Lyrics: | English Translation: |
I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill 'Til every tear would turn a mill |
|
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel |
|
Chorus: | |
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún | Go, go, go, my love |
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin | Go quietly and go peacefully |
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom | Go to the door and fly with me |
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán | And may you go safely, my darling |
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead |
|
(Chorus) | |
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain |
|
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún | Go, go, go, my love |
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin | Go quietly and go peacefully |
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom | Go to the door and fly with me |
(Chorus) |
