Ta me mo shui
|
(I am sitting)
|
|
Ta me mo shui o d`eirigh`n ghealach areir
|
Ag cur tein-e sios-go buan is a fado go gear
|
Ta bunadh a` ti `na lui is ta mise liom fein
|
Ta na coiligh ag glaoch `san saol `na gcodladh ach me
|
I am sitting up since the moon arose last night
|
Putting down a fire again and again and keeping it lit
|
The family is in bed and here am I by myself,
|
The cocks are crowing and the country is asleep but me.
|
|
`Sheacht mh`anam deag do bheal do mhala is do ghrua
|
Do shuil ghorm ghle-gheal far threig me sionnach na lub
|
Le cumha do dhiaidh ni leir dom an bealach a shiuil
|
Is a charaid mo chleibh ta na sleibhte `dul idir me`s tu
|
I love your mouth, your eyebrows and your cheeks
|
Your bright blue eyes for whose sake I stopped hunting the wily fox
|
In longing for you I cannot see to walk the road
|
Friend of my bosom, the mountains lie between me and you.
|
|
Deiridh lucht leinn gur claoite an galar an gra
|
Char admhaigh me e is e `ndiaidh mo chroi istigh a chra
|
Aicid ro-ghear, faraor nar sheachain me i
|
Is go gcuireann si arraing is cead go gear tri cheart-lar mo chroi
|
Learned men say that love is a fatal sickness
|
I never admitted it until now that my heart is broken:
|
It's a very painful illness, alas, I have not avoided it,
|
And it sends a hundred arrows through the core of my heart.
|
|
|
Casadh bean-tsi dom thios ag Lios Bheal an Átha
|
D`fhiafraigh me di an scaoilfeadh glas ar bith gra
|
Is e duirt si gos iseal i mbriathra soineannta saimh
|
"An gra a theid fan chroi ni scaoiltear as e go brath"
|
|
I met a fairy woman at the Rath of Beal an Atha
|
I asked her would any key unlock the love in my heart
|
And she said in soft simple language
|
"When love enters the heart it will never be driven from it".
