Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Is trua gan peata'n mhaoir agam 'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
Is trua gan peata'n mhaoir agam 'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
Is trua gan peata'n mhaoir agam 'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
Is na caoirigh beaga bána And the little white sheep
   
Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
Is ó gairm, gairm thú And oh I call, I call you
Is grá mo chroí gan chealg thú You are my heart's love without deceit
Is ó gairm, gairm thú And oh I call, I call you
Is tú peata beag do mháthair You are your mother's little pet
   
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
Is fáilte ó mo ghrá geal And welcome from by fair love
   
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
Is caitín ó mo mháthair And a kitten from my mother
   
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam 'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
Is thabharfainn do mo stór í I would give it to my darling
   
(Curfá...) (Chorus...)
