Seoladh Na Ngamhna (original)

Tráthnóinín déanach is mé gan mhairg
Ag seoladh na ngamhna fén bhfásach
Do dhearcas chugamsa an spéirbhean mhaisiúil
Chiúin thais bhanúil náireach
D’fhiasraíos féin go séimh dhen ainnir
An aon ní thar lear a tháinig
Ag seoladh na ngamhana 'sea dh’fhágas as baile
Ach ceann ní bhfaighidh go lá dhíobh
Tá crainnín cumhra i lúb na coille
'Gus raghaimid araon go lá fé
Mar a mbeidh ceol binn na n-éan dá síorchur a chodladh
Is cuileann is eidhneán ag fás air
Gheobhainn cead saor ó mhaor na coille
Féar a thabhairt go lá dhíobh
Más ag scarúint óna chéile atá chugainn ar maidin
Seo póg agus bairrín beag mo láimh chugat
Is b’fhéidir le hÍosa fá Oíche Nollag
Go mbeimid araon in ann pósadh
I seoimrín néata ag pointe an ghleanna
'S an Sagart ag ól ár sláinte
Beidh beoir againn go líonmhar go fuíoch gan dochma
Is gloine dhen fíon dhonn Spáinneach
Beidh puinse againn á roinnt le linn dul a chodladh
Is gheobhaimid na gamhna amárach
Beidh puinse againn á roinnt le linn dul a chodladh
Is gheobhaimid na gamhna amárach

(translation)

Late afternoon, I'm not sad
Sending the calves under the desert
The fancy maiden looked at me
Silent humiliating feminine humility
I asked myself softly about the ainir
The only thing that came abroad
Sailing the calves I left home
But one will not get a day of them
There is a fragrant tree in the bend of the wood
'And we both go to day under
As the sweet music of the birds will sleep forever
Holly and ivy grow on it
I get permission from the forest warden
Give them grass for a day
If we are separating each other in the morning
Here's a kiss and a little toe of my hand to you
Maybe Jesus on Christmas Eve
May we both be able to marry
In a neat room at the point of the valley
The Pastor is drinking our health
We will have beer in abundance without fail
It is a glass of Spanish brown wine
We will share a punch while going to bed
We will get the calves tomorrow
We will share a punch while going to bed
We will get the calves tomorrow
