Casadh an Tsúgáin - Frankie's Song

Do casadh cailín deas orm in uaigneas na dtrá,
Ar lúb na coille s'glaise uair a bheag roim lá:
Sé'n fhreagar' ó a thug sí liom go ciúin agus go tláth:
Tá an saol 'na gcoladh, is bogaimís an súisín bán.
'S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom, a stóirín mo chroí,
'S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom os comhair a' tí,
Má bhíonn tú liom, 's gur liom gach órlach ded' chroí,
'Sé mo mhíle chnoc nách liom Dé Domhnaigh tú mar mhnaoi.
Ó do bhíos seal im' bhuachaill éadrom mhear ghroí,
'S do bhíosa sheal agus d'imireoinn cárta le mnaoi...

Casadh an Tsúgáin - Frankie's Song

A lovely maiden turned to me in the loneliness of the waves,
Beside the greenwood's edge just before the dawn:
This was the answer she gave me softly and sweetly:
The world is asleep, and we shall whisper the white song.
And if you're with me, be with me, my heart's delight,
And if you're with me, be with me before the house,
If you're with me, and all your heart's every inch is mine,
It'll be my thousand hills that you're not my wife on Sunday.
For there was a while I was a carefree, lively lad,
And there was a while I'd chat and play cards with a woman...
