Lyrics of Ar a Ghabhail 'n a 'Chuain Damh - Clannad

Ar a Ghabhail 'n a 'Chuain Damh (original)

Ar a ghabhil n a chuain damh s m bh go huaibhreach
Tinn lag buartha Im intinn,
Bhi me feachaint uaim ar an speir aduaidh
s al uaim na trealtai.
Ach faraoir gar gar s m an ceann gan chill
Nor ghlac m comhairle mo mhithrin fin,
s gur dhirt s liom frd chomr ghrinn
Go beal-ath-hamhnais s n triall ann.
Ach ba mhn a thug m gr do mo chailn bn An l bre I gcl an gharra,
s do bhiln blth mar chr na tr
s do ghruann chomh dearg leis na caorthainn.
Chuir m lmh ar an chuan, s bh mo chro ln gruaim
Ag ceilir caoin na n-anlaith,
s nach trua gan mise ag al leat
Faoi rpa s seolta seidte.
Or, a chuid s a rn d ngluaisfe ar sil
Go tr na long as éirinn,
Nl tuirse cro n tinneas cinn
Nach leighisf ann gan amhras.
N ba t mo rogha innui is inn
Agus coinnivh agat fin n bhs m,
N gan ghrsta d n mhairfitdh m Ar an tsrid seo I mbal-ath-hamhnais.

(translation)

On his capture n his harbor ox s m bh proudly
Ill weak worried But mind,
I was staring at the northern sky
s al uaim na trealtai.
But alas close to s m the head without a cell
I did not take my own mother 's advice,
and that he told me frd comr grinn
To beal-ath-amhnais s n trial there.
But it was a woman who gave my love to my fair maiden The beautiful day In the back of the garden,
s do bhiln blth mar chr na tr
your cheeks are as red as the rowans.
I put my hand on the bay, and my heart was full of gloom
Celebrating the cries of the animals,
It's not a pity for me not to be with you
Under rpa s blown sails.
Or, his s a rn d move on sil
To the ships from Ireland,
No heart fatigue or headaches
Undoubtedly there is no cure.
N ba t my choice innui is inn
And you kept fin n bhs m,
Not without grace d n I would survive On this street In a state of remorse.
