Lyrics : English Translation :
Tiocfaidh an samhradh Summer will come
Agus fásfaidh an féar Grass will grow
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas Green leaves will sprout
Ar bharr na gcraobh On the treetops
Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc My true love will come
Le bánú an lae At the break of day
Agus buailfidh sí túin suas And strike up a tune
Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh Out of lonliness for me
Scairt mé aréir I called last night
Ag an doras thall At the house yonder
Scairt mé aríst I called again
An raibh mo rún le fáil To see if my true love was there
Dúirt a daidí liom Her father said
Nach raibh sí ann She wasn't around
Nó gur éaluigh sí aréir That she eloped last night
Leis an buachaill donn With the brown-haired boy
Brón ar an fharraige A curse on the sea
Mar is sí atá mór Because it's so vast
'Sí atá ag dul idir mé It goes between me
Is mo mhíle stór And the one that I love
Siúlfaidh mé na bailte seo I'll walk these towns
Agus siúlfaidh mé na róid And tramp the road
Agus dheamhan bean a phósfas mé And no woman will I marry
No go dtéim faoi fhód 'Til I lie in my grave
Tiocfaidh an samhradh Summer will come
Agus fásfaidh an féar Grass will grow
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas Green leaves will sprout
Ar bharr na gcraobh On the treetops
Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc My true love will come
Le bánú an lae At the break of day
Agus buailfidh sí túin suas And strike up a tune
Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh Out of lonliness for me
