Текст и перевод песни Kila - Maith Dhom

Maith Dhom

Le Máirtín Ó Direáin

I mo aonar dom aréir
I mo shuí cois mara
An spéir ar ghann chuid néal
' S an muir is tír faoi chalm.
Do chumhraíocht ríonda
A scáiligh ar scáileán m'aigne
Cé loinnir deiridh mo ghrá duit
A shíleas bheith in éag le fada.

Ghlaos d'ainm go ceanúil
Mar ba ghnách liom tamall
' S chuala scread scáfar
Ó éan uaigneach cladaigh.
Maith dhom murab fhál leat fiú
Do scáth dhil im'aice
Ach bhí an spéir ar ghann chuid néal
' S an muir is an tír faoi chalm.

Maith Dhom

My Máirtín Ó Direáin

I was lonely last night
Asleep by the sea
The sky barely clouded
' S the land and sea were calm.
Your lovely face
Flashed across the screen of my mind
How brightly my love for you burns
A love I thought long since dead.

I called your name aloud
As I used to do
' S I heard the screech
Of a lonely shorebird.
'Tis well for me if you don't love me
Your dear shadow near me
For the sky was barely clouded
' S the land and sea were calm.
