Nach iomaí maidin Domhnaigh chaith mé súgach maith go leor, Dul síos le mo luichtín móna is dhá chúrsa ar an seol, Níor ghéill mé riamh do mhúr ar bith, d’fharraige ná do cheo, Nó go dtéinn ag caint le plúr na mban bhíodh romham sa mbaile mór.
Mo ghrá thú, a Mháire Ní Ghríofa, is tú is míne ná na mná, Níor iarr mé riamh an cnaigín ort nach líonfá suas an cárt, Nuair a shílfinn a dhul á íoc leat ní dhéanfá liom ach greann, Is ní scarfaidh mo chroí go héag leat go dtí an geimhreadh thar éis mo bháis.
Dá bhfeicfeása bád chlann Dhonncha gach lá dhá dtéann sí chun siúil, Ó phlúchfadh sí an fharraige is ní fhliuchfadh sí ceann seoil, Bheadh tús ar chuile ghála aici dhá dtagadh an lá mór, Is go ndíolfainn mo luichtín móna is mé ag comhrá le mo stór.
Nuair a imeos mé as an áit seo agus nuair a dhíbreofar mé as an mbád, Nuair a chaithfeas mé oíche i Maínis ’s dhá oíche ar an Trá Bháin, Ó siúlfaidh mé thart sna liberties ’s anonn faoi Chondae an Chláir ’S mura bpósfaidh Máire Ní Ghríofa mé, ní fhillfidh mé go brách.
Not many merry Sunday morning I spent quite good, Going down to my turf luichtín two courses on the sail, was I ever gave any to a wall, or mist of the sea, Or dtéinn talking to women was flour me in town.
I love you, Mary not Griffith, you are finer than the women, not asked me never the gill need not perform up the liquor, When shílfinn going paid you would not do to humor, is not vacate my heart you expire until after the winter over my death.
If you saw the boat family Dhonncha every day two it goes away, From phlúchfadh it the sea is not wet it one way, would start on every gale her two had come the big day, is that ndíolfainn my luichtín turf I chat with my dear .
When imeos me from this place and when dhíbreofar me out of the boat, when expended night I in Maínis and two nights on the beach White, From walk me around the Liberties and over about County Clare And not marry Mary Griffith I, not I return forever.
