English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Is uaigneach mo shaol
|
My life is, unfortunately
|
|
Go gruama faraoir
|
Solitary and dark
|
|
'Mo thruaill bhocht gan siamsa 'tá mé
|
I'm only a poor man lacking fun
|
|
'S is brónach a bhím
|
Sad and lonely
|
|
Gan suaimhneas na hoích'
|
I spend my nights
|
|
Go buartha lag cloíte cráite
|
Weakness and grief have overcome me
|
|
|
|
|
'Sí 'n stuabhean gheal
|
That stunning woman
|
|
Chaoin a rinne gual de mo chroí
|
Turned my heart to coal
|
|
'S níl suairceas a choíce i ndán domh
|
And happiness will evade me forever
|
|
Ó luadh liom mar mhnaoi
|
Being still very young
|
|
Go luath 'dtús mo shaoil
|
I remained paired up
|
|
Mo chailín na gruaige báine
|
With the fair-haired girl
|
|
|
|
|
'S í bláth bán na gcraobh í
|
She's the white flower on the tree
|
|
Thug barr ar gach scéimh
|
The most beautiful of all
|
|
Le háilleacht le méid 's le breáchta
|
The most lovely of all of creation
|
|
'Sí d'fhág mé faoi léan
|
And she's left me suffering
|
|
'Sí chráigh mé gan bhréig
|
Totally devastated
|
|
'Gus tá 'fhios ag Mac Dé mo chás-sa
|
And the Son of God understands my situation
|
|
|
|
|
Dá bhfhaighinnse mo rogha
|
If it depended on me
|
|
Ó b'ansa liom é
|
How I would love
|
|
Bheith ar láimh leis a' speirbhean álainn
|
To be next to that beautiful woman
|
|
'S ní náire ar bith liom é
|
It wouldn't be unworthy
|
|
'S í grá geal mo chléibh
|
Since she's the one my heart desires
|
|
Mo chailín na gruaige báine
|
My fair-haired girl
|
|
|
|
|
Dá dtigeadh sí aris
|
If she came again
|
|
Ar cuairt chun mo thí
|
To visit my house
|
|
Nach mise bheadh aoibhiúil sásta
|
How happy and smiling I would feel
|
|
'S níl áit ar bith dár mhian léi
|
Wherever she liked
|
|
Nach mbainfinnse fúm
|
I would live
|
|
Ach cead 'fháil mo shaol a chaitheamh léi
|
As long as we could live together forever
|
|
|
|
|
Nach trua mise 'smaointiú
|
I'm completely up in smoke
|
|
Go domhain in mo chroí
|
Convinced in the end
|
|
Nach bhfeicim arís go brách í
|
That I will never see her again
|
|
Taím buartha bocht faoi chian
|
I'm heavy-hearted and sad
|
|
Is ní mhairfead beo bliain
|
And I won't even live a year
|
|
Gan cailín na gruaige báine
|
Without my fair-haired girl
|
