    One day for recreation is gan aoinne
    beo im chuileachtain
    I spied a charming fair maid na
    haonar is i siopa 'stig
    She was singing like an angel
    Is me ag éisteacht le na binne guth
    I whispered soft and aisy

    Ba bhréagh liom bheith ag iomaidh leat

    An bhean Dé úd bhí ag Jupiter
