Aoife Ní Fhearraigh - Ar a Ghabháil chun an Chuain Domh

Aoife - Ar a Ghabháil chun an Chuain Domh ('On My Way to the Shore')

LYRICS:

Ar a dhul chun an chuain dom
Is mé bhí go huaibhreach
Tinn lag buartha i m'intinn
Bhí mé ag féachaint uaim ar an spéir aduaidh
Is í éalú uaim ina trealltaí
Ach faraor géar géar
Is mé an ceann gan chéill
Níor ghlac mé comhairle mo mháithrín féin
Nuair a dúirt sí liom tríd chomhrá ghrinn
Go Béal Átha hAmhnais ná triall ann

Ach ba mhón a thug mé grá
Do mo chúilfhionn bán
An lá breá ar chúl an gharraí
Is do bhéilín tláith mar chuar na trá
Is do ghrua chomh dearg leis an chaorthainn
Chuir mé lámh ar an cúm
Is bhí mo chroí lán gruaim
Ag ceiliúr caoin na n-éanlaith
Is nach trua gan mise ag éalú leat
Faoi rópaí is seoltaí séidte

Oró a chuid is a rún
Dá ngluaisfeá ar siúl
Go tír na long as Éirinn
Níl tuirse croí ná tinneas cinn
Nach leigheasfaí ann gan amhras
Nó ba tú mo rogha inniu is inné
Agus coinnigh agat féin ón bhás mé
Nó gan grásta Dé ní mhairfidh mé
Ar an tsráid seo i mBéal Átha hAmhnais

Ar a dhul chun an chuain dom
Is mé bhí go huaibhreach
Tinn lag buartha i m'intinn
Bhí mé ag féachaint uaim ar an spéir aduaidh
Is í éalú uaim ina trealltaí
Ach faraor géar géar
Is mé an ceann gan chéill
Níor ghlac mé comhairle mo mháithrín féin
Nuair a dúirt sí liom tríd chomhrá ghrinn
Go Béal Átha hAmhnais ná triall ann

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

I walked down by the sea
Right wearily
My heart, it was tormented
From a northern sky the small clouds did fly
And sorely I lamented
I'm sorry now I swear
That I didn't care
To heed my mother's caution
She spoke to me fair saying don't venture there
Don't go the road to Ballyhaunis

Yet dearly did I love
My fair-haired girl
In the garden that morning early
Your lips as tender as the foam on the ocean's rim
And cheeks like red haw-berries
I put my arm around your waist
But my mind knew no ease
Though the small birds sang so gaily
I wished we were going under white sails blowing
Be it fair or stormy weather

My own heart's dear
If you'd come away
To that land of ships from Ireland
There's no heartache nor there's no pain
That wouldn't find a cure for certain
You are the one I've always loved
So save me now from dying
For without God's grace I'll never survive
On this street in Ballyhaunis

I walked down by the sea
Right wearily
My heart, it was tormented
From a northern sky the small clouds did fly
And sorely I lamented
I'm sorry now I swear
That I didn't care
To heed my mother's caution
She spoke to me fair saying don't venture there
Don't go the road to Ballyhaunis
