No/ beidh tu/ go fo/oill gan o/ no/ mac os da

A shilleadh an deor tra/thno/na no/ 'n maidin go

English Translation
I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young
girl,
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich
enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen
and Tyrone,
And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir
for County Mayo.
Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice,
But playing and drinking with new young women by
the mountain.
If I lost my wealth and I don't think I lost my
sense,
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn
for a year.
My love and treasure, don't marry the old grey
man,
But marry a young man, my Leo, even though he
lives but a year,
Or you'll still be without a daughter or son
above you,
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
