Una Palliser - Mo Ghile Mear

 

 

 

Gaelic (Irish Gaelic)

Mo Ghile Mear
Seal da rabhas i m' mhaighdean shéimh,
's anois i' m' bhaintreach chaite thréith,
Mo chéile ag treabhadh na dtonn go tréan
De bharr na gcnoc is i n-imigéin.

curfa:-
'Sé mo laoch, mo ghile mear,
'sé mo chaesar, gile mear,
suan ná séan ní bhfuaireas fhéin
ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear.

Bímse buan ar buairt gach ló,
ag caoi go cruaidh 's ag tuar na ndeór
mar scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beó
's ná ríomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhrón.

curfa

Ní labhrann cuach go suairc air neóin
is níl guth gadhair i gcoillte cnó,
ná maidín shamhraidh i gleanntaibh ceoigh
ó scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beó.

curfa

Marcach uasal uaibhreach óg,
gas gan gruaim is suairce snódh,
glac is luaimneach, luath i ngleo
ag teascadh an tslua 's ag tuargain treon.

curfa

Is cosúil é le hAonghus Óg,
le Lughaidh Mac Chéin na mbéimeann mór,
le Conchubhar cáidhmhac Náis na nós,
taoiseach aoibhinn Chraoibhe an cheoil.

curfa

Ach seinntear stair ar chlairsigh cheoil
is líontair táinte cárt ar bord
le hintinn ard gan chaim, gan cheo
chun saoghal is sláinte d' fháil dom leon.

curfa
ó luadh i gcéin mo ghile mear.

 

 

English translation

My gallant lad

Once I was a gentle maiden,
and now I'm a weak and worn-out widow,
my spouse powerfully ploughing the waves
beyond the hills and far from here.

chorus:-
My gallant lad is my hero,
He's my hero, gallant lad,
I found neither sleep nor happiness
since my gallant lad went far away.

I am incessantly unhappy every day,
grieving sorely, showing signs of tears
as the lively lad was sent away from me
and, my sorrow, no news is told of him.

chorus

No cuckoo speaks sweetly in the evening
and there is no cry of beagles in the hazel forests,
nor summer mornings in misty valleys
since the lively lad was sent away from me.

chorus

A noble proud young cavalryman,
a cheerful young man with a most pleasant appearance,
a most agile grasp, swift in battle,
cutting down hordes and crushing champions.

chorus

He is like Aonghus Óg1,
like Lughaidh Mac Chéin of the big blows2,
like Conor the venerable son of renowned Nás3,
the delightful leader of music's embellishment.

chorus

Let a story be sung on tuneful harps
and let lots of quarts be filled on the table
with high spirits faultless and unclouded
to find life and good health for my lion.

chorus
since my gallant lad was reported to be far away.

My dear Scott, my charming brother, with the deepest most adorable dimples....your loss is still so fresh and one that is hard for my heart to reconcile with the brother I knew.  I pray your demons are at rest now and that you rest in peace.  Know that you take my love and the love of your two other brothers and sisters with you.  Till we meet again you will be missed.

I received word this afternoon that an old dear friend of mine will not last the next few hours.  She is surrounded by her family who reached out to me and we were able to have a few final words. This is for you Christine as you "BaaaHaaaa!" out of this world and into the next.  Hold a seat for me at the Dollar.
