Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Mise ag faire san oíche |
I'm keeping watch in the night |
|
San oíche fada chiúin |
In the long, quiet night |
|
Tusa id' luí id' leaba |
You're asleep in your bed |
|
Id' chodladh fada suan |
In a long, soft sleep |
| |
|
|
D'imigh tú trasna na tonnta uaim |
You went over the waves, away from me |
|
Is ní maith liom 'bheith anseo liom féin |
And I don't like being here alone |
|
Tusa mo ghealach 's mo grian i bhfad i gcéin |
You are my moon and my sun, far away |
| |
|
|
Uaigneas, gan blaiseadh do bhéilín meala |
Loneliness, without the taste of your lips of honey |
|
Is áilleacht gheal do ghnúis |
And the bright beauty of your face |
|
Mise ag feitheamh gan chiall led' theacht |
I foolishly await your return |
|
Agus mé ag sileadh súl |
And my tears fall |
| |
|
|
Tusa id' leaba shíoraí anocht |
You're in your eternal bed tonight |
|
Faoi chré 'tá dorcha dlúth |
Under clay, dark and dense |
|
Glaoim anocht is gach oíche ort |
I call to you tonight and every night |
|
Fill ar ais arís, a rún |
Return again, my love |
|
Sinne a bheidh scartha ón a chéile anois go buan |
We will now be separated from each other forever |
