Testo Tá Mo Chleamhnas A Dhéanamh

Tá mo chleamhnas á dhéanamh inniu agus inné

'S ní mó ná go dtaitníonn an bhean udaí liom féin

Ach fuígfidh mé mo dhiaidh í, is rachaidh mé leat féin

Síos fána coille craobhaigh


A match was a-making here last night

And it isn't with the girl that I love the best

I'll leave her behind and I'll go along with you

Down by the banks of the ocean



'Mo codladh go h-eadarshuth b'aite liom féin

Leabaí luachair a bheith faoi mo thaobh
Buideal brandaí a bheith faoi cheann

'S mo chailín deas óg 'bheith ar lámh' liom



Sleeping to milking time is my delight

A bed of green rushes underneath my side

A bottle of brandy underneath my head

And a charming young maid in my arms



Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar

Shiúil mise Corcaigh 'gus sraideanna Bhaile' Cliath

Macasamhail mo chailín ní fhaca mise riamh

'Sí 'n bhean í a d'fhág mo chroí cráite



Oh I walked east and I walked west

I walked Cork and Dublin's streets

An equal to my love I didn't meet

She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
