Lean out of the window (James Joyce)/Tar go dtí an fhuinneog

File: James Joyce
Cumadóir: Syd Barrett
Lean out of the window,
    Goldenhair,
I heard you singing
    A merry air.

My book is closed;
    I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
    On the floor.

I have left my book,
    I have left my room,
For I heard you singing
    Through the gloom,

Singing and singing
    A merry air.
Lean out of the window,
    Goldenhair.

Tar go dtí an fhuinneog

Tar go dtí an fhuinneog
    ‘Niamh Chinn Óir.
Chuala tú ’canadh
    I do bhinnghlór.

Dhúnas an leabhar.
    Ní léim níos mó.
Breathnaím ar lasracha
    Ó óró.

D’fhágas an leabhar.
    Is an seomra d’fhág
Mar chuala mé amhrán
    Tríd an scáil.

Ag canadh os ard
    I do bhinnghlór.
Tar go dtí an fhuinneog
    ’Niamh Chinn Óir.
