Curfá: Chorus:
Óró bog liom í, bog liom í, bog liom í Óró bog liom í, bog liom í, bog liom í
Óró bog liom í, cailin deas donn Óró bog liom í, my brown-haired girl
Agus óró bog liom í, iompaigh is corraigh í Agus óró bog liom í, touch her and move with her
'S de réir mar a bhogfaidh sí tiocfaidh sí liom Gently I'd move her 'til she came to me
   
Dá bhfaighinnse mo chailín i lúbín na scairte If I had my love at the end of the garden
No i ngan fhios dá Daidí i ngáirdín na n-úll Unknown to her daddy to the orchard we'd go
Thabharfainnse cogar di 'chuirfeadh a chodladh í With just one whisper I would enchant her
Is de réir mar a bhogfadh sí thiocfadh sí liom And gently I'd move her 'til she came to me
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Dá bhfaighinnse mo chailín deas thíos cois an chladaidh If I had my young love down by the seashore
No i ngan fhios dá Daidí i mo churrach ar tonn Unknown to her daddy in a currach at sea
Thabharfainnse cogar di a chuirfeadh a chodladh í With just one whisper I would enchant her
Is de réir mar a bhogfadh sí thiocfadh sí liom And gently I'd move her 'til she came to me
   
(Curfá 3x) (Chorus 3x)
