Maidin fhómhair ’s mo thriall go Fóchoill, Cé a chasfaí sa ród orm ach stór mo chroí, Ba dírí a gruaig ná an rós sa ngairdín, ’S ba bhinne a béilín ná na ceolta sí, Thug mé spéis don chailín óg deas, ’Gus d’iarr mé póg ar stór mo chroí Sé a dúirt sí, ‘Stad is ná stróic mo chlóca Gan fios an ghnó sin ag bean an tí.’

Turning her mother coming in the road I Without Fibre saddened her that her hair to wind, was money our wedding in her pocket, and a house by the drink she gave me, She gave me advice to daughter to marry With young priest was not much in the country, I let it past me with musical ailleog And back Fóchoill ever till i s.
