Traditional Irish song

lyrics

Tiocfaidh an samhradh
Agus fásfaidh an féar
Tiocfaidh an duilliúr ghlas
Ar bharr na gcraobh
Tiocfaidh mo rúinsearc
Le bánú an lae
Agus buailfidh sí túin suas
Le cumha 'mo dhiaidh

Scairt mé aréir
Ag an doras thall
Scairt mé aríst
An raibh mo rún le fáil
Dúirt a daidí liom
Nach raibh sí ann
Nó gur éaluigh sí aréir
Leis an buachaill donn

Brón ar an fharraige
Mar is sí atá mór
'Sí atá ag dul idir mé
Is mo mhíle stór
Siúlfaidh mé na bailte seo
Agus siúlfaidh mé na róid
Agus dheamhan bean a phósfas mé
No go dtéim faoi fhód

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Summer will come
Grass will grow
Green leaves will sprout
On the treetops
My true love will come
At the break of day
And strike up a tune
Out of lonliness for me

I called last night
At the house yonder
I called again
To see if my true love was there
Her father said
She wasn't around
That she eloped last night
With the brown-haired boy

A curse on the sea
Because it's so vast
It goes between me
And the one that I love
I'll walk these towns
And tramp the road
And no woman will I marry
'Til I lie in my grave
