Ag meán oíche gabhaim siar don aill Ag lorg mo ghrá atá caillte Suím ar an charraig ag impí uirthi Filleadh arais chugam ag baile
Curfá: Ó, mo chailín donn Mo ghrá geal is mo chroí Fill arais go luath Is bí liom arís
Is fada í ar shiúl uaim Mo leanbh is mo stór aici Is trua gur cheil mé mo ghrá ort Mo chailín i bhfad ó mo thigh
(Curfá)
Anios táim ag dul in aois Im' shui cois teallaigh liom féin Ag smaoincamh ar 'n am atá thart A chaitheas lem chailín donn
Ó, mo chailín donn Mo ghrá geal is mo chroí Fill arais go luath Is bí liom
At midnight I go to the cliffs Searching for my lost one Sitting by the rocks and pleading For her to return home to me
Chorus: Oh my brown-haired girl Bright love of my heart Come back soon And be with me again
It's a long time since she left With my child and my wealth It is a pity I hid my love from her The one who is far from me
(Chorus)
Now I'm getting on in years Sitting alone by the hearth Thinking of the days that I spent With my brown-haired girl
Oh my brown-haired girl Bright love of my heart Come back soon And be with me
