Lyrics and translation Clannad - Tá 'Mé Mo Shuí

Tá 'Mé Mo Shuí

Tá mé mo shuí ó d′éirigh'n ghealach aréir
Ag cur tein-e síos-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

′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

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

Casadh bean-tsí dom thíos ag Lios Bhéal an átha
D'fhiafraigh mé di an scaoilfeadh glas ar bith grá
Is é dúirt sí gos íseal i mbriathra soineannta sáimh
′An grá a théid fán chroí ní scaoiltear as é go bráth'

[English translation:]
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.

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.

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.

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′.

Je suis seul

Je suis seul depuis que la lune est apparue hier soir
En allumant le feu, encore et encore, jusqu'à ce qu'il brûle
Tout le monde dort à la maison, et moi, je suis seul,
Les coqs chantent, le monde dort, mais pas moi.

J'aime ta bouche, tes sourcils et tes joues
Tes yeux bleus brillants, pour toi, j'ai abandonné la chasse au renard rusé
Je ne vois pas le chemin à cause de mon désir pour toi,
Mon cher ami, les montagnes se dressent entre nous.

Les érudits disent que l'amour est une maladie mortelle
Je ne l'ai jamais admis, jusqu'à présent, mon cœur est brisé :
C'est une maladie très douloureuse, hélas, je ne l'ai pas évitée,
Et elle envoie cent flèches au cœur de mon être.

J'ai rencontré une fée à Lios Bhéal an átha
Je lui ai demandé si une clé pouvait ouvrir l'amour que j'ai en moi
Elle a dit, d'une voix douce et simple,
'L'amour qui entre dans le cœur ne le quittera jamais'.
