Translation of the song lyrics Úrchnoc Chéin Mhic Cáinte - Aoife Ní Fhearraigh

Úrchnoc Chéin Mhic Cáinte (original)

A phlúr na maighdean is úire gné
Fuair clú le scéimh ón Ádhamhchlainn
A chúil na bpéarla, a rún na héigse
A dhúblaíos féile is fáilte
A ghnúis mar ghréin le tús gach lae ghil
A mhúchas léan le gáire
'Sé an trua gan mé is tú, a shiúir, linn féin
Sa dún sin Chéin Mhic Cáinte
Táim brúite i bpéin gan suan gan néall
De do chumha, a ghéag is áille
Is gur tó mo rogha i gCúigibh Éireann
Cúis nach séanam áthas de
Dá siúlfá, a réalta gan smúid, liom féin
Ba shúgach saor ár sláinte
Gheobhair plúr is méad is cnuasach craobh
Sa dún sin Chéin Mhic Cáinte
A shuairc-bhean tséimh na gcuachfholt péarlach
Gluais liom fhéin ar ball beag
Nuair a bheas uaisle is cléir is tuataí i néal
Ina suan faoi éadai bána
Ó thuaidh go mbeam i bhfad uatha araon
Teacht nuachruth gréine amárach
Gan ghuais le chéile in uaigneas aerach
San dún sin Chéin Mhic Cáinte

Úrchnoc Chéin Mhic Cáinte (translation)

Its the most advanced virgin flour feature
Adamnagh gained a reputation for beauty
The back of pearls, the secret of poetry
Duplicating a festival is welcome
His face like the sun at the beginning of each bright day
A muffled sigh of laughter
'It's a pity that you and I, sisters, are not with us
In that fort Kéin Mhic Cáinte
I am crushed in pain without sleep without a cloud
Of your sorrow, his most beautiful limb
My choice is in the Provinces of Ireland
A reason why I do not rejoice
If you walked, star without smoke, alone
Our health was a cheap junk
Get plenty of flour and a bunch of raisins
In that fort Kéin Mhic Cáinte
A gentle mumble-woman of pearly curls
Move with me soon
When nobles and clergy and laity are in a trance
Asleep under white clothes
North I would be far from both
The arrival of a new sunshine tomorrow
No danger together in gay loneliness
In that fort Kéin Mhic Cáinte
