Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an fhoghmhair A stóirín gur dhearc mé uaim Ba deas do chos i mbróig 'Sba ró-dheas do leagan siubhail Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rósaí 'Sdo chúirníní bhí fighte dlúith Monuar gan sinn 'ár bpósadh Nó'r bórd luinge 'triall 'un siubhail
Tá buachaillí na h-áite seo A' gartha 'gus ag éirghe teann Is lucht na gcochán árd A' deánamh fáruis do mo chailín donn Dá ngluaiseadh Rí na Spáinne Thar sáile 's a shlóighte cruinn Bhrúighfinn féar is fásach 'S bhéinn ar láimh le mo chailín donn
Ceannacht buaibh ar aontaigh' Dá mbínn agus mo chailín donn Gluais is tar a chéad-searc Nó go dtéidh muid thar Ghaoth-Bearra 'nonn Go sgartar ó n-a chéile Bárr na gcraobh 's an eala ón tuinn Ní sgarfar sin ó chéile 'S níl ach baois díbh á chur 'n mur gcionn
On the green stubble-fields of autumn I saw you, my sweetheart Nice were your feet in shoes And wonderful your nimble gait Your hair the color of roses And your ringlets tightly plaited Alas that we're not married Or on board ship sailing away
The boys around here are Complaining and getting fired up And the ones with the high-piled hair Are making homes for my brown-haired girl If the King of Spain would Go abroad with his assembled men I would trample pasture and wilderness And I would be with my brown-haired girl
If only my brown-haired girl and I Were buying cows at the fair Go and come first love Until we go over to Gaoth-Bearra Even if the tops of the branches were parted And the swan were separated from the waves That would not separate us And those who go against us are foolish
