Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Éirigh suas a stóirín Rise up, my love
Mura bfhuil tú 'do shuí If you're still in bed lying
Oscail an doras Open the door
Agus lig mise chun ti That I might come and recline
Tá buidéal im' aice By my side I've a bottle
Bhéarfas deoch do mhnaoi an tí That I've brought for your mother
Agus tá súil agam nach ndiúltaíonn And I hope she'll allow it
Tú mé fá do iníon That you shall be mine
   
Nuair a éirím amach ar maidin When I rise in the morning
Agus dearcaim uaim siar And look o'er the way
Is dearcaim ar a'bhaile And I look at the place
Úd a bhfuil agam le dul ann Where I'll spend the long day
Titeann na deóra The tears fall in streams
Ina sróite liom síos Down my two cheeks like rain
Agus nímse míle osna And many's the time
Bíos cosúil le cumhaidh That I sigh for that maid
   
I ngleanntan coilleadh uagní In the thick wooded glen
Is lag brónach a bím I live there in loneliness
Ó Dhomhnach go Domhnach From Sunday to Sunday
'S mé ag cathamh mo shaoil Spending time on my own
'Smé ag feitheamh gach trathnóna The coming and going
Ce rachadh 'na ród no cé thiocfadh 'n tí I watch o'er the road-way
'S gan duine ar an domhan mhór And nothing in this wide world
A thógfadh mo chroí Will lift up 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 And roost with each other
Ar 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
