Táim Sínte Ar Do Thuama (I'm Stretched on Your Grave)

Táim sínte ar do thuama,
Is do gheóir ann do íor mé
Dá mbeadh barr do dhá lámh agam
Ní sgarfainn leat choíche.
A úilin is a ansacht,
Is am domh-sa luí leat,
Tá bola fuar na cré orm,
Dath na gréine 's na gaoithe!

Tá cló ar mo croí-se
Tá líonta le grá dhuit,
Lionndubh ar thaobh thíos de
Chomh cíordhubh le h-áirne
Is má bhaineann aon ní dhom
'S go gclaoifeadh an bás mé,
Bead-sa im' shí gaoithe
Romhat thíos ar na bánta!

Nuair is dó le mo mhuintir
Go mbím-se ar mo leaba,
Ar do thuama 'sea bhím sínte
Ó oíche go maidin:
A' cur síos mo chruatan
'S a' crua-ghol go daingean.
Tré mo chailín ciúin stuama
Do luadh liom 'n-a leanbh!

I'm Stretched on Your Grave

I'm stretched on your grave,
Your clay has wrapped around me
If I had two arms to hold you
I'd never part from you.
Oh darling, my darling,
It's time for me to lie with you,
The cold sod is on me,
The color of the sun and the wind!

There's a lock on my heart,
It's full of love for you,
Blue-black on the other side,
As dark as a sloe
And if my body fails me,
And death should claim me,
I shall be a fairy wind,
Dancing before you on the slopes!

When my people think
That I am on my bed,
I'll be stretched on your grave
From night until morning:
Tearing my heart,
And weeping bitterly.
For my gentle maid of the grave,
Who was taken from me as a child!
