Siúil a Rún

I wish I was on yonder hill

'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill

Until every tear would turn a mill

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin

Siúil go socar agus siúil go ciúin

Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel

I'll sell my only spinning wheel

To buy my love a sword of steel

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red

And 'round the world I'll beg my bread

Until my parents shall wish me dead

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish I had my heart again

And vainly think I'd not complain

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

But now my love has gone to France

To try his fortune to advance

If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán
