Táimse Im Chodladh - Aoife Ní Fhearraigh

[@radubradu]

And I out late one afternoon far away by a fairy fort, I am asleep 'n don't wake me, I saw by my side the shiny heavenly woman. I am asleep 'n don't wake me. They were pearly falling curls, her waves (lit. branches) of hair that fell trembling to the groundand she was sending a sword through me that stung me [deep]. I am asleep'n don't wake me. 'Tis many the young boy that was forcefully taken off, I am asleep 'n don't wake me, that was put to slave away on the far side of the sea. I am asleep 'n don't wake me. Would that I see the day when the English (lit. Saxons) were bent over and they plowing and tilling for us, without me there, unless I would be offering them the plow! I am asleep 'n don't wake me.
