This song appears on Clannad’s fifth album Crann Úll, released in 1980.
Tá crann úll gcoittnéal an ghairdín Is súifimid síos no go gcuire siad an fál air Ar eagla go dtitfeadh 'n bunadh óg i ngrá leis
Curfá (i ndiaidh gach véarsa): Bhogfaidh tusa Bogfaidh mise Is bogfaimid le chéile Chraoibhín aoibhin aluinn ó
B'fhearr liom an gabha' tá ag obair sa chéartan Ag bualadh an t-ord go lúfair is go láidir A shaothrú an scilling is a dolfadh dtí au tabhaime e
B'fhearr liom an feirmeoir ag seoladh amach go h-aerach Maidin dheas san earrach le seisreach is péire Ag cromadh ar an obair 's ag tiontú an chreafóg
B'fhearr liom an t-iascaire amuigh ina bháidín Ag cur a chuid eangach 's ag breith ar na bradáin Ag troid leis na tonnta o oíche go maidin
There's an apple tree growing in the garden And we'll sit down, until they put the earth on it In case the local youth fall in love with it
Chorus (after each verse): You will move I will move And we will move together Oh beautiful, charming branches
I prefer the smith that is working in the workshop Hitting the hammer strongly and steadily Earning his pay and drinking it in the tavern
I prefer the farmer herding happily On a nice day in spring with a plow and gloves Applying himself to his work and turning earth
I prefer the fisherman out in his little boat Casting his net and catching the salmon Fighting with the waves from morning until night
