Chorus (after each verse): |
|
'Se mo laoch mo ghile mear |
He is my hero, my dashing darling |
|
'Se mo chaesar, ghile mear |
He is my Caesar, dashing darling |
|
Ni fhuaras fein aon suan ar sean |
I've had no rest from forebodings |
|
O chuaigh i gcein mo ghile mear |
Since he went far away, my darling |
| |
|
|
Bimse buan ar buairt gach lo |
Every day I am constantly sad |
|
Ag gui go crua 's ag tuar na ndeor |
Weeping bitterly and shedding tears |
|
Mar scaoileadh uainn an buachaill beo |
Because our lively lad has left us |
|
'S na riomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhron |
And no news from him is heard alas |
| |
|
|
Ni haoibhinn cuach ba suairc ar ndeoin |
The cuckoo sings not pleasantly at noon |
|
Taid fiorchaoin uasal ar uaithne sport |
___ |
|
Taid saoite suaite i mhuairt 's i mbron |
___ |
|
O scaoileadh uainn an buachaill beo |
Since he went away from me, my lively boy |
| |
|
|
Nil seis go suairc ar chruachruit ceoil |
___ |
|
Ta an eigse i ngruaim gan uaim na meabhair |
___ |
|
Taid beathaithe buan ar buairt gach lo |
___ |
|
O thearnaigh uainn an buachaill beo |
___ |
| |
|
|
Ni mhaoifad fein ce he mo stor |
___ |
|
Ta insint sceal ina dhiaigh go leor |
___ |
|
Ach guim chuigh m'aon mhic de na gcomhacht |
___ |
|
Go dteigh mo laoch gan baol beo |
___ |
