Tar Liom from Dán by Sharon Ní Chuilibín

Tar Liom | Come with Me


Ó a stórín,
nach athnaíonn tú mé,
an grá atá ann go deo, cá imíonn tú gan é?
Fear gheall na síogaí
nach láidir é do draíócht, Scaoil uainn an dorchadas ó chroí go mbeimid saor
Tar liom, go barr an sliabh Feicfimid, cad atá fíor.
An sruth an sliabh, an trá do aghaidh,
do aghaidh, mar pástaí mar a bhí is beidh, (x2)
Ó, an fhírinne, a fásann mar an síol, Tá an grá mar solas ó,
Tá an ghriain gheall fós sa spéír

*****
O, my love, donʼt you recognise me?
As love is always there -
is it even possible to go anywhere without that love?
Bright man of the fairy host,
Well, isnʼt your magic strong.
Let us release from our hearts
All darkness, that we may be free.
Let us go to the top of the mountain,
We shall see what is real.
The stream, the mountain, the beach, your face: as children we were once, to be again.
O, and truth that grows from a seed. As Love is like the Light,
The bright sun still shines in the sky.
