  1. Tá an Samhradh ag teacht agus fás faidh an féar,
    Fasfaidh na duilleóga agus réimh,
    Tiochfaidh mo grása le fáiniú lae,
    Béidh mise abhaile leat le congnamh Dé
    *
    The summer is coming and the grass is green,
    The leaves are budding on every tree,
    The pretty small birds will join and sing,
    Saying your welcom back love
    To plough the spring
    *
    Tá an oidhche dorcha agus beaga lán,
    Tá na grasaí imthighthe agus ní thuig liom fáth.
    Tiochfaidh mo gleansa le cnochán bán agus ní pósfaidh mise go bhfuighidh mé bás.
    *
    This night is dark and is very cold my love is gone and cannot be found,
    I will rang those words and mountains high,
    I never will marry till the day I die,
