Translation of the song lyrics Bheadh Buachaillin Deas Ag Sile - Solas

Bheadh Buachaillin Deas Ag Sile (original)

Bheadh buachaillín deas ag Síle
Dá bpósadh sí mé mar fhear
Mharóinn an breac ar an taoide
Is coinín ar an ndumhaigh chomh maith
Ní iarfainn leí capall ná caoire
Airgead buí ná geal
Mar go mb’fhearr liomsa agam mar mhnaoí í
Ná aon inion rí dar mhair
Tá máithair gan taise ag Síle
Is ní bhraitheann sí a croí rómhaith
Tá sparán mór fada aici líonta
Ag lorg talamh gan cíos le fear
Chuma léi ard é nó íseal
Ba chuma léi búi nó geal
O ba chuma léi cam é nó díreach
Ach bheith aige caoire is ba
Ní mar sin mar mheasann mo Shíle
B’fhearr léi mise na míle fear
Mar is meidhreach sea sheinnfinn ar phíob di
'S is greannta do rincfinn dreas
Chuirfinnse i dtalamh na síolta
Is bhainfinn arís thar n-ais
'S nuair a thiocfainnse abhaile ní bhruíonfainn
Ach ag reacaireacht grinn lem' shearc
Tá mo mhargadh socair le Síle
Is ní bhrisfeadh Éire ar fad
Gan spleáchas dá máthair ná muintir
Rachaidh sí chun cinn gan stad
Pósfainn sa chathair an mhí seo
'S an sagart á dhíol go maith
Is ní dóichí go bhfanam sa tír seo
Ach ag reachtaireacht síos amach

Bheadh Buachaillin Deas Ag Sile (translation)

Síle would have a nice boy
If she married me as a man
The trout would kill on the tide
It's a rabbit on the dune as well
I would not ask her for a horse or a sheep
Yellow or bright silver
Because I prefer her as a wife
No surviving daughter of a king
Síle has a mother without moisture
She does not feel her heart too well
She has a big long purse stuffed
Looking for rent free land with a man
She seemed high or low
She seemed yellow or bright
O she seemed crooked or straight
But having sheep and cows
Not so my Síle thinks
She would rather have me than a thousand men
As merry yes I would play a pipe for her
And it's a fun dance
I planted in the ground the seeds
I would get back over
And when I came home I would not push
But jokingly joking with my love
My market is calm with Síle
And not the whole of Ireland would break
Regardless of her mother or family
She will progress relentlessly
I would get married in the city this month
The priest is selling well
I am unlikely to stay in this country
But legislating down out
