One morning in June, agus mé ag dul ag spaisteoireacht
Casadh liom cailín, ba ró-dheas a gnaoi
She was so handsome, gur thit mé i ngrá léi
Is d'fhága sí arraing i gceartlar mo chroí.
I asked her her name, nó cad é an ruaig bheannaithe
Chas ins an áit thú, a ghrá ghil mo chroí?
My heart it will break if you don't come along with me
Slán is beannacht le buaireamh an tsaoil.
'Muise cailín beag óg mé ó cheanntar na farraige
Tógadh go cneasta mé i dtosach mo shaoil
I being so airy2 ós é siúd ba chleachtach liom
That made my own parents and me disagree.
A chuisle 's a stór, ach an éistfeá liom tamall
I'll tell you story a b'ait le do chroí
That I'm a young man who's totally in love with you
Surely my heart is from roguery free.
Ah, go, you bold rogue! Sure you're wanting to flatter me
B'fhearr éan ar an láimh ná dhá éan ar an gcraoibh
I've neither wheat, potatoes or anything
Ná fiú an phluid leaba bheadh tharainn san oíche.
Ceannóidh mé tae is gléasfad an aice-se
Gúna English cotton den fhaisiún atá daor
So powder your hair, love, and come away along with me
Slán is beannacht le buaireamh an tsaoil.
There's an alehouse nearby, agus beidh muid go maidin ann
If you're satisfied, a ghrá ghil mo chroí
Early next morning, we'll send for a clergyman
Beidh muid ceangailte i nganfhios don tsaol.
Beidh muid ag ól a fad 's mhairfeas an t-airgead
Then we will take the road home with all speed
When the reckoning is paid, who cares for the landlady?
Slán is beannacht le buaireamh an tsaoil.
