Transcript
Tá mé buartha[1] tréanlag claoite fá rún mo chléib[2]
Is níl mo leigheas insa tír amar[3]
bhfaighidh mé do póg
Rachaidh mé faoi fhód, chuala mé, a stór, gur chlaon tú,
A Dhia gan tú agam in mo líontaí, is mé a fháil bás de do ghrá (...)
(sínte),
Dar a labhraim le mo bhéal is tabhair leigheas ar mo chéill,
Ó, is cha déanfainn do mhalairt achoíche.
Translation
I am perturbed, thoroughly weak and subdued by my dearest love
And nothing in the land will cure me if I don't receive your kiss
I will go to the grave; I heard, my dear, that you refused,
Oh God, without you in my clutches, and I am dying of your love (...) lying down
(?),
By all I say, and cure me of my disease (?),
Oh, and I would never replace you.
