Lyrics of Táimse Im' Chodladh - Cara Dillon

Táimse Im' Chodladh (original)

Tráthnóinín déanach i gcéin cois leasa dom
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé
Sea dhearcas lem' thaobh an spéirbhean mhaisiúil
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé
Ba bhachallach péarlach dréimreach barrachas
A carnfholt craobhach ag titim léi ar bhaillechrith
'S í ag caitheamh na saighead trím thaobh do chealg mé
áimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé
Is éirigí, a chlann, agus gabhaig bhur n-airm chugaibh,
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé.
Is leagaigí sa tsrúil gach scrúille Sasanaigh,
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé.
Mura mairfeadh ach triúir bíodh ciú ins gach bail' agaibh
Ó Charraig na Siúire go ciumhais an Daingin thiar
Ardaigí bhur lain, tugaig fogha faoina Sasanaigh,
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé.
Táimse im' chodhladh is ná dúistear mé.

(translation)

Late afternoon in the distance for my benefit
I'm asleep and don't wake me up
Yes, I have a vision of the fancy maiden
I'm asleep and don't wake me up
Excess ladder was a pearl ladder
Her branching pile falling with her on a tremor
She's throwing the arrows through my side to trick me
I am calm and do not wake up
Arise, my children, and take up arms,
I'm asleep and don't wake me up.
Lay down in the saddle every English shrine,
I'm asleep and don't wake me up.
If only three people survive, have a queue in each town
From Carrick - on - Suir to the western edge of Dingle
Raise your lain, subdue the English,
I'm asleep and don't wake me up.
I'm asleep and don't wake me up.
