D'éirigh mé ar maidin a tharraint Chun aonaigh mhóir A dhíol is a cheannacht Mar a dhéanadh mo dhaoine romham Bhuail tart ar an bhealach mé Is shuigh mise síos a dh'ól Is le Siobhán Ní Dhuibhir Gur ól mise luach na mbróg
A Siobhán Ní Dhuibhir An miste leat mé bheith tinn? Mo bhrón is mo mhilleadh Más miste liom tú bheith i gcill Bróinte 'gus muilte bheith 'Scileadh ar chúl do chinn Ach cead a bheith in Iorras Go dtara síol Éacha chun cinn
A Siobhán Ní Dhuibhir Is tú bun agus barr mo scéil Ar mhná na cruinne Go dtug sise an báire léi Le gile le finne le maise Is le dhá dtrian scéimh Is nach mise an trua Mhuire Bheith ag scaradh amárach léi
I set out one morning For market Buying and selling As my people did before me I got thirsty on the way And sat down to drink And with Susan O'Dwyer I drank the price of the boots
Susan O'Dwyer Do you care if I'm ill? Sorrow and ruin be upon me If I wish you to be in a graveyard My grief and troubles Rain down on you But you can stay in Irras Until the tribe of Eve comes to the fore
Susan O'Dwyer You're the beginning and the end of my story From the women of the world She took the prize With brightness and fairness, goodness And almost perfect beauty And I'm the sad case To leaving her tomorrow
