    “Cailín beag óg mé as Conndae na Gaillimhe, ¶ Tógadh go maith mé i dtús mo shaoghail”

    Cailín beag óg mé as Conndae na Gaillimhe,
    tógadh go maith mé i dtús mo shaoghail
    If I was as vain as to bring you away along with me,
    d’fhágfá sa ród mé le tuitim na h-oidhche.
    So curl up your hair and come along with me
    Slán agus beannacht le buaidhreamh an t-saoghail,
    We had neither oats, potatoes, nor anything,
    Fiú plód na leabthan le cur tharainn san oidhche,
    So curl up your hair and come along with me,
    Slán agus beannacht le buaidhreamh an t-saoghail.
