| Do casadh cailín deas orm in uaigneas na dtrá
| I met a pretty girl in the loneliness of the beach
|
| Arllúb na coille glaise uair a bheag roim lá
| The grove of green woods a little before day
|
| É'anffhreagar' ó a thug sí liom go ciúin agus go tláth:
| He answered her quietly and calmly:
|
| «Tá an saol ‘na gcoladh is bogaimís an súisín bán»
| «Life is a body and let's soften the white sap»
|
| ‘S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom a stóirín mó chroí
| ‘And if you’re with me be with me sweetheart my heart
|
| ‘S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom os comhair a' tí
| ‘And if you’re with me be with me in front of the house
|
| Má bhíonn tú liom ‘s gur liom gach órlach ded' chroí
| If you are with me's I have every inch of your heart
|
| ‘Sé mó mhíle chnoc nách liom dé domhnaigh tú mar mhnaoi
| ‘Six thousand hills that I don’t like on Sunday you as a woman
|
| Ó do bhíos seal im' bhuachaill éadrom mhear ghroí
| For a time I was a light-hearted boy
|
| ‘S do bhíosa sheal agus d’imireoinn cárta le mnaoi
| It was your turn visa and I would play a card with a woman
|
| Ó do bhíosa seal agus d’imireoinn cúig nó thrí
| Oh my gosh and I played five or three
|
| Chun gur dhein a bhean so leongó liúngó dhom chroí
| Because this woman made a longing for my heart
|
| ‘S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom a stóirín mó chroí
| ‘And if you’re with me be with me sweetheart my heart
|
| ‘S má bhíonn tú liom bí liom os comhair a' tí
| ‘And if you’re with me be with me in front of the house
|
| Má bhíonn tú liom, ‘s gur liom gach órlach ed' chroí
| If you are with me, I'm every inch of your heart
|
| ‘Sé mo mhíle chnoc nách liom dé domhnaigh tú mar mhnaoi | ‘It’s my thousand hills that I don’t like you Sunday as a woman |
