Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Ag meán oíche gabhaim siar don aill |
At midnight I go to the cliffs |
|
Ag lorg mo ghrá atá caillte |
Searching for my lost one |
|
Suím ar an charraig ag impí uirthi |
Sitting by the rocks and pleading |
|
Filleadh arais chugam ag baile |
For her to return home to me |
| |
|
|
Curfá: |
Chorus: |
|
Ó, mo chailín donn |
Oh my brown-haired girl |
|
Mo ghrá geal is mo chroí |
Bright love of my heart |
|
Fill arais go luath |
Come back soon |
|
Is bí liom arís |
And be with me again |
| |
|
|
Is fada í ar shiúl uaim |
It's a long time since she left |
|
Mo leanbh is mo stór aici |
With my child and my wealth |
|
Is trua gur cheil mé mo ghrá ort |
It is a pity I hid my love from her |
|
Mo chailín i bhfad ó mo thigh |
The one who is far from me |
| |
|
|
(Curfá) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Anios táim ag dul in aois |
Now I'm getting on in years |
|
Im' shui cois teallaigh liom féin |
Sitting alone by the hearth |
|
Ag smaoincamh ar 'n am atá thart |
Thinking of the days that I spent |
|
A chaitheas lem chailín donn |
With my brown-haired girl |
| |
|
|
Ó, mo chailín donn |
Oh my brown-haired girl |
|
Mo ghrá geal is mo chroí |
Bright love of my heart |
|
Fill arais go luath |
Come back soon |
|
Is bí liom |
And be with me |
| |
|
|
(Curfá) |
(Chorus) |
