Smaointe... Songtext / Lyric

Eist le mo chroi,

Go bronach a choich

Ta me caillte gan tu

's do bhean cheile.

An gra mor i do shaoil

Threorai si me.

Bigi liomsa i gconai

La 's oich.



[Chorus:]

Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mor

Na deora, go bronach

Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiuin

Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain






Aoibhneas a bhi

Ach d'imigh sin

Se lean tu

Do fhear cheile.

An gra mor i do shaoil

Threorai se me.

Bigi liomsa i gconai

La 's oich.



[Chorus]



Smaointe, ar an la

(A) raibh sibh ar mo thaobh

Ag inse sceil

Ar an doigh a bhi

Is cuimhin liom an la

Gan gha 's gan ghruaim

Bigi liomsa i gconai

La 's oich'



[Translation]



Listen to my heart

Sorrowful, alas

I am lost without you

And your wife

The great love in your life

She guided me

Be with me always

Day and night



[Chorus:]

Lamenting the great loneliness

The sorrowful tears

Asleep in the quiet green grave

In a deep peace



There was happiness

But that departed

It was he who followed you

Your husband

The great love in your life

He guided me

Be with me always

Day and night



[Chorus]



I think of the day

That you were beside ne

Telling a story

Of the old life

I remember the day

Without want and without gloom

Be with me always

Day and night
