- (continued from previous page)Is tú d'fagaidh mo chroidhe trom
Mo dhiombhadh go deo, deo thú
Is tú an cailín fearamhail donn.4
Da mba phíopa fada geala dom
Agus tobac le cur ann
Buidéal uisge beatha agus gloine le na roinn
Leaba glas den luachair
Agus suaimhneas in a ceann
Agus go bpósfainn féin mo stóirín
Mo chailín fearamhail donn.5
Stóirín ná bíodh brón ort
Ar ndóigh ná briseadh croidhe
Ná déanaidh nidh ar bith imnidhe ort
Acht aer agus spórt an t-saoghail,
Da mba liom-sa a bhfuil d'or buidhe ag stóirai geal an Ríogh
Go dtabharfainn é le comhaireamh
Go stóirín geal mo chroidhe6
True love don't be uneasy or troubled in your mind
Let nothing in the world engage you,
But roll and sport your time
If I had all the riches the king has in store
I'd give it to my true love and she is the girl I do adore.Fuair mé sin o Bean Mhic Ceamarcaigh Croc a Caisleáin
