Chorus
:
|
|
An raibh tu riamh i nGarráin a Bhile?
|
Have you ever been in Garráin a Bhile?
|
|
No an bhfaca tu í i nGarráin a Bhile?
|
Or have you seen her there in Garráin a Bhile?
|
|
An t-suairc bhean óg, na gcuacha óir
|
The beautiful young girl with the curly golden locks
|
|
'S i Cáit mo stór i nGarráin a Bhile
|
She's my darling Kate in Garráin a Bhile
|
|
|
|
|
Is gile í na eala air linn
|
She's brighter than the swan on the lake
|
|
'S na sneachd air bharr na craoibhe cruinne
|
Or the snow atop the round trees
|
|
'S is mils' a póg na drucht air rós
|
Her kiss is sweeter than the dew on the rose
|
|
'S i Cáit mo stór i nGarráin a Bhile
|
She's my darling Kate in Garráin a Bhile
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Is binn a ceol na lon's na smeol
|
Her song is more melodious than a blackbird or thrush
|
|
'S na filí meol air chraobh na sáile
|
Or than the sweet words of the poets by the side of the sea
|
|
Mar long faoi sheol air thonn gan ceo
|
Like a ship under sail, clear over the waves
|
|
'Sea chím mo stór i nGarráin a Bhile
|
That's how I see my love in Garráin a Bhile
|
|
|
|
|
Chugatsa a Chríost, le fonn mo ghui
|
To you, oh Lord, I sing my prayerful
|
|
Ma tá aon bhrí i nguí an fhile
|
If thereÂ’s any meaning in the prayer of a poet
|
|
Gan cháin gan chíos, gan phráin gan dith
|
I pray that Kate and her family are free from the rent demands
|
|
Go raibh Cáit's a buíon i nGarráin a Bhile
|
Safe and without troubles in Garráin a Bhile
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
