English Translation
:
|
|
|
|
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
|
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
|
|
|
|
Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
|
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
|
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
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
|
|
|
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
|
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
|
|
|
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
|
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
|
|
|
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
|
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
|
|
|
But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back, 'tis but a chance
|
|
|
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
|
And may you go safely, my darling
|
