Versuri 03. Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta (My Match It Is Made)

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.
