Lyrics and translation Méav - Morning in Béarra

Morning in Béarra

Is é mo choí gan mise maidin aerach
I regret that on this airy morning
Amuigh i m
Béarra im' sheasamh ar an dtrá
I am not out in Béarra sitting on the beach
Is guth na n-éan 'o'm tharraing tha na sléibhte cois na farraige
With the voices of birds drawing me over the mountains beside the sea
Go Céim an Aitinn mar ambíonn mo ghrá
To the Pass of the Furze where my love is
Is obann aoibhinn aiteasach do léimfhinn
I would caper about happily, pleasantly
Do rithfhinn saor ó anabhroid an tláis
I would run free from doubts and fears
Do thabharfainn droim le scamallaibh an tsaoil seo
I turn my back on the clouds of this life
Dá bhfaighinn mo léirdhothain d'amharc ar mo chaoimshearc bán
If I could ever get my fill of looking at my fair
Sweetheart Is é mo dhíth bheith ceangailte go faonlag
It is my sadness to be bound here in weakness
Is neart mo chléibh dá thachtadh 'nseo sa tsráid
The power of my spirit suffocated here in the streets
An fhad tá réim na habhann agus gaoth ghlan na farraige
While the rivers flow and the pure sea wind
Ag glaoch is gairm ar an gcroí seo i m'lár
Calls and summons the heart within me
Is milis bríomhar leathanbhog an t-aer ann
The air there is sweet and vigorous and soft
Is gile ón ngréin go farsing ar an mbán
And bright is the sun that shines on the grasslands
Is ochón, a ríbhean bhanúil na gcraobhfholt
But alas, oh gentle queen of the curly hair
Gan sinne araon i measc an aitinn mar do bhímis tráth

Matin à Béarra

Is é mo choí gan mise maidin aerach
Je regrette qu'en ce matin clair
Amuigh i m
Béarra im' sheasamh ar an dtrá
Je ne sois pas dehors à Béarra, assise sur la plage
Is guth na n-éan 'o'm tharraing tha na sléibhte cois na farraige
Laissée le chant des oiseaux me guider par-dessus les montagnes, au bord de la mer
Go Céim an Aitinn mar ambíonn mo ghrá
Jusqu'au Col de l'Ajonc, où se trouve mon amour.
Is obann aoibhinn aiteasach do léimfhinn
Je sautillerais de bonheur, joyeusement,
Do rithfhinn saor ó anabhroid an tláis
Je courrais, libérée des doutes et des peurs,
Do thabharfainn droim le scamallaibh an tsaoil seo
Je tournerais le dos aux nuages de cette vie
Dá bhfaighinn mo léirdhothain d'amharc ar mo chaoimshearc bán
Si seulement je pouvais me rassasier de te contempler, mon amour
Sweetheart Is é mo dhíth bheith ceangailte go faonlag
Ma tristesse est d'être retenue ici, dans la faiblesse,
Is neart mo chléibh dá thachtadh 'nseo sa tsráid
La force de mon esprit étouffée ici, dans ces rues,
An fhad tá réim na habhann agus gaoth ghlan na farraige
Alors que la rivière coule et que le vent pur de la mer
Ag glaoch is gairm ar an gcroí seo i m'lár
Appelle et invite mon cœur,
Is milis bríomhar leathanbhog an t-aer ann
L'air y est doux, vigoureux et léger
Is gile ón ngréin go farsing ar an mbán
Et le soleil brille avec éclat sur les prairies.
Is ochón, a ríbhean bhanúil na gcraobhfholt
Hélas, ô doux roi aux cheveux bouclés,
Gan sinne araon i measc an aitinn mar do bhímis tráth
