    An Cailín Fearamhail Donn
    Is truagh gan mise in Alma
    Agus mé mó ceannuidhe snáth
    Roghain mo chroidhe bheith ar láimh liom,
    Níor bhfhada liom an lá.
    D'íocfadh sí an reicneál,
    Agus d'ólfainn é le fonn,
    Agus sheolfainn féin an fhairrge mhór
    Le mo chailín fearamhail donn.

    I wish I were in alma
    A Merchant man to be.
    My darling girl along with me
    How happy I would be
    She would pay the reckoning
    I'd drink it merrily
    I'd sail on the main ocean
    Le stoirín geal mo chroidhe
    3
    Da mbeadh bó nó dó ag mo stoirín
    Is maith a sheolfainn iad le fonn
    Níor bhfearr liom áit a sheolfainn iad
    Na thart ag bun Sliab Fionn
    Is tú a mhearaidhe is a bheoidh mé
