Ta Me 'Mo Shui - Altan

Tá mé 'mo shuí

Ó d'éirigh an ghealach aréir

Ag cur teineadh síos gan scíth

'S á fadú go géar

Tá bunadh a' tí 'na luí

'S tá mise liom féin

Tá na coiligh ag glaoch

'S tá 'n saol ina gcodladh ach mé

Sheacht mh’anam déag do bhéal

Do mhalaí 's do ghrua

Do shúil ghorm ghlé gheal

Fá'r thréig mé aiteas is suairc

Le cumhaidh i do dhiaidh ní léir dom

An bealach a shiúl

Is a charaid mo chléibh

Tá na sléibhte ag gabháil idir mé 's tú

Deireann lucht léinn

Gur cloíte an galar an grá

Char admhaigh mé é nó go raibh sé

'Ndiaidh mo chroí 'stigh a chrá

Aicíd ró-ghéar, faraor

Nár sheachnaigh mé í

Chuir sí arraing 's céad go géar

Fríd cheartlár mo chroí

Casadh bean sí domh thíos

Ag Lios Bhéal an Áth'

'S d’fhiafraigh mé díthe

An scaoilfeadh glais ar bith grá

'Sé dúirt sí os íseal

I mbriathra soineanta sámh

Nuair a théann sé fán chroí

Cha scaoiltear as é go brách

I'm sitting

Since the moon rose last night

Putting fire down without rest

And sharply lengthening

The origins of the house lie

And I'm alone

The cocks are crowing

And life is asleep but me

Seventeen souls for your mouth

Your eyebrows and cheeks

Your bright blue eye

For I have forsaken the most eloquent itch

With nostalgia behind you it is not clear to me

The way to walk

He is my best friend

The mountains are between me and you

Scholars say

Love is plagued by disease

I did not admit it or it was

'After my heart' in his torment

Acute disease, alas

I did not avoid her

She sighed sharply

Through the heart of my heart

She turns to me below

At Lis Ballina '

And I asked her out

Would any locks release love

'She said softly

In peaceful hazy verbs

When it goes to the heart

It will never be released
