|
Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir |
Going down the glen yesterday afternoon |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir |
The dew lying on the top of the grass |
|
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh |
All the world asleep |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
Gan baol ar bith go maidin |
No danger at all 'til morning |
| |
|
|
Dúrún an dúiche seo |
The mystery of this land |
|
Ó ghlúin go glúin |
From generation to generation |
|
Lonad mar fhís sa cheo |
A place like a dream vision in the fog |
|
Rún go ciúin |
A quiet secret |
| |
|
|
Sé cumhacht na gcrann fan áit |
The power of the trees there |
|
'Spreag na baird 'san fhilíocht |
Inspired the bards to their poetry |
|
Na clocha 'tá coisbicthe fan árd |
The stones that are blessed under the heavens |
| |
|
|
Thíos fá gleann dá locha |
Down by Glendalough |
|
I dtobar i dúin |
In a well in a fort |
|
Gartan cholmcille |
The hospitality of Colmcille |
|
Sin go lá a'luain |
Will be until Judgment Day |
| |
|
|
Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir |
Going down the glen yesterday afternoon |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir |
The dew lying on the top of the grass |
|
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh |
All the world asleep |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir |
The dew lying on the top of the grass |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
Gan baol ar bith go maidin |
No danger at all 'til morning |
| |
|
|
Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir |
Going down the glen yesterday afternoon |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir |
The dew lying on the top of the grass |
|
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh |
All the world asleep |
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
Gan baol ar bith go maidin |
No danger at all 'til morning |
| |
|
|
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh |
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain |
|
Gan baol ar bith go maidin... |
No danger at all 'til morning... |
