|
Bhí mé lá breá samhraidh
|
One fine summer's day
|
|
I mo sheasamh ar an mhargadh
|
As I stood there in the marketplace
|
|
'S is iomaí fear a dúirt liom
|
Many a young man remarked
|
|
"Monuar, gan tú sa bhaile agam"
|
"I'm sad you're not at home with me"
|
|
|
|
|
Curfá

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
A stór, a stór, a ghrá
|
A stór, a stór, my love
|
|
A stór, a stór, an dtiocfaidh tú?
|
A stór, a stór, will you come with me?
|
|
A stór, a stór, a ghrá
|
A stór, a stór, my love
|
|
An dtiocfaidh tú nó an bhfanfaidh tú?
|
Will you come with me or settled be?

|
Ní raibh a culaith déanta
|
Her wedding dress not ready
|
|
Agus sin an rud a choinnigh í
|
Delayed her in joining me
|
|
|
|
|
Gheall mo ghrá domsa
|
My true love promised kindly
|
|
Cinnte go dtiocfadh sí
|
That she would surely come with me
|
|
Ní raibh a culaith déanta
|
Her wedding dress not ready
|
|
Agus sin an rud a choinnigh í
|
Delayed her in joining me
|
|
|
|
|
Tá an t-uisce ag teacht ón Éirne
|
We've got water from the Eirne
|
|
Is tá an féar ag teacht ó neamh chugainn
|
And green grass from the heaven's stems
|
|
Tá utha na mba á réabadh ar mhéid
|
Cow's udders are near rending
|
|
Is 'tá de bhainne acu
|
From the overflow of milk in them
|
|
|
|
|
Thart tóin an gharraí, a Mháire
|
By the bottom of the garden, oh Mary
|
|
Bhfuil an fhidil leat?
|
Is the fiddle there?
|
|
Aicearra na bprátaí go dtéimid
|
The shortcut by the praties
|
|
'Sair an fhidileoir
|
We'll hasten to the fiddler
|
|
|
|
|
Bhí mise lán den tsaol
|
At one time in my life
|
|
Is bhí cion amuigh is istigh orm
|
I was dearly loved by everyone
|
|
Nach mór a d'athraigh an saol
|
Haven't times changed a lot
|
|
Nuair nach bhfuil cion ag duine ar bith orm?
|
When no one cares a whit for me?
|
