Lyrics :	English Translation :

Rise up, my darling
Mura bfhuil tú do shuí	If you're not up already
Foscail a' doras	Open the door
Agus lig mise 'un tí	And let me into the house
Ta buidéal im aice	There's a bottle beside me
Bhéarfas deoch do mhnaoi an tí	That'll give a drink to the woman of the house
Is tá súil 'gam nach ndiúltuigheann	And I hope you don't
Tú mé fa do níon	Refuse me your daughter

I ngleanntain na coilleadh uagní	In the glens of the lonely wood
Is lag bró nach a bim	I am weak and sad
Ó Dhomnach go Domhnach	From Sunday to Sunday
'S mé ag cathamh mo shaol	As I spend my life
'Mé feitheamh gach trathnóna	I look every evening to see
Ce shiúlúil 'na ród no cé thiocfadh 'n ti	Who would walk on the road or come to the house
'S gan duine ar an domhan mhór	And there's no one on the great earth
A thógfadh mo chroí	Who would come and lift my heart

Nach aoibhinn don éanlaith	Isn't it great for the birds
A éiríos gach lá	That rise up every morning
'S a luíos arís ar	And roost with each other
An aonchraoibh amháin	On the same bush or spray
Ní h'é sin dom féin	But that's not how it is
'S do mo chéad mhíle grá	For both me and my true-love
Is i bhfad i bhfad ó chéile	For it's far from each other
Bíos ár n-éirí gach lá	That we rise every day

Bheirim-se mo mhallacht	I send my curse
Ar mhnaoi óige __	On the young women __
