Translation of the song Liam (Gaelic Version) artist In Extremo
Liam (Gaelic Version)
Liam
Lá seideadh amháin
One gusty day
Nuair luí sí ina theannta
When she lay despairing
Shéid an stoirm, bhris na tonnta
The storm blew, the waves broke
Lá ar bhádh a stór sa mhuir
On the day her love died at sea
Chaoin an gaoth oíche
The night wind* cried
Chaoin sí ina cluas
It cried in her ears
Fada amach
Far away
Chuaigh sé
He went**
Do stór caillte
Her lost love
Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta
Liam, Liam, I will always be forlorn for you
Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir
Liam, Liam, I have love for the sea
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Beidh mé agat gan mhoill
I'll be with you soon
I mbád a hathair
In her father's boat
Lán sí le h-éirí gréine
She left with the rising sun
Sheol si de lá is d'oíche
She sailed day and night
D'impigh sí na Déithe
She beseeched the Gods
Bhí an chinnúint léi
Fate was with her that day
Rinne said trócaire uirthi
They took mercy on her
Fada amuigh
Far out to sea
Ansin bhuail sí le long
She met with a ship
Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta
Liam, Liam, I will always be forlorn for you
Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir
Liam, Liam, I have love for the sea
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Beidh mé agat gan mhoill
I'll be with you soon
Chaptaen, cogar anois dom
Captain, confide in me
An bhfuil mo stór in bhur measc
Is my love amongst you?
Stróic na tonnta é thar bhord
The waves struck him overboard,
Rug an mhuir fhián é léi
The wild sea bore him away with her
Chaoin an cailín
The girl cried
Chaoin sí go géar
She cried loud and shrill
Fada amuigh
Far out to sea
Gur imigh a deora le mhuir
Her tears disappeared into the ocean
Liam, Liam, bím I gcónai I do theannta
Liam, Liam, I will always be forlorn for you
Liam, Liam, Tá grá agam don mhuir
Liam, Liam, I have love for the sea
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam, Liam
Beidh mé agat gan mhoill
I'll be with you soon
