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

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 loneliness 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
