Chí mi'n geamhradh [English translation]

I see winter in the wind

the snow is not far off.

Dark clouds and the trees bare,

tonight the night is cold.

Myself, I think that it was yesterday

the heat of summer was melting us

all afternoon on the hill

as you were lying lazily at my side.

It was many a night that we were courting,

many a night that we were laughing.

It was many a night that I used to think

that you would be with me for ever.

The sun doesn't stay all the year,

and time doesn't stand still.

You went away to the city1

and you left me with my winter.

It was many a night that we were courting,

many a night that we were laughing.

It was many a night that I used to think

that you would be with me for ever.

With me for ever.
