Siúil A Rúin
 (Go, my love)

I would I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
Curfá
Siúil, siúil. siúil a rúin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

 Chorus:
Go, go, go my love
Go quietly and peacfully
Go to the door and flee with me
And may you go safely my dear.
Curfá

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Curfá

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And it's round the world I'll be for bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Curfá

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Curfá

And now my love has gone to France
to try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back it's but a chance
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
