Lyrics:

Bhí mise i ngrá le cailín
Le blianta anuas
Liza ab ainm di
Ach go tobann thánaig sí chugam
Le scéal a bhris mo chroí

Chorus (after each verse):
Liza
Liza mo stór
Liza
Fan liom

Chuartaigh mise thoir
Agus chuartaigh mise thiar
Chuartaigh mé arís fé dhó
Go dtáinig an lá ar phill mo ghrá
Le fanacht liom go deo

Bhí Liza ar shíul gan dóigh
Ni thánaig sí mo thoir
Bhí Liza in bean gan chéill
Ach is cuma tá muid go sona
I mbothán beag línn féin

I'd been in love with a girl For years and years Liza was her name But suddenly she came to me With news that broke my heart Liza Liza baby Liza Stay with me I searched high I searched low I searched again and again Till one day my love returned To stay with me forever Liza was off wandering She didn't come looking for me Liza was a little fool But who cares? We're happy In a little hut by ourselves
