Translation of the song lyrics Fáilte Don Éan - Anúna, Michael McGlynn, Lynn Hilary

Fáilte Don Éan (original)

Fáilte don éan is binne ar chraoibh
Labhras ar caoin na dtor le gréin;
Domsa is fada tuirse an tsaoil
Nach bhfeiceann í le teacht an fhéir
Cluinim, cé nach bhfeicim a gné
Seinnm an éan darb ainm cuach;
Amharc uirthi i mbarra géag
Mo thuirse ghéar nach mise fuair
Gach neach dá bhfeiceann cruth an éin
Amharc Éireann deas is tuaidh
Blátha na dtulca ar gach taoibh
Dóibh is aoibhinn bheith dá lua
Mo thuirse nach bhfuaireas bua ar m’amharc d’fháil
Go bhfeicim ar uaigneas uaisle an duilliúir ag fás!
Cuid de mo ghruaim — ní ghluaisim chun cruinnithe le cách
Ar amharc na gcuach ar bhruach na coille go sámh

Fáilte Don Éan (translation)

Welcome to the sweetest bird on a tree
I speak of the cry of the bushes with the sun;
To me life's fatigue is long overdue
Do not see her with the coming of the grass
I hear, though I do not see its feature
I play the bird named cuckoo;
Look at her in a limb bar
My severe fatigue that I did not get
Everyone who sees the shape of the bird
Nice and north view of Ireland
The flowers of the tulca on each side
They love to mention it
My tiredness of not winning my sight
May I see the noble loneliness of the foliage grow!
Part of my gloom - I don't move to meetings with everyone
On the view of the curls on the edge of the wood peacefully
