Na Laethe Bhi Lyrics

Do chomhrá s' do chairdeas 

Ba mhian liom I gconaí 

‘s oró grá mo chroí 

Scéalta is amhrãin 

Go haosta le sléibhte 

Cruaidh ‘s cróga le haois 

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach 

Slán le na laethe a bhí 

Slán leis an oíche 

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair 

Slán le na laethe bhí 

Ag amhare ar an fharraige 

‘s an ghrian ar a'tsáile 

‘s oró grá mo choí 

Scéalta fa Bhalar 

sna trí Mhici Gorra 

Oileáin seanda mar fhís 

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach 

Slán le na laethe a bhí 

Slán leis an oíche 

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair 

Slán le na laethe bhí 

Bí liom a stórín 

Samhradh go geimhreadh 

Run mó mhíle stór 

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach 

Slán le na laethe a bhí 

Slán leis an oíche 

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair 

Slán le na laethe bhí 


Translation

Your protection and your friendship

Were always desired,

and my heart's great love

Stories and songs

Old as the mountains

Strong and brave with age.

Goodbye to the days that were, turning so lightheartedly

Goodbye to the days that were

Goodbye to the night

Turning on the first hour

Goodbye to the days that were.

At the sight of the sea

and the sun on the seashore

and the great love of my heart

were stories and Balar (?)

in three Mici Gorra (?)

Ancient islands like a vision (or dream)

I had a sweetheart

From summer up to winter

My dearest love.
