|
|
Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thréig tú an greann
|
It seems that you have faded away and abandoned the love of life
|
|
Tá an sneachta go freasach fá bhéal na mbeann'
|
The snow is spread about at the mouth of the point
|
|
Do chúl buí daite 's do bhéilín sámh
|
Your yellow flowing hair and little gentle mouth
|
|
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh is í ndiaidh an Éirne shnámh
|
We give you Mary Chinidh to swim forever in the Erne
|
|
|
|
|
"A mháithrín mhilis" duirt Máire bhán
|
"My dear mother," said blonde Mary
|
|
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhéal na trá
|
By the edge of the shore and the mouth of the sea
|
|
"Maighdean mhara mo mháithrín ard"
|
"My noble mother is a mermaid"
|
|
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh is í ndiaidh an Éirne shnámh
|
We give you Mary Chinidh to swim forever in the Erne
|
|
|
|
|
Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh go lá
|
I am tired and will be forever
|
|
Mo Mháire bhruinneall 's mo Phádraig bán
|
My fair Mary and my blond Patrick
|
|
Ar bharr na dtonnta 's fá bhéal na trá
|
On top of the waves and by the mouth of the sea
|
|
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh is í ndiaidh an Éirne shnámh
|
We give you Mary Chinidh to swim forever in the Erne
|
