A Neansai, 'mhile gra, a bhruinneall 'ta gan smal
|
|
Go bhfeice mise'n t-adh 'gus an sean ort
|
|
Ba ghile do dha laimh na cur geal na tra
|
|
Na'n eala 's i a' snamh ar an Eirne
|
|
Is glaise liom do shuil na braon beag den drucht
|
|
Is binne liomsa tu na na teadai
|
|
'S mur' n-ealai tusa liomsa titfidh me i lionndubh
|
|
'Gus cuirfear insa chill 'do dheidh me
|
|
|
|
Is iomai sin guth mna a chluinimse 'ngach aird
|
|
Abhus agus taobh thall den Eirne
|
|
Go Corcaigh na gCuan 's go Beal Ath' na Sluaigh
|
|
'Si Neansai 'thug bua ar a' meid sin
|
|
A Mhuire 'gus a Dhia, narbh aoibhinn deas e'r saol
|
|
Da mbeinnse agus i le cheile?
|
|
Trathnona aoibhinn ciuin, o mise 'gus mo run
|
|
Ag cogarnail ar uaigneas sleibhe
|
|
|
|
Beir litir uaimse suas chuig Neansai chaoin na gcuach
|
|
Is aithris di gur buartha ata me
|
|
Aithris di aris nach gcodlaim fein aon oiche
|
|
Le harraing ata tri mo thaobh deas
|
|
Aithris e da suil, aithris e da cul
|
|
Aithris e da mein mhaith cheilli
|
|
Aithris e da ceann 's da beilin ata binn
|
|
Gur ghiorraigh si go cinnte mo laetha'
|
|
|
Translation
|
Rise up, ye stalwart men
|
|
And put the pitch alight on your torch sticks
|
|
Vanquish those who would do us evil
|
|
And establish the rule of France
|
|
And oh woman of the house, what ails you?
|
|
Oh woman of the house, in two years or three
|
|
From this year out the land will be rent free
|
|
And oh woman of the house, what ails you?
|
|
Here's a jug on the table and the beer's coming
|
|
And the Duke of York has sufficient arms
|
|
The French and the Spaniards at the shore's edge
|
|
And how bitter that is than woman's chatter
|
|
Alas and alack when I was young
|
|
Two years old and no evil thought in my mind
|
|
That I didn't join the King's navy or army
|
|
Instead of spending my life looking after you
|
|
|
May my back be broken under this weight
|
|
If I ever come back to bring you sorrow
|
|
And so many women from here to the Blackwater River
|
|
That would go along the road with me and have a drink
|
