Cailin Deas Cruite Na Mbo |
| It was on a fine summer’s morning |
| When the birds sweetly tuned on each bough |
| I heard a fair maid sing most charming |
| As she sat a’milking her cow; |
| Her voice so enchanting, melodious |
| It left me scarce unable to go |
| My heart it is soothed in solice |
| My cailín deas crúite na mbó |
| With courtesy, I did salute her |
| «Good morrow, most young, noble maid |
| I am your captive slave for the future.» |
| «Kind sir, do not banter,» she said |
| «I'm not such a rare precious jewel |
| That I should enamour you so |
| I am just a plain country girl,» |
| Says cailín deas crúite na mbó |
| «I'll beg you’ll withdraw and don’t tease me |
| I cannot consent unto thee |
| I like to live single and airy |
| Till more of the world I do see |
| New cares they would me embarrass |
| Besides, sir, my fortune is low |
| Until I get rich I’ll not marry,» |
| Says cailín deas crúite na mbó |
| «A young maid is like a ship sailing |
| There’s no knowing how long she may steer |
| For with every blast she’s in danger |
| Oh, consent love and banish all care |
| For riches I care not a farthing |
| Your affection I want and no more |
| In comfort I’d wish to enjoy you |
| My cailín deas crúite na mbó.» |
