Clannad - Ta 'Me Mo Shui lyrics

Tá mé mo shuí

(I am sitting)

Tá mé mo shuí ó d`éirigh`n ghealach aréir

Ag cur tein-e síos-go buan is á fadó go géar

Tá bunadh a` tí `na luí is tá mise liom féin

Tá na coiligh ag glaoch `san saol `na gcodladh ach mé

I am sitting up since the moon arose last night

Putting down a fire again and again and keeping it lit

The family is in bed and here am I by myself,

The cocks are crowing and the country is asleep but me.

`Sheacht mh`anam déag do bhéal do mhala is do ghrua

Do shúil ghorm ghlé-gheal fár thréig mé sionnach na lúb

Le cumha do dhiaidh ní léir dom an bealach a shiúil

Is a charaid mo chléibh tá na sléibhte `dul idir mé`s tú

I love your mouth, your eyebrows and your cheeks

Your bright blue eyes for whose sake I stopped hunting the wily fox

In longing for you I cannot see to walk the road

Friend of my bosom, the mountains lie between me and you.

Deiridh lucht léinn gur claoite an galar an grá

Char admhaigh mé é is é `ndiaidh mo chroí istigh a chrá

Aicid ró-ghéar, faraor nár sheachain mé í

Is go gcuireann sí arraing is céad go géar trí cheart-lár mo chroí

Learned men say that love is a fatal sickness

I never admitted it until now that my heart is broken:

It's a very painful illness, alas, I have not avoided it,

And it sends a hundred arrows through the core of my heart.

Casadh bean-tsí dom thíos ag Lios Bhéal an Átha

D`fhiafraigh mé di an scaoilfeadh glas ar bith grá

Is é dúirt sí gos íseal i mbriathra soineannta sáimh

"An grá a théid fán chroí ní scaoiltear as é go bráth"

I met a fairy woman at the Rath of Beal an Atha

I asked her would any key unlock the love in my heart

And she said in soft simple language

"When love enters the heart it will never be driven from it".
