Paroles et traduction The Chieftains feat. Mary Chapin Carpenter - Deserted Soldier

Deserted Soldier

Nuair a d'eirigh mé 'r maidin Dé Céadaoin
Níor choisreac mé m'éadan faraor
Nó gur bheir mé ar an arm a ba ghéire
Agus chuir mé a bhéal le cloich liomhth'

Dá mbínnse seacht mbliana faoin talamh
Nó i bhfiabhras na leapa mo luí
A chéadsearc an dtighteá 'gus m'fhiafraí
Scéal cinnte go mbeinn leat mo shuí

Is trua nach marb bhí m'athair
Nuair a chuir sé mé go harm an Rí'
Is gurbh í an uaigh mo chrualeaba feasta
Is a chéadsearc nach trua leat mo luí

Is fada mo chrá croíse a dhéanamh
Mo thumba á prionntáil ag saor
'Gus mo chónra á tógáil lá 'n Earraigh
'Gus na buachailli deasa gabháil faoi

Is trua nach marbh bhí m'athair
Nuair a chuir sé mé go harm an Rí'
Is gurbh í an uaigh mo chrualeaba feasta
Is a chéadsearc nach trua leat mo luí

Deserted Soldier

When I awoke on Wednesday morning
I never thought I'd be here alone
To take up with the army that was so wild
And bring my teeth down on a whetstone

If I were to lie under the earth for seven years
Or to lie feverish in my bed
My first love will come to the house to ask of me
A certain tale of how I am

It's a pity that my father was not dead
When he sent me to the King's army
For it is the grave that is my bed now
Oh my first love, are you not sorry for me?

It's long that I've been making my sign of the cross
My coffin being made by a carpenter
And my coffin being carried on a spring day
By the handsome boys to place underneath

It's a pity that my father was not dead
When he sent me to the King's army
For it is the grave that is my bed now
Oh my first love, are you not sorry for me?
