Citi Ni Eadhra - Altan

S a Chití Ní Eadhra

Nach náir mar a d’imigh tú uaim

'S an chroí atá 'mo lár

Gur fhág tú chomh dubh leis an ghual

Ní iarrfainn aon spás ar an Ard Rí

'Sna Flaitheas anuas

Ach cead troda leis an bhás

Gach lá sular imigh tú uaim

'S tá dhá cheann an tí

'Na luí 'tá'n lár gan dóigh

Ó d’imigh an bhean chaoin

Faraor, a bhí soineanta cóir

Níor fhan sí agam ach trí ráithe

Amháin bhí ba ghiorra ná an uair

Óch nach é mo léan géar

Gur fágadh í sínte san uaigh

Is a Chití, mo mhian

Nach aoibhinn duitse bheith ar lár

Atá i bhFlaitheas na Naomh

'Bhfuil na mílte anam gan smál

Is chan mar a bímse 'tá guí

'S ag osnaí gach tráth

Nó i dTalamh na Naomh

Atá rogha mo charaid thar mhná

S a Chití Ní Eadhra

Shame on you for leaving me

The heart is in my heart

That you left as black as coal

I would not ask the High King for any space

In the Heavens past

But let's fight to the death

Every day before you left me

And there are two ends of the house

'Don't lie' the middle is unlikely

Since the crying woman is gone

Sadly, that was hazy fair

She only stayed with me for three quarters

One was shorter than the hour

Oh that's not my bitter sorrow

That she was left lying in the grave

Kitty is my wish

Wouldn't it be lovely for you to be missing out

Who is in the Heaven of Saints

'There are thousands of immaculate souls

It's not how I 'pray

And sighing all the time

Or in the Land of the Saints

Which is my friend's choice over women
