Lyrics : English Translation :
I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
I wish I sat on my true love's knee
Many a fond story he told to me
He told me things that ne'er shall be
Chorus :
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin Go, go, go my love
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
His hair was black, his eye was blue
His arm was strong, his word was true
I wish in my heart I was with you
(Chorus)
I'll dye my petticoat, I'll dye it red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
'Til I find my love alive or dead
(Chorus 2x)
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
