| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| A mh'ansacht na n-ansacht | My love and delight |
| A dtug mé m'ansacht go léir duit | To whom I gave all my love |
| Nach cuimhin leat mo mhealladh | Do you remember how you befuddled me |
| Is rinn tú'n fheall orm na dhéidh sin | And then betrayed me? |
| Anois atá mé folamh | Now I am empty |
| Is go bhfuil m'intinn lánbhuartha | And my thoughts troubled |
| 'S mé ag amharc ar mo leannán | To see how my sweetheart |
| Ag fear eile á bréagadh | Is coaxed by another |
| Éireoidh mé ar maidin | I will rise in the morning |
| Le theacht dheirg na gréine | As the sun turns red |
| Agus fuígfidh mé mo bheannacht | And I will say my blessing and my farewell |
| Ag cailíní an tsaoil seo | To the girls of the world |
| Bhéarfaidh mé an ruaig sin | I will go away |
| Thart suas fá Loch Éirne | By Lake Erne |
| 'S ní phillfidh mé 'na bhaile | And I will not return home until |
| Go gcanfaidh 'n chuach ann gach réigiún | The cuckoo's song doesn't echo in the sky |
| Mar bhláth bán na neoiníní | Like the white daisy petals |
| Bhíos a' fás i dtús a' tSamhraidh | That grow at the beginning of summer |
| Nó mar fhaolán dheas bhán | Or like the precious white gull |
| A bhíos a' snámh ar na méillte | That flies over the dunes |
| Mar ghrian os cionn na dtuillte | Like the sun over the high sea |
| 'Sí dealrú thart timpeall | All resplendent |
| 'S nach siúd mar bhíos mo ghrása | Such is my beloved |
| A' deanámh rámhaillí i m'intinn | Who has left me devastated |
