Caoine Cill Chais -
Lament for Kilcash. Cill ChAisE (Kilcash) was the great house of one of the branches of the Butlers near
Clonmel,
Co. Tipperary, until well into the eighteenth century. To the east of the ancient church are the ruins of
Kilcash Castle. The haunting early
18th century song Cill Chais mourns the death of
Margaret Butler and more

Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad?
Tá deireadh na gcoillte ar lár,
Níl trácht ar Chill Chais ná a teaghlach,
Is ní chluinfear a ding go brách.
An áit úd 'na gcónaíodh an deá-bhean,
'Fuair gradam is meidhir thar mná,
Bhíodh iarlaí ag tarraing thar toinn ann,
Is an tAifreann binn á rá.
Ní chluinim fuaim lachan ná gé ann,
N á iolar ag éamh cois cuain,
Ná fiú na mbeacha chun saothair,
'Thugadh mil agus céir don slua.
Níl ceol binn milis na n-éan ann,
Le hamharc an lae 'dul uainn,
Ná an chuaichín i mbarra na gcraobh ann,
A chuireadh an saol chun suain.
Tá ceo ag titim ar chraobh ann,
N ach nglanann le gréin ná lá,
Tá smúit a' titim ón spéir ann,
Is a chuid uisce go léir a' trá.
Níl coill, níl cuileann, níl caor ann,
Ach clocha 'gus maol chlochán,
Páirc ná foraoise gan craobh ann,
Is d'imigh an géim chun fáin!
Áitím ar Mhuire is ar Íosa,
Go dtaga sí arís chugainn slán,
Go mbeidh rincí fada 'gabháil timpeall,
Ceol fidilí (veidhlín) is tinte cnámh,
Go dtógfar an baile seo ár sinsear,
Cill Chais breá, arís go hard,
Is go brách nó go dtiocfaidh an díle
N ach bhfeicfear é 'rís ar lár.
Anois mar bharr ar gach míghreann,
Chuaigh prionsa na nGael thar sáil' ,
Anonn le hainnir na míne,
'Fuair gradam sa Fhrainc 's sa Spáinn,
Anois tá a cuallacht á caoineadh,
'D'fhaigheadh airgead buí agus bán,
Is í nach dtógfadh seilbh na ndaoine,
Is í cara na bhfíor bhochtán.
Now what will we do for timber,
with the last of the woods laid low?
There's no talk of Cill Chais or its household and
its bell will be struck no more.
That dwelling where lived the good lady
most honoured and joyous of women---
earls made their way over wave there
and the sweet
Mass once was said.
Ducks' voices nor geese do I hear there,
nor the eagle's cry over the bay,
nor even the bees at their labour
bringing honey and wax to us all.
No birdsong there, sweet and delightful,
as we watch the sun go down,
nor cuckoo on top of the branches
settling the world to rest.
A mist on the boughs is descending
neither daylight nor sun can clear
A stain from the sky is descending
and the waters receding away.
No hazel nor holly nor berry
but boulders and bare stone heaps,
not a branch in our neighbourly haggard,
and the game all scattered and gone.
Then a climax to all of our misery:
the prince of the Gael is abroad
oversea with that maiden of mildness
who found honour in
France and
Spain.
Her company now must lament her,
who would give yellow money and white---
she who'd never take land from the people
but was friend to the truly poor.
I call upon
Mary and
Jesus
to send her safe home again:
dances we'll have in long circles
and bone-fires and violin music;
that Cill Chais,
the townland of our fathers,
will rise handsome on high once more
and till doom
or the
Deluge returns
we'll see it no more laid low.
