English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
A Róisín, ná bíodh brón ort
|
Little Rose, be not sad
|
|
Fár éiri duit
|
For all that hath behapped thee
|
|
Tá na bráithre ag teacht thar sáile
|
The friars are coming across the sea
|
|
Is iad ag triall ar muir
|
They march on the main
|
|
Tiocfaidh do phárdún ón bPápa
|
From the Pope shall come thy pardon
|
|
Is ón Róimh anoir
|
And from Rome, from the East
|
|
Is ní spárálfar fíon Spáinneach
|
And stint not Spanish wine
|
|
Ar mo Róisín dubh
|
To my Little Dark Rose
|
|
|
|
|
Ó mhearaigh tú mé, a bhradóg
|
Thou hast slain me, oh my bride
|
|
Is nár ba fearrde dhuit
|
And may it serve thee no whit
|
|
Is go bhfuil m'anam istigh i ngean ort
|
For the soul within me loveth thee
|
|
Is ní inné ná inniu
|
Not since yesterday nor today
|
|
Ó d'fhág tú lag anbhann mé
|
Thou has left me weak and broken
|
|
I ngné is i gcruth
|
In mien and in shape
|
|
Ná feall orm is mé i gnean ort
|
Betray me not who love thee
|
|
A Róisín Dubh
|
My Little Dark Rose
