|
A Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann
|
Sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann
|
|
Is sibh a thógfadh dom cian
|
It's you rise in my heart
|
|
Tráthnóna sa tsamhradh
|
On a fine summer's evening
|
|
Nuair a luíos an ghrian
|
As the sun departs
|
|
Nach aoibhinn do do chladaigh
|
How pleasant your strands
|
|
D'oiche is de ló
|
By night and by day
|
|
Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann
|
But sand hills of Ceann Dubhrann
|
|
Céad slan libh go deo
|
I must bid you farewell
|
|
|
|
|
Nach sna méilte udaí a chaith mé
|
'Twas in those bright hills
|
|
Seal aoibhinn gan ghruaim
|
I walked happy and free
|
|
Ag buachailleacht eallaigh
|
Herding white geese
|
|
Fá imeall an chuain
|
Near the rim of the sea
|
|
Is ann abogadh mo chliabhán
|
There I was rocked the cradle
|
|
Nuair a bhí mé beag óg
|
While I was a child
|
|
Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann
|
But sand hills of Ceann Dubhrann
|
|
Céad slan libh go deo
|
I bid you good-bye
|
|
|
|
|
Tá néaltaí na maidne
|
Fair clouds of the morning
|
|
Ag breacadh sa spéir
|
Now light up the sky
|
|
Tá na coiligh ag scairtigh
|
The cocks, they crow loud
|
|
Le bánú an lae
|
With the white dawn of day
|
|
Tá an soitheach ag fanacht
|
In the mist a ship waits
|
|
In imeall an cheo
|
Away out on the tide
|
|
Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann
|
Sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann
|
|
Céad slan libh go deo
|
I bid you good-bye
|
|
|
|
|
Nach trua mise amárach
|
Far out on the deep sea
|
|
Ag dul idir dhá dtír
|
Tomorrow I'll be
|
|
Agus sléibhte na coigríche
|
'Neath the high hills of exile
|
|
Ag cur cumha ar mo chroí
|
My heart will soon grieve
|
|
Beidh mo rosca mar shruthán
|
And down my two cheeks
|
|
Ag síorshileadh deor
|
The salt tears will fall
|
|
Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann
|
Sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann
|
|
Céad slan libh go deo
|
I bid you farewell
|
