Lyrics: English Translation:
   
A mh'ansacht na n-ansacht My love and delight
A dtug mé m'ansacht go léir duit To whom I gave all my love
Nach cuimhin leat mo mhealladh Do you remember how you befuddled me
Is rinn tú'n fheall orm na dhéidh sin And then betrayed me?
   
Anois atá mé folamh Now I am empty
Is go bhfuil m'intinn lánbhuartha And my thoughts troubled
'S mé ag amharc ar mo leannán To see how my sweetheart
Ag fear eile á bréagadh Is coaxed by another
   
Éireoidh mé ar maidin I will rise in the morning
Le theacht dheirg na gréine As the sun turns red
Agus fuígfidh mé mo bheannacht And I will say my blessing and my farewell
Ag cailíní an tsaoil seo To the girls of the world
   
Bhéarfaidh mé an ruaig sin I will go away
Thart suas fá Loch Éirne By Lake Erne
'S ní phillfidh mé 'na bhaile And I will not return home until
Go gcanfaidh 'n chuach ann gach réigiún The cuckoo's song doesn't echo in the sky
   
Mar bhláth bán na neoiníní Like the white daisy petals
Bhíos a' fás i dtús a' tSamhraidh That grow at the beginning of summer
Nó mar fhaolán dheas bhán Or like the precious white gull
A bhíos a' snámh ar na méillte That flies over the dunes
   
Mar ghrian os cionn na dtuillte Like the sun over the high sea
'Sí dealrú thart timpeall All resplendent
'S nach siúd mar bhíos mo ghrása Such is my beloved
A' deanámh rámhaillí i m'intinn Who has left me devastated
