Lyrics: English Translation:
   
An raibh tú ar an gcarraig? Were you on the rock?
   
An raibh tú ar an gcarraig? Were you on the rock?
Nó an bhfaca tú féin mo ghrá? Or did you yourself see my love?
Nó an bhfaca tú gile agus finne Or did you see the brightness, the fairness
Agus scéimh na mná? Or the beauty of the woman?
Nó an bhfaca tú an t-úll Or did you see the finest apple
Ba chumhra a's ba mhilse bláth? That came from the healthiest flower?
Nó an bhfaca tú mo vailintín? Did you see my valentine?
Nó a' bhfuil sí dá cloí mar 'táim? Is she being persecuted as they are saying?
   
Do bhíos ag an gcarraig I was on the rock
A's do chonaic mé féin do ghrá And I did see your love
Do chonaic mé gile agus finne And I saw the brightness, the fairness
Agus scéimh na mná And the beauty of the woman
Do chonaic mé an t-úll And I did see the finest apple
Ba chumhra a's ba mhilse bláth That came from the healthiest flower
A's do chonaic mé do vailintín And I saw your valentine
Agus níl sí dá cloí mar táir She is being persecuted as they are saying
