English

I am sitting up
Since the moon arose last night
Putting down a fire again
And again and keeping it lit
The family is in bed
And here am I by myself
The cocks are crowing
And the country is asleep but me

I love your mouth
Your eyebrows and your cheeks
Your bright blue eyes
For which I stopped hunting the wily fox
In longing for you I cannot see
To walk the road
Friend of my bosom
The mountains lie between me and you

I met a fairy woman
At the Rath of Beal an Atha
I asked her would any key
Unlock the love in my heart
And she said
In soft, simple language
When love enters the heart
It will never be driven from it
