An Caoineadh 

Lament for a Dead Child 

Transcribed by Dr Noirín Ní Rian from Cáit Ní Gallchóir, Donegal, Ireland.

Translation by Dr Dáibhí Ó Cróinín
Sairiú

And o woe!

Agus a leanbh

My child

Cad a dhéanfaidh mé?

What will I do?

Tá tú ar s(h)iúl uaim

You are gone from me

Sairiú 

And o woe!

Agus an uiridh

And last year

Níl duine ar bith agam

I have no one

Sairiú 

And woe!

I am alone

Dá mbeithfeá go moch agam

If I had you early (in the morning)

Agus och och! Och airiú gan thú                                                                                                                            

And woe is me without you
