Éamonn an Chnoic
Ned of the Hill
ga
english
Cé hé sin amuigh
A bhfuil faobhar ar a ghuth
Ag réabadh mo dhorais dhúnta?
Mise Éamonn an Chnoic
Atá báite fuar fliuch
Ó shíorshuí sléibhte is údaí
Who is that outside
With the sharp edge to his voice
Breaking open my locked door?
I am Ned of the Hill
Drenched cold and wet
From forever walking mountains and wilds
A lánúin úd thíos
Atá i gcomhra an tí
Go deimhin ní mise bhur ngráidín
Bhur gcuid féin ar dtús
Is ná tugaí aon chlú
Don té atá amuigh faoin bhfásach
You couple down there
Settled in the warmth of the house
Truly I am no darling of yours
Keep your own first
And give no credit
To the one out there in the wilderness
Is fada mise amuigh
Faoi shneachta is faoi shioc
Is gan dídean ar bith agam
Mo bhranar gan cur
Mo sheisreach gan dul
Is é sin a chráigh mo chroíse
Long have I been out
Under snow and under frost
With no shelter at all
My fallow ground unsown
My team unyoked
And that is what has broken my heart
