Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Fuígfidh mise an baile seo mar tá sé dúghránna I will leave this town, for it is dark and ugly
'S rachaidh mé go Connachta nó siar go Laighean Uí Eára And go to Connacht or west to Laighean Uí Eabhra
An áit a bhfaighidh mé póg ó mo stór is míle fáilte The place where I'll get a kiss from my darling and a thousand welcomes
Sealabhán deas bó is cead mo phósadh ar a' táiliúir A nice herd of cows and permission to marry the tailor
   
A Mhuire nach mé an truaighe 's mé póst ar a' sclábhaí Mary, and isn't it a pity, and me married to the scoundrel
Nach ligeann amach 'un Aifrinn mé lá saoire nó Dé Domhnaigh Who won't let me go to Mass on a holiday or a Sunday
Nach dtéann go tigh a' leanna 's nach n-ólfadh gine óir liom Who won't take me to the pub, or drink a gold guinea with me
'S nach dteannfadh lena chroí mé mar dheanfadh buachaill óg mé Or hold me in his heart as a young man would
   
An áit a bhfaighidh mé póg ó mo stór is míle fáilte The place where I'll get a kiss from my darling and a thousand welcomes
Sealabhán deas bó is cead mo phósadh ar a' táiliúir A nice herd of cows and permission to marry the tailor
   
Pósadh go hóg mé mar gheall ar na puntaí I married young for the promise of money
Lán mo dhá laimh is níor shásaigh sé 'riamh m'intinn My two hands full of them, my mind was not satisfied
Nach trua nach dtig an reacht amach mar 'tá ar bha 's ar chaoirigh Isn't it a pity I can't be rid of him, as with a cow or sheep
An té nach dtaitneodh an margadh leis a sheoladh ar ais 'un aonaigh If you don't like the bargain, you can take him back to the fair
   
Fuígfidh mise an baile seo... I will leave this town...
