Tá mé mo shuí ­
(I am sitting)

Tá mé mo shuí ­ ó d`éirigh`n ghealach aréir
Ag cur tein-e sí ­os-go buan is á fadó go géar
Tá bunadh a` tí ­ `na luí ­ is tá mise liom féin
Tá na coiligh ag glaoch `san saol `na gcodladh ach mé
I am sitting up since the moon arose last night
Putting down a fire again and again and keeping it lit
The family is in bed and here am I by myself,
The cocks are crowing and the country is asleep but me.

`Sheacht mh`anam déag do bhéal do mhala is do ghrua
Do shúil ghorm ghlé-gheal fár thréig mé sionnach na lúb
Le cumha do dhiaidh ní ­ léir dom an bealach a shiúil
Is a charaid mo chléibh tá na sléibhte `dul idir mé`s tú
I love your mouth, your eyebrows and your cheeks
Your bright blue eyes for whose sake I stopped hunting the wily fox
In longing for you I cannot see to walk the road
Friend of my bosom, the mountains lie between me and you.

Deiridh lucht léinn gur claoite an galar an grá
Char admhaigh mé é is é `ndiaidh mo chroí ­ istigh a chrá
Aicid ró-ghéar, faraor nár sheachain mé í ­
Is go gcuireann sí ­ arraing is céad go géar trí ­ cheart-lár mo chroí ­
Learned men say that love is a fatal sickness
I never admitted it until now that my heart is broken:
It's a very painful illness, alas, I have not avoided it,
And it sends a hundred arrows through the core of my heart.

Casadh bean-tsí ­ dom thí ­os ag Lios Bhéal an Átha
D`fhiafraigh mé di an scaoilfeadh glas ar bith grá
Is é dúirt sí ­ gos í ­seal i mbriathra soineannta sáimh
"An grá a théid fán chroí ­ ní ­ scaoiltear as é go bráth"

I met a fairy woman at the Rath of Beal an Atha
I asked her would any key unlock the love in my heart
And she said in soft simple language
"When love enters the heart it will never be driven from it".
