Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Éirigh is cuir ort do chuid éadaigh Arise now and dress yourself quickly
Go mbearraidh mé féin do chúl 'Til I gaze once again on your brow
Go dté muid 'soir easpag na hÉirne And we'll go to the Bishop of Erin
Go gceangaltar mé 'gus tú In wedlock to pledge our vows
Bhí grá 's cion agam féin ort I love and cherish you dearly
A chuid 'en tsaol éalaigh liom Elope with me, love of my heart
'S nach duine dona gan chéill Wouldn't the person be silly or foolish
A scarfadh ó chéile sinn That would try to keep us apart?
   
Aisling a chonaic mé aréir Last night in a vision I saw her
Ar leaba agus mé i mo luí As I lay asleep on my bed
Go dtáinig sí chugam mar fhéirín She came to me as a treasure
Ainnir na gciabhfholt buí This beautiful golden-haired maid
Bhí a órfholt snoite go féar léi Her golden locks trailed on the green grass
Is níl tuile da mhéid nach gclaíodh A spate of beauty that none could surpass
Ó is, a Rí, ér mhiste do chléir é And why should it worry the clergy
Dá gcodlóinn aréir le mnaoi? If I slept with my true love last night?
   
Is trua gan mise is an niamh bheag I long that myself and my true love
Na leice mílte ó chuan Are not many leagues out to sea
In oileán an Chlochair Bhig Chraobhaig On a lonely and wooded island
Mar a thiteas na néalta chun suain Where the clouds glide silent and free
An áit a mbíonn an nead ag an éanlaith And small birds could peacefully nest there
An fiolar, an ghéag is an chuach Where the eagle and cuckoo could dwell
Chuirfinnse gease ar an éan bheag And I'd cast a spell on a small bird
Solas an lae thabhairt uainn The brightness of day to quell
   
Éirigh is cuir ort do chuid éadaigh Arise now and dress yourself quickly
Go mbearraidh mé féin do chúl 'Til I gaze once again on your brow
Go dté muid 'soir easpag na hÉirne And we'll go to the Bishop of Erin
Go gceangaltar mé 'gus tú In wedlock to pledge our vows
Bhí grá 's cion agam féin ort I love and cherish you dearly
A chuid 'en tsaol éalaigh liom Elope with me, love of my heart
'S nach duine dona gan chéill Wouldn't the person be silly or foolish
A scarfadh ó chéile sinn That would try to keep us apart?
