Tá mo chleamhnas déanta ó athrú aréir S'ní mó ná go dtaithníonn an bhean liom féin Ach fágfaidh mé i mo dhiaidh í 'gus imeoidh mé liom féin Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach My match it was made here last night To a girl I neither love nor like But I'll take my own advice And leave her behind And go roaming the wild woods all over Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar Shiúil mise Corcaigh 'gus sráide Bh'l'áth Cliath Ach sámhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh 'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhág mo chroí cráite I walked up and I walked down I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns But no equal to my true love could I find She's the wee la** that's left my heart broken D'éirigh mé ar maidin dhá uair roimh an lá 'gus fuair mé litir ó mó mhile ghrá Chuala mé an smóilin 's an londubh á rá Gur ealiagh mo ghrá thar sáile I got up two hours before day And I got a letter from my true love I heard the blackbird and linnet say That my love had crossed the ocean
