Translation of the song lyrics Cití na gCumann - Clannad, Steve Turner, Ged Lynch

Cití na gCumann (original)

Is do thángas an baile seo 'réir
Is bhí se 'gam déanach go leor
Smé ar intinn an margadh a dhéanamh
'S nach scarfainn léi féin go deo
Níor tháinig a Daidí chun réitigh
Cár mhiste domh é na dhóibh?
Bheirim slán is beannacht as mo ghaolta
'S ní chasfaidh mé fhéin go deo
Níor cuireadh romham cuireadh na fáilte
Ó thánas an tsráid seo thíos
On uair a dh’airigh mo ghrá geal
Is go dtugas mo lámh do mhnaoi
Is doigh leo go bhfuil mise pósta
Is dár ndoigh, más doigh, ní fíor
Dar a leabhar atá thíos i mo phóca
Is ag mealladh ban óg a bhíos
Is a Chití na gcumann, ná séan mé
Siúil feasta 'gus éalaigh liom
I ngleanntáin coilleadh nó sliabh' amuigh
Nó sealad faoi bhláth na gcrann
Do phósfainn i gan fhios don tsaol thú
'S don tsagart dá mh’fhéidir liom
'S muna bhfaighfear sinn cangailt' in Éirinn
Ó racham araon anonn

Cití na gCumann (translation)

This is where I came from
And it was pretty late
I intend to make the deal
And I would not part with her forever
Daddy did not come to terms
What do I care about them?
I bid farewell and blessings to my relatives
And I will never turn myself in
I was not invited to the welcome
From the end of this street below
Ever since my love felt bright
It's that I give my hand to a woman
They think I'm married
Of course, if not, not true
According to his book which is below in my pocket
I was attracted to young women
It's Kitty of the associations, don't deny me
Walk from now on and escape with me
In wooded or mountain valleys' out
Or a spell under the flower of the trees
I would marry you in the unknown of life
And for the priest if I can
And if we don't find a link in Ireland
Oh I will both go over
