Original text with translation
Altan
Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thrÃ(c)ig tú an greann
(You seem to be pining and forsaking the fun)
Tá an sneachta go freasach fá bhÃ(c)al na mbeann'
(The snowdrifts are heavy by the fords in the burn)
Do chúl buà daite is do bhÃ(c)ilÃn sámh
(Your bright golden tresses and smile gentle and mild)
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's à 'ndiaidh an Ã^irne 'shnámh
(I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide)
A mháithrÃn mhilis duirt Máire Bhán
(«Darling mother,» cries Máire Bhán)
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhÃ(c)al na trá
(From the banks of the ocean and down by the tide)
Maighdean mhara mo mhaithrÃn ard
(«Mermaid, my mother, my pride»)
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's à 'ndiaidh an Ã^irne 'shnámh
(I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide)
Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh go lá
(I'm tired and weary and will be 'til dawn)
Mo Mháire bhroinngheal 's mo Phádraig bán
(For my darling Mary and my Pádraid bán)
Ar bharr na dtonna 's fá bhÃ(c)al na trá
(As I ride on the billows and drift with the tide)
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's à 'ndiaidh an Ã^irne 'shnámh
(I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide)
