A Pheadair, a aspail, an bhfaca tú mo ghrá geal?
|
Peter, the apostle, have you seen my bright love?
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Chonaic mé ar ball é i láthair a namhad
|
I saw him a while ago in the midst of his enemies
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
|
|
|
Gabhaigi i leith, a dha Mhuire, go gcaoine sibh mo ghrá geal
|
Come to me, you two Marys, and keen with me
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Ceard atá le caoineadh ágainn mura gcaoinimid a chriámha?
|
What have we to keen without his bones?
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
|
|
|
An é sin an maicin a hoileadh in ucht Mháire?
|
Is that my child who I weened in my arms and nourished?
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Éist, a mháithrin, is na bí cráite
|
Listen, little mother, do not be sorrowful
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
|
|
|
A Leinbh, is mór é tualach is léig cuid de ar do Mháthair
|
My love, big is your burden, let your mother help you carry it
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Iompruíodh gach éinne a chrosa, a Mháithrin
|
Little mother, we each must carry our own cross
|
|
Ochóne is ochóne ó
|
Alas and alack
|
