Céim ar Aghaidh: Taking your knowledge of Irish from the song Amhrán na gCupán further
Céim 1 Review:
Can you read all of this and understand it?
Review: Tá an ticéad ‘am don bhealach fada.
Dhá bhuidéal uisce don thuras.
Is ba bhreá liom cara a bheith in éindí liom.
‘Mé ag fágáil amárach. ‘mbeidh tú liom?
Nuair a táim imithe X2 Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann..
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s mo aoibh.
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘chuile thaobh
Ó, aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann
Tá an ticéad ‘am don bhealach fada.
Tá an saol mór ag fanacht liom.
Measc na sléibhte, taobh na habhann.
Áit a bhíonns an t-aer breá úr.
Ó bheadh sé i bhfad níos deise leat, a stór.
Nuair a táim imithe X2 Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann.
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s mo aoibh.
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘chuile thaobh.
Ó, aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann
Nuair a táim imithe X2 Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann.
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s mé ag caint.
Aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s mé ag seinnt.
Ó, aireoidh tú uait mé ‘s gan mé ann
If you need to, check the English again:
I’ve the ticket for the long way.
Two bottles of water for the trip.
And I’d like a friend to be with me.
I’m leaving tomorrow. Will you be with me?
When I’m gone X2 You’re gonna miss me and I not there.
You’re gonna miss me and my smile.
You’ll miss me every single way
Oh, you’re gonna miss me and I not there.
I’ve the ticket for the long way.
The big world is waiting for me.
Midst the mountains, by the river.
Where the air is nice and fresh.
Oh it would be a lot nicer with you, dear.
When I’m gone X2 You’re gonna miss me and I not there.
You’re gonna miss me and my smile.
You’ll gonna miss me every single way.
Oh, you’re gonna miss me and I not there.
When I’m gone X2 You’re gonna miss me and I not there.
You’re gonna miss me and my talking.
You’re gonna miss me and my playing.
Oh, you’re gonna miss me and I not there.
