| A Bhennáin, a bhúiredáin | Oh little stag, thou little bleating one |
| A bhéicedáin bhinn | Oh melodious little clamorer |
| Is bhinn linn in cúicherán | Sweet to us is the music |
| Do ní tú 'sin ghlinn | Thou makest in the glen |
| A Bhennáin, a bhúiredáin | Oh little stag, thou little bleating one |
| A bhéicedáin bhinn | Oh melodious little clamorer |
| Is bhinn linn in cúicherán | Sweet to us is the music |
| Do ní tú 'sin ghlinn | Thou makest in the glen |
| A dhrainéin, a dhelgnacháin | Oh little blackthorn, little thorny one |
| Dil dol doh roh day | Dil dol doh roh day |
| A mhinéin na chonaire | Oh minen of the pathway |
| Dil dol doh ray | Dil dol doh ray |
| A dhriséoc, a dhruimnechóc | Oh briar, little arched one |
| Dil dol doh roh day | Dil dol doh roh day |
| A chaillech, a chuirrechennach | Oh hag, oh round-headed one |
| In raga for ech? | Wilt thou go on a steed? |
| A Bhennáin, a bhúiredáin | Oh little stag, thou little bleating one |
| A bhéicedáin bhinn | Oh melodious little clamorer |
| Is bhinn linn in cúicherán | Sweet to us is the music |
| Do ní tú 'sin ghlinn | Thou makest in the glen |
| Is mé Suibhne sirthechán | I am Suibhne, a poor suppliant |
| Lúath reithim thar gleann | Swiftly do I race across the glen |
| Nochan é m'ainm dligthechán | That is not my lawful name |
| Mó is ainm dam Fer Benn | Rather is it Fer Benn |
