|
Theid mé suas ar an croc is airde
|
I went up to the highest hill to see
|
|
Feach a bhfeic mé an fear a bháta
|
If I could see the man of the boat
|
|
An dtig tú anocht nó an dtig tú amarach
|
Will you come tonight or come tomorrow?
|
|
No Muna dtig tú idir is trua atá mé
|
If you do not come between, it's sad I'll be
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
A fhir
a bháta is na horó eile
|
Man of the boat and no one else
|
|
A fhir
a bháta is na horó eile
|
Man of the boat and no one else
|
|
A fhir
a bháta is na horó eile
|
Man of the boat and no one else
|
|
Ceád mile failte gach ait a te tú
|
A hundred thousand welcomes everywhere you go
|
|
|
|
|
Tá mo chroíse briste bruité
|
My heart is bruised and broken
|
|
Is tric na deoir a'ruith o mo shuíle
|
And tears flow from my eyes
|
|
An dtig tú inniú nó am bidh me suil leat?
|
Will you come today or will I expect you?
|
|
No an druid mé an doras le osna tuirseach?
|
Or will I close the door with a tired sigh?
|
|
|
|
|
Gheall mo leanann domh gúna den tsioda
|
My love promised me a dress of silk
|
|
Gheall é sin, agus breacan riabhach
|
He promised me that and a gray tartan
|
|
Fainne óir anns an bhfeicfinn íomha
|
A gold ring where I'd see my reflection
|
|
Ach is eagal liom go ndearn sé dearmad
|
But I'm afraid he has forgotten
|
|
|
|
|
Tá mo croíse ag dul in airde
|
My heart is lifting
|
|
Chan don fidleir, chan don clairsoir
|
Not for the tailor or the harper
|
|
Ach do Stuirithoir an bhata
|
But for the navigator of the boat
|
|
Is muna dtig tú abhaile is trua atá mé
|
If you don't come, I'll be very sad
|
