An Caoineadh
Lament for a Dead Child
Transcribed by Dr Noirín Ní Rian from Cáit Ní Gallchóir, Donegal, Ireland.
Translation by Dr Dáibhí Ó Cróinín
Sairiú
And o woe!
Agus a leanbh
My child
Cad a dhéanfaidh mé?
What will I do?
Tá tú ar s(h)iúl uaim
You are gone from me
Sairiú
And o woe!
Agus an uiridh
And last year
Níl duine ar bith agam
I have no one
Sairiú
And woe!
I am alone
Dá mbeithfeá go moch agam
If I had you early (in the morning)
Agus och och! Och airiú gan thú
And woe is me without you
