  1. Amhrán (continued)

    “One day as I chanced for to roam ¶ Is mo chaol-each agam-sa go groidhe ¶ I espied a fair maid all alone ¶ Is í ag déanamh isteach ar Thráiglí”

    Don’t take it for jest or for joke
    Mar is leat-sa do chaitheas mo chiall
    But prepare and we’ll make for the road
    No beidh cúntas gur cailleadh mé id’ dhiaidh
    I’ll dress you in silks and fine clothes
    Agus capaill marcuíochta fé’d bhuidhean
    So make up your mind and come home
    Agus mairfhean go brách i dTráighlí

    I gave you your answer before
    Is is náireach an gnó dhuit mar slighe
    Deluding a maid of my sórt
    Is is baoghalach duit Damaint Síoruidhe,
    So in order to begin the joke
    Is go mbeidh againn Beannacht na Naomh
    The priest will make one of us both
    Agus mairfhean go brách i dTráighlí
