Téigh go réigh

An bhfuil sé in am imeacht cheana féin?

Is it time to go already?

Agus tú díreach tar éis teacht.

And you just having arrived.

Fan tamaillín eile, a mhuirnín,

Stay a little while longer, my love,

Mo bhfuirnín!

My fair one!

Tá an brón ag bualadh ar mo dhoras.

Sadness is beating on my door.

Fan tamaillín eile

Stay a slittle while longer

Níl mé réidh le scaoileadh leat fós.

I’m not ready to let you go yet.

Le do thoil

Please

Téigh go réigh.

Go softly.
