Elane - Shule Aroon lyrics

I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill And every tear would turn a mill Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán [Chorus] Shule, shule, shule a roon Shule go sookar agus shule go kewn Shule go doras agus ay lee lom Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a coat of steel Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And round the port I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn And now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn [translation of the Irish chorus] Go, go, go my love Go quietly and peacefully Go to the door and flee with me And may you go safely my dear.
