Smaointe...
(D'Aodh Agus Do Mháire Uí Dhúgain)


Éist le mo chroí,
Go brónach a choích'
Tá mé caillte gan tú
's do bhean chéile.
An grá mór i do shaoil
Treoraí sé mé.
Bígí liomsa i gcónaí
Lá 's oích'.


Curfá:
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
Na deora, go brónach
'Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain.


Aoibhneas a bhí
Ach d'imigh sin
Sé lean tú
Do fhear chéile.
An grá mór i do shaoil
Treoraí sé mé.
Bígí liomsa i gcónaí
Lá 's oích'.


Curfá


Smaointe, ar an lá
'Raibh sibh ar mo thaobh
Ag inse scéil
Ar an dóigh a bhí
Is cuimhin liom an lá
Gan ghá 's gan ghruaim
Bígí liomsa i gcónaí
Lá 's oích'.
A Thought
(To my maternal grandparents,
literally: "For Hugh and Mary Duggan")

Listen to my heart,
Forever sad
I'm lost without you
and your wife.
The great love in your lives
Will guide me.
Be  with me always
Day and night.


Chorus:
Weeping due to the great loneliness
The tears, sorrowfully
Asleep in the quiet green grave
In a deep peace.


There was blissfulness
But that is gone
You followed
Your husband.
The great love in your lives
Will guide me.
Be  with me always
Day and night.


Chorus


A thought, on the day
You were (both) at my side
Telling tales
Of how things were.
I remember the day
Carefree and happy
Be  with me always
Day and night.
