Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Tiocfaidh an Samhradh agus fásfaidh an féar The summer will come and grass will grow
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr glas ar bharr na gcraobh And leaves will come on the trees
Tiocfaidh mo rúnsearc le bánú an lae My love will return with the break of day
Is buailfidh sí tiúin suas le cumhaidh i mo dhéidh With a song of love for me
   
Is óg 's is óg a chuir mé dúil i ngreann From my early youth I was fond of fun
Do dhéanfainn súgradh le mo rún ar faill And the company of my darling girl
Níl baile cuain ann nár gluaiseas ann In every port that I did dwell
Nach bhfuaireas póigín ó mo stóirín ann I received a sweet kiss from my love
   
Scairt mé aréir ag an doras thall Last night I called to her door
Scairt mé arís ar mo mhíle grá I called once more to see my love
Is é dúirt a Daidí liom nach raibh sí ann Her father told me she wasn't there
Ná gur éalaigh sí aréir leis an buachaill fionn That she had eloped with the fair-haired boy
   
Tiocfaidh an Samhradh agus fásfaidh an féar The summer will come and grass will grow
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr glas ar bharr na gcraobh And leaves will come on the trees
Tiocfaidh mo rúnsearc le bánú an lae My love will return with the break of day
Is buailfidh sí tiúin suas le cumhaidh i mo dhéidh With a song of love for me
