Lyrics Siúil A Rún - Clannad

Siúil A Rún

I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill
‘Til every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
I’ll sell my rod, I’ll sell my reel
I’ll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siuil, siuil, siuil a run
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
I’ll dye my petticoats, I’ll dye them red
And 'round the world I’ll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance;
If he e’er comes back, 'tis but a chance
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Translation:
Siuil, siuil, siuil a run, Walk, walk, walk, O love
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin Walk quickly to me, softly move;
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion Walk to the door, and away we’ll flee
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan And safe may my darling be
