Essex
Ba h’aoimhean an lá
An chéad úair a bhuail mé leat.
Trathn&oactue;na in Andulus, idir cathanna ag ligint ár scith.
Thaitean tú liom go mór,
Is go tapaidh a thit mé chughait.
Ach ní raimh an misneach agam
Mo mhothúcháin a roinn.
Do scroisfeadh mo chroí nuair a chonaic mé thú.
i do luí as an talamh i d'aonaoir.
Gan dath i do aidhgh,
Gan anál ar do bheaola,
Ach do cliamh i do lámh fós greimthe.
A stóirín mo chroí
Codail go sámh anois,
Go dtí go buailfimíd arís ar bruaich Amhan an tSaoil.
Beidh tú liom go deo
isteach i mo chroí agam
N&iactue; mbeidh mé riamh i m'aonaoir ma chuimhnium liom do grá.
The first time I met you was a wonderful day,
An afternoon on Andulus,
Taking our ease between battles.
I liked you a lot, and I quickly fell for you,
But I didn’t have the courage
To share my feelings.
My heart was ripped apart when I saw you there
Lying on the ground alone.
Your face drained of colour,
Without breath on your lips,
But your sword yet clasped in your hand.
My darling,
Sleep peacefully now,
Until we meet again on the banks of the River of Life.
You'll always be with me,
You'll dwell in my heart,
I will never be alone while I remember your love.
