Irish Translation Forum

I would like the Gaelic version of the poem "I am Rafteri The poet" mise Rafteri an file! can anyone help. I learned this as a boy brought up in Dublin but cannot remember the words or how to spell them.

Does anyone know the words of the Irish song "A droimainn donn dilis" I'm not sure if I have spelt this correctly but this was a lovely ballad in Gaelic.

Is Mise Raifteirí an file,
Lán dúchais is grádh,
Le súile gan solas,
Le ciúnas gan crá.

Ag dul síar ar m'aistear
Le solas mo chroí
Fann agus tuirseach
Go deireadh mo shlí

Féach anois mé
Is mo chúl le bhfalla
Ag seinm ceoil
Do phócaí folamh
...
an Droimeann Donn Dílis
A dhroimeann don dílis, a shíoda na mbó,
cá ngabhann tú san oíche is cá mbíonn tú sa ló?
Bíonn mise ar na coillte is mo bhuachaill i m' chomhair
agus d'fhág sé siúd mise ag sileadh na ndeor.

Níl fearann, níl tíos agam, níl fíonta ná ceol,
níl flatha i m' choimhdeacht, níl saoithe ná sló
ach ag síoról an uisce go minic sa ló
agus beathuisce agus fíon ag mo naimhde ar bord.

Dá bhfaighinnse cead aighnis, nó radharc ar an gcoróin
Sasanaigh a leidhbfinn mar a leidhbfinn seanabhróg
tré chnocaibh is tré ailtibh, is tré ghleanta dubha ceo
agus siú mar a shaorfainn mo dhroimeann donn óg.

It is better to start new threads for different subjects.

Many thanks for that. I thought this was the translation, but the english version of an droimeann donn dilis shows a different explanation on the last line of the first verse. Ta
