Translation of the song lyrics The Mermaid - Aine Minogue

The Mermaid (original)

Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thréig tú an greann
Tá sneachta ga freasach fá bhéal na mbeann'
Do chúl buí daite 's do bhéilín sámh
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh
A mháithrín dhílis, dúirt Máire Bhán
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhéal na trá
Maighdeán Mhara, mo mháithrín ard
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh
Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh ga lá
Mo Mháire bhroinngheal 's mo Phádraig bán
Ar bharr na dtonna 's fá bhéal na trá
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh

The Mermaid (translation)

You seem to have declined or abandoned the humor
There is snow falling at the mouth of the mountains'
Your yellow colored back and your soft mouth
Mary Chinidh came to you after the Erne swam
Faithful mother, said White Mary
By the shore and by the beach
Sea Maiden, my tall mother
Mary Chinidh came to you after the Erne swam
I'm tired and there will be a day
My white Mary and my white Patrick
On top of the waves and at the mouth of the beach
Mary Chinidh came to you after the Erne swam
