Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Tiocfaidh an samhradh Summer will come
Agus fásfaidh an fhear And the grass will spring
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas And the trees will bring forth
Ar bharr na gcraobh Their foliage green
Tiocfaidh mo rún searc My true love will come
Le bánú an lae At the dawn of the day
Agus buailfidh sí tiúin suas And in sorrow I'll play
Le cumhaidh i mo dhiadh For her a mournful lay
   
Is óg's is óg a chuir mé From an early age
Dúil i ngreann I like sport and fun
Dhéanfainn súgradh And I'd join my true love
Le mo rún ar faill As the chance would come
Níl baile cuain ar bith There's no harbor town now
'A ngluaisfinn ann That I'd be in
Nach bhfaighinn maighdean óg But I'd find a fair maid
Deas a thrialladh liom To walk hand in hand
   
Splóid ar an fharraige Bad cess to the ocean
Ná is í atá mór But it's broad and wide
Is í atá a gabhail idir mé It separates me from
Is mo mhíle stór My joy and pride
D'fhag sí ar an bhaile seo mé It leaves me here now
A déanamh bróin To grieve and mourn
Is gan aon súil lena feiceál Without hope of seeing
Arís níos mó Her forever more
   
Scairt mé aréir I called last night
Ag an doras ann To her parent's door
Scairt mé arís And I called again
Ar mo rún go teann On my love once more
'Sé duirt a daidí liom Her father told me
Nach raibh sí ann She was not there
Ná gur ealaigh sí aréir She eloped with the boy
Leis an buachaill donn With the rusty hair
