English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Is bean ón slua sí mé, do tháinig thar toinn |
I am a woman from the fairy host who traveled over the seas |
|
Is do goideadh san oíche me tamall thar lear |
I was stolen in the night and taken beyond the sea |
|
Is go bhfuilim as ríocht seo fé gheas' mná sídhe |
And I am held hostage in the kingdom by the fairy women |
|
Is ní bheidh ar an saol seo ach go nglaofaidh an coileach |
And I can only be in this world until the moment the cock crows |
|
Is caitheadsa féin tabhairt fá'n deis isteach |
I know I have tasks to do here |
|
Ni thaithneamh liom é ach caithfead tabhairt fé |
Which I do not like but must comply with |
|
Is caitheadsa féin tabhairt fén lios isteach |
I must return to the fort and do not have anything to do |
|
Is ná déinig aon ní leis an dream thíos sa leas |
With this body of fairy people down in the fairy mound |
