Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Crochfaidh mé seolta is rachaidh mé siar I'll set sail and journey west
Óró mo churaichín ó Óró my curaichín ó
'S go hOíche Fhéil' Eoin ní thiocfaidh mé aniar 'Til midsummer night I won't return
Óró mo bháidín Óró my little boat
   
Curfá: Chorus:
Óró mo churaichín ó Óró my curaichín ó
Óró mo bháidín Óró my little boat
Óró mo churaichín ó Óró my curaichín ó
Óró mo bháidín Óró my little boat
   
Nach breá í mo bháidín ag snámh ar a'gcuan Isn't she fine as she glides in the bay
Óró mo churaichín ó Óró my curaichín ó
'S na céaslaí á dtarraingt go láidir 's go buan And the pull on the rowlocks so sturdy and strong
Óró mo bháidín Óró my little boat
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Nach lúfar í ag iomramh soir agus siar How swiftly she moves back and forth
Óró mo churaichín ó Óró my curaichín ó
'S a sárú ní bhfaighidh tú ó Árainn go Cliar You'll not find her like from Aran to Clare
Óró mo bháidín Óró my little boat
   
(Curfá 2x) (Chorus 2x)
