
A Mháirín, glac mo chomhairle
|
Máirín, accept my advice
|
|
Is ná seoltar tú ar taimhleas
|
And don't be led astray
|
|
Seachain an stróinse
|
Beware of the good-for-nothing
|
|
Fear séidte na hadhairce
|
The man who blows his horn
|
|
Gaibh leis an óigfhear
|
Go with the young man
|
|
A nglaonn sid Ó Floinn air
|
They call O'Flynn
|
|
Pós é de ghrá réitigh
|
Marry him for peace sake
|
|
Ós é toil le do mhuintir
|
Since that is the will of your people
|
|
|
|
|
Do shiúlfainn is do shiúlfainn
|
I'd walk and I'd walk
|
|
Is do shiúlfainn an saol leat
|
And I'd walk the world with you
|
|
Do raghainnse thar saile
|
I'd go over the sea with you
|
|
Gan dhá phingin spré leat
|
Without twopence of a dowry
|
|
Mo mhuintir 's mo cháirde
|
My people and my friends
|
|
Go brách brách do thréigfinn
|
Forever I'd abandon
|
|
Is go leigheasfá ón mbás mé
|
And you would rescue me
|
|
Ach a rá gur leat féin mé
|
From death just by saying I am yours
|
