traditional Gaelic song Translation
Tra la / hey nonny no etc ...
I am so sad and needing you.
It's many a wet cold night
I journeyed all alone
Until I reached the place
Where the bright love of my heart was.
In my harp there was no music
In my fingers no ability
Your very kiss made my wound
I became acquainted with poetry
