| Is do thángas an baile seo 'réir
| This is where I came from
|
| Is bhí se 'gam déanach go leor
| And it was pretty late
|
| Smé ar intinn an margadh a dhéanamh
| I intend to make the deal
|
| 'S nach scarfainn léi féin go deo
| And I would not part with her forever
|
| Níor tháinig a Daidí chun réitigh
| Daddy did not come to terms
|
| Cár mhiste domh é na dhóibh?
| What do I care about them?
|
| Bheirim slán is beannacht as mo ghaolta
| I bid farewell and blessings to my relatives
|
| 'S ní chasfaidh mé fhéin go deo
| And I will never turn myself in
|
| Níor cuireadh romham cuireadh na fáilte
| I was not invited to the welcome
|
| Ó thánas an tsráid seo thíos
| From the end of this street below
|
| On uair a dh’airigh mo ghrá geal
| Ever since my love felt bright
|
| Is go dtugas mo lámh do mhnaoi
| It's that I give my hand to a woman
|
| Is doigh leo go bhfuil mise pósta
| They think I'm married
|
| Is dár ndoigh, más doigh, ní fíor
| Of course, if not, not true
|
| Dar a leabhar atá thíos i mo phóca
| According to his book which is below in my pocket
|
| Is ag mealladh ban óg a bhíos
| I was attracted to young women
|
| Is a Chití na gcumann, ná séan mé
| It's Kitty of the associations, don't deny me
|
| Siúil feasta 'gus éalaigh liom
| Walk from now on and escape with me
|
| I ngleanntáin coilleadh nó sliabh' amuigh
| In wooded or mountain valleys' out
|
| Nó sealad faoi bhláth na gcrann
| Or a spell under the flower of the trees
|
| Do phósfainn i gan fhios don tsaol thú
| I would marry you in the unknown of life
|
| 'S don tsagart dá mh’fhéidir liom
| And for the priest if I can
|
| 'S muna bhfaighfear sinn cangailt' in Éirinn
| And if we don't find a link in Ireland
|
| Ó racham araon anonn | Oh I will both go over |
