Gaol air Anna ni' n Nill Love for Anna, daughter of Neil
   
Mi dualach mi donn My hair, curly and brown
   
Mi mar chuthaig an coill' Like a cuckoo in a wood
   
Mi ma smeňrach an craoibh Like a thrush on a tree
   
Mi gu biorshuileach binn Keen my eyes, sweet my voice
   
Mi torrach mi trom I am heavy with child
   
Chan ann le balach mo throm But no ordinary lad is my child
   
Ach leis an lasgaire dhonn But by the dark-haired hero
   
Mac fir Bhaile nan Long Son of the Laird of the ships
   
Leis an čireadh na suinn With whom warriors would rise
   
Gaol ise gaol i She's my love
   
Gaol air Anna ni'n Nill Love for Anna, daughter of Neil
