Lyrics of Suil A Ruin - Ronan Hardiman

Suil A Ruin (original)

I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill
'Til every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
Suil, suil, suil a ruin
Go, go, go, my love
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin
Go quietly and go peacefully
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel
I’ll sell my only spinning wheel
And buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
Suil, suil, suil a ruin
Go, go, go, my love
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin
Go quietly and go peacefully
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I’d not complain
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
Suil, suil, suil a ruin
Go, go, go, my love
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin
Go quietly and go peacefully
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
Suil, suil, suil a ruin
Go, go, go, my love
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin
Go quietly and go peacefully
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling

I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill
'Til every tear would turn a mill
Goodbye, my dear

Hope for benefits and hope quietly

Look to the door and escape with me
Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
And may you go safely, my darling
