A Bhennáin, a bhúiredáin |
Oh little stag, thou little bleating one |
A bhéicedáin bhinn |
Oh melodious little clamorer |
Is bhinn linn in cúicherán |
Sweet to us is the music |
Do ní tú 'sin ghlinn |
Thou makest in the glen |
A Bhennáin, a bhúiredáin |
Oh little stag, thou little bleating one |
A bhéicedáin bhinn |
Oh melodious little clamorer |
Is bhinn linn in cúicherán |
Sweet to us is the music |
Do ní tú 'sin ghlinn |
Thou makest in the glen |
|
|
A dhrainéin, a dhelgnacháin |
Oh little blackthorn, little thorny one |
Dil dol doh roh day |
Dil dol doh roh day |
A mhinéin na chonaire |
Oh minen of the pathway |
Dil dol doh ray |
Dil dol doh ray |
A dhriséoc, a dhruimnechóc |
Oh briar, little arched one |
Dil dol doh roh day |
Dil dol doh roh day |
A chaillech, a chuirrechennach |
Oh hag, oh round-headed one |
In raga for ech? |
Wilt thou go on a steed? |

|
Is mé Suibhne sirthechán |
I am Suibhne, a poor suppliant |
Lúath reithim thar gleann |
Swiftly do I race across the glen |
Nochan é m'ainm dligthechán |
That is not my lawful name |
Mó is ainm dam Fer Benn |
Rather is it Fer Benn |
