Cathain

Written by Rónán Ó Snodaigh

As recorded by Gráda on Endeavour

Irish English
Curfá: Chorus:
Cathain a thiocfadh tú abhaile thugaim? When will you come home to me?
Ó cár a dtagamar le chéile arís? When will we be together again?
Cathain a thiocfadh tú abhaile thugaim? When will you come home to me?
Fanadh mé ar an lá agus fanadh mé go dílís I'll wait for that day and I'll stay loyal
   
Braithim go bhfuil tú in easnamh orm I feel your absence
Ó braithim uait mé braithim tú i bhfad I feel you far away
Braithim go bhfuil tú in easnamh orm I feel that we're apart
'S neadar cathain a bhlaisfidh mé do bheoladh arís And I wonder when I'll taste your lips again
   
Curfá Chorus
   
Tá'n spéir fós ós mo chion, an talamh céanna fúm The sky's still up above, the same ground underneath
Na sléibhte i mo thimpeal mar a bhí siad a riamh The mountains around me are as they ever were
Tá'n taoide ag lionadh 's ag trá mar a bhíonn The tide is rising and retreating as it does
Ach ní ach ar leath shiúl 'tá mé gan tusa le mo thaobh And I'm only seeing through half an eye since you left my side
   
Curfá Chorus
   
Feiceann mé do shúile i mo bhrionglóidí I see your eyes in my dreams
Cloiseann mé do gháire agus mé í mo luí I hear your laughter where I'm laid
Feiceann mé an bóthar ó mo fhuinneog ins an tigh I see the road from the window in my house
An bóthar úd a thóg tú gan mise le do thaobh The road you took without me by your side
   
Curfá 2x Chorus 2x
