|
|
Cé tú féin, a strainséar chaoin?
|
Who are you, kind stranger?
|
|
Cé tú féin?
|
Who are you?
|
|
An lách no dian
|
Are you gentle or aggressive
|
|
Do bhuille thréan?
|
Since your traumatic ordeal?
|
|
Cé tú féin?
|
Who are you?
|
|
Ar tháinig tú ó i bhfad gcéin?
|
And did you come from far away?
|
|
Aniar aduaidh, anoir aneas?
|
From west from north, from east from south?
|
|
Ar tháinig tú ó fuacht nó teas?
|
Did you come from cold or from heat?
|
|
Cé tú féin?
|
Who are you?
|
|
|
|
|
Tar isteach, a strainséar righin
|
Come in, tense stranger
|
|
Tar isteach
|
Come in
|
|
Suí chun boird
|
Sit by the table
|
|
Ól braon di
|
Have a drink
|
|
Nó lig do scíth
|
Or have a rest
|
|
'S inis dúinn an fáth go bhfuil
|
And tell us the reason why
|
|
Do aghaidh chiúin uaigneach dorcha
|
Your quiet face is dark and lonely
|
|
An fáth go bhfuil do shúile lán le cuamha
|
Why your eyes are full of sadness
|
|
|
|
|
Cé tú féin?...
|
Who are you?...
|
|
|
|
|
'S im' chuisle
|
In my pulse
|
|
I gcuideachta órga 's draíochta
|
In magical, golden company
|
|
Im' lorg i leabaidh
|
In my footstep, in beds
|
|
I leabhar mór gach míosa
|
In the great book of every months
|
|
Ní thagaim níor tháinig mé riamh
|
I don't arrive or ever come upon
|
|
Ar an ní a bhí uaim
|
What's essential for my needs
|
|
|
|
|
'S i ngleannta
|
And in valleys
|
|
I gcoillte le scaipeadh na síolta
|
In forests with the scattering of seeds
|
|
Mé thuas seal 's thíos seal
|
I fill with hope and then deposit
|
|
Le suaitheadh gach oíche
|
With each night's storm
|
|
Ní bhraithim níor bhraith mé riamh
|
I don't feel and I have never felt
|
|
An ní a bhí uaim
|
What's essential for my needs
|
|
|
|
|
Slán agat, a strainséar chaoin
|
And good-bye, gentle stranger
|
|
Slán agat
|
Good-bye for now
|
|
'S guíom gach rath
|
And I wish you every success
|
|
'S sonas ort amach anseo
|
And happiness from here on in
|
|
'S beidh fáilte romhat 'riamh i m' chroí
|
And you will always be welcome inside this heart
|
|
Cé uaigneach cé sonasach
|
Whether lonely, whether happy
|
|
Cé meangadh mór na gréine ar do aghaidh
|
Whether the sun's wide smile is on your face
|
