Transcript

Mo dhíth agus mo léan, ar ndóigh mo (shuaitheadh) go léir
Agus as san ó thuaidh go dtí bruach Locha Léin
Mar a bhfaighinnse suaimhneas ón bpéin agus mo chuid 'on tsaol
Ó stuaire an chúil (dualtha dar tuairisceadh méin).

Do gheobhainnse go leor (d'éadach síodaí agus rób)
Lucht péarlaí na gcluasa is na bhfáinní do gheobhainn
Ní (díobhadh díom ár ngrá ach bhain díotsa... dhíom sáil)
Is do shiúlóinnse (an t-oileán is mé bogadh liom).

Translation

My sorrow and my grief, and certainly all of my turmoil(?)
And from there northwards to the shore of Lough Leane
Where I used to get relief from pain and my lot in life
From the handsome woman of the braided(?) hair whose beauty was spoken of (?).

I would get plenty of silk clothing and robes (?)
I would get one of those who wear pearls in their ears and rings (?)
Our love will not kill (??) me but it took away my enjoyment (?)
And I would walk the island and I moving along (?).
