Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
'Se mo laoch mo ghile mear He is my hero, my dashing darling
'Se mo chaesar, ghile mear He is my Caesar, dashing darling
Ni fhuaras fein aon suan ar sean I've had no rest from forebodings
O chuaigh i gcein mo ghile mear Since he went far away, my darling
   
Bimse buan ar buairt gach lo Every day I am constantly sad
Ag gui go crua 's ag tuar na ndeor Weeping bitterly and shedding tears
Mar scaoileadh uainn an buachaill beo Because our lively lad has left us
'S na riomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhron And no news from him is heard alas
   
Ni haoibhinn cuach ba suairc ar ndeoin The cuckoo sings not pleasantly at noon
Taid fiorchaoin uasal ar uaithne sport ___
Taid saoite suaite i mhuairt 's i mbron ___
O scaoileadh uainn an buachaill beo Since he went away from me, my lively boy
   
Nil seis go suairc ar chruachruit ceoil ___
Ta an eigse i ngruaim gan uaim na meabhair ___
Taid beathaithe buan ar buairt gach lo ___
O thearnaigh uainn an buachaill beo ___
   
Ni mhaoifad fein ce he mo stor ___
Ta insint sceal ina dhiaigh go leor ___
Ach guim chuigh m'aon mhic de na gcomhacht ___
Go dteigh mo laoch gan baol beo ___
