|
Mo bheannacht óm' chroí |
My heartfelt blessings |
Dod' thir 's dod' shléibhte |
On your valleys and mountains |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
Is dod' mhuintir shuairc |
And on your cheeful people |
Ar dual dóibh féile |
So naturally kind |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
Do shrutháin gheala |
On your shining streams |
'S do choillte craobhach |
And your leafy woodlands |
Do ghleannta meala |
Your honeyed slopes |
'S do bhánta léire |
And your gleaming meadows |
Ó grá mo chroí |
My heart fills with love |
Iad siúd le chéile |
For all of them surely |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
|
|
Is dathúil breá |
Your rugged peaks |
Do chruacha scéimchruth |
Are a handsome sight |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
Nuair a lasaid suas |
As the rising sun |
Le hamharc gréine |
Sets them aflame |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
Na faillte 's leacain |
Cliffs and steep slopes |
Ar gach taobh diot |
In every direction |
Mar bhrata sróil |
Like a satin weave |
Le seolta gleásta |
From a magic loom |
Nuair a scaipeann an drúcht |
As the dew falls |
Anuas ón spéir ort |
From the heavens high |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
|
|
Do bhíos thar sáile |
I was a while away |
Seal i gcéin uait |
From your beauty |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
I ndúthaigh fáin |
Slaving so hard |
Ag déanamh saoithair |
In a foreign land |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
Ach b'obair tháir liom |
Base work it was |
Cnuasach gréithre |
Just making a living |
I bhfad óm' ait |
Far from my home |
Fé scáil do shléibhte |
'Neath the shade of your mountains |
Is chas mé arís ort |
So I came back to you |
A phlúr na nDéise |
The flower of the Déise |
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó |
Sweet Comeragh |
