Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Go, go, go, my love
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
   
Chorus:  
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Go, go, go, my love
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
   
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
'Til every tear would turn a mill		  
   
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel		  
   
(Chorus)  
   
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead		  
   
(Chorus)  
   
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Go, go, go, my love
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
   
(Chorus)
