Tá mo chleamhnas déanta ó athrú aréir
S'ní mó ná go dtaithníonn an bhean liom féin
Ach fágfaidh mé i mo dhiaidh í
'gus imeoidh mé liom féin
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach
My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But I'll take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods all over.
***úil mise thoir agus ***úil mise thiar.
***úil mise Corcaigh 'gus sráide Bh'l'áth Cliath
Ach sámhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh.
'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhág mo chroí cráite
I walked up and I walked down.
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns,
But no equal to my true love could I find.
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken.
D'éirigh mé ar maidin dhá uair roimh an lá
'gus fuair mé litir ó mó mhile ghrá
Chuala mé an smóilin 's an londubh á rá
Gur ealiagh mo ghrá thar sáile
I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love.
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean.
