Hoireann o hi ri u ho |
Hoireann o hi ri u ho |

Hu o ai hi o ho eile |
Hu o ai hi o ho eile |

Ghabh mi mach ri gleann na geigeadh |
I went out by the glen of branches |
| |
|
|
Thainin mi steach gleann na spreidheadh |
I came back by the glen of the flocks |
| |
|
|
Fhuair mi ghruagach dhonn gun eirigh |
I found the brown-haired girl still in bed |
| |
|
|
Lub mi 'na mo bhreacan fhein i |
I folded her in my own plaid |
| |
|
|
'S thug mi boid nach b'eagal beud dhi |
And vowed that she need fear no harm |
| |
|
|
Gun tugainn dha mathair fhein i |
That I would give her to her own mother |
| |
|
|
'S mise ghaoil a bha 'nam eiginn |
How distressed I was, my love |
| |
|
|
Ach ma thilleas mis' as Eirinn |
But if I come back from Ireland |
| |
|
|
'S tusa ghaoil a gheibh am preusant |
What presents you will get |
