In iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhras Do bhíodh ina cónaí cois taobh na Leamhna Bhí bothán agam féin ann is fuinneog i gceann de Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam 'sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna
Curfá: Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna bána Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna b'iad a b'fhearr liom Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna geala bána Na gamhna maidin shamhraidh ag damhsa ar na bánta
Faightear dom cana is faightear dom bhuarach Is faightear dom soitheach ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith á síorchur i m'chluasa Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó ag teacht chun buaile
(Curfá)
Rachaimid ar an aonach is ceannóimid gamhna Is cuirfimid ar féar iad amach ins na gleannta Íosfaidh siad an féar is barr an aitinn ghallda Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun an bhainne i gcóir an tSamhraidh
(Curfá 2x)
I'm a herdsman's daughter sure enough Who once lived down by the banks of the Laune I had a cabin there a window in the gable While I heated the milk I called in the calves
Chorus: Aililiú the calves, the pretty calves Aililiú the calves, I loved them the best Aililiú the calves, the fine pretty calves Dancing in the meadow on a clear summer's morning
Get me a can and get me a ladle Get me a vessel to take all the cream The magic music of the world always around me But sweeter sounding still the cattle lowing to the parlor
(Chorus)
Let us go to the fair and buy us some calves Put them to grass out above in the valleys They'll eat all the grass and the tufts of the strange gorse And come home for the milk at the start of the summer
(Chorus 2x)
