My Match It Is Made lyrics

Ta mo chleamhnas deanta o athru areir
S`ni mo na go dtaithnioonn an bhean liom fein
Ach fagfaidh me i mo dhiaidh i
`gus imeoidh me liom fein
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach

My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But I`ll take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods all over.

Shiuil mise thoir agus shiuil mise thiar.
Shiuil mise Corcaigh `gus sraide Bh`l`ath Cliath
Ach samhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh.
`Si an bhean dubh a dhfhag mo chroi craite

I walked up and I walked down.
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns,
But no equal to my true love could I find.
She`s the wee lass that`s left my heart broken.

D`eirigh me ar maidin dha uair roimh an la
`gus fuair me litir o mo mhile ghra
Chuala me an smoilin `s an londubh a ra
Gur ealiagh mo ghra thar saile

I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love.
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean.
