Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta

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 lass 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 sáileI 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
