Altan: Ta Me 'Mo Shui
YouTube
I have not slept since the moon lit the heavens last night
Just setting the fire and stroking the ember to light
The household's retired and I am left here to sigh
The roosters are crowing all the world is asleep barring I
My soul is enthralled with your mouth your face and your brow
For your sparkling blue eyes I abandoned contentment and glee
Due to longing for you I'm unable to travel the way
Oh friend of my bosom the hills come between me and you
Wise men proclaim that lovesickness can leave one unwell
I did not believe it until my poor heart came under its spell
A malaise in my craze I failed to ignore
With a hundred and more aching pangs it's pierced my heart to the core
I met a banshee by the Fairyrath near Ballina
I asked her politely if one could be cured of this "grá"
And she answered me kindly in tones so simple and low
"Once it sets in the heart it cannot be freed evermore"
